In fact, my CFLAGS were fine (anyway, I checked the avifile ebuild and it does not take the flags into account). I edited avifile configure script, and it appears it was looking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++, I looked up g++ and it lied in a directory called i586-pc-linux-gnu, so I went into my make.conf and changed the 6 to a 5 in my host variable. It works now, although I don't really understand why. Do you have any clue as to what happened ? Why are all the other apps comiling alright ? Thanks again, Jonathan -- I never vote for anyone.

Re: [gentoo-user] Bayesian spam filtering
I've been using bogofilter (http://bogofilter.sourceforge.net/) with procmail with great success. A few false negatives now and then but I haven't seen a false positive yet. The only thing I don't like about the setup is that I have to go to a commandline to mark the spam that slipped through bogofilter as spam. I wish that I could just throw something in a cron job that every couple hours it would re-compute its wordlists based on the contents of my spam folders and my other folders. Does anyone have a script that does this? I hear that spamprobe (http://spamprobe.sourceforge.net/) (not used it yet) has this capability built-in. Maybe I'll try switching to see how it works.

bogofilter might be what you're looking for. I'm using it on my postfix+mailfilter system, but it should work fine with procmail.

When I first read about Bayesian filters, I wrote my own fairly quickly, and I actually have an almost complete filter that allows for any amount of 'buckets', I just recently set up this Gentoo system, so I installed Popfile so I didn't have to install my library and filter. I really like the popfile interface, so I'll probably end up doing something similar with my own filter, once I get back to finishing it. > I guess simple things like To and From headers work well enough for > mailing lists (and I would normally keep a separate address for work > vs. home) that I hadn't even thought of using Bayesian filtering for > anything but spam.

Anyone who hasn't looked at Bayesian filters should, They give excellent results with a very simple algorithm, and all you have to do is train it when you start out. Using more categories makes it learn a little slower, but usually after seeng just a handful, a Bayesian filter already predicts with about 80% accuracy. The one I have setup now has 5 categories and is at 94% accuracy after about 1200 messages. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iQCVAwUBPuAovwqNYTLzAsoIAQI8mQP/W/rifRBlCI+ltlZ/Vqi9iSU/VlmnWdyP vSjEYo1UJg7e5XxN3EQDFCsEDGLMD+Y6WeOamQ70tvX4VL39mAWW+pEF1+s5lOuM MWGyKB0Jilc4y1Nk+L2t9XrcUuDqHXaUoLwWoKAyndGfF4wwQug61ILcMmu/8rRn B33625ElVPA= =RztF -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I am writing a program and I have several shared libs. The code was written on my machine using Caldera eWorkstation 3.1.1. Now on gentoo and code can not find the libs now. I have put path in /etc/ld.so.conf and no joy. I went looking for LD_LIBIRARY_PATH, is there such variable in gentoo or is there some other place or way for my program to use my libs.

These sites are excellent.

I suppose you're referring to this: http://www.eurocom.com/support/linux/comchart.htm... Err - that's not my idea of official support... All I can see are a few lame installation notes (they even dropped testing with Mandrake, it's now RH 9.0 only) and unsolved problems I suspect would simply go away if they tried hard enough and/or used different components. SuSE has a list of "certified hardware" that includes notebooks from Fujitsu-Siemens, Dell and others, but even those certifications contain a few caveats (mostly unsupported winmodems). Even IBM, no matter how busily deploying Linux on servers, didn't continue their former Linux notebook line. They were putting OpenLinux on ThinkPads at a time, and maybe SCO wouldn't have set their legal chihuahuas on their heels if those A and T models had actually sold well... *grin* So if you can't get official support, all that's left is the assumption that just about every piece of hardware out there should be supported by the right kernel configuration. The only way to be absolutely certain of a given laptop's compatibility with Linux seems to be buying one with Linux preinstalled.

Re: [gentoo-user] Postfix vs. Qmail
I have to say, I am quite happy with qmail. It takes a little bit to wrap one's head around all the little pieces, but the design is really elegant, and totally unix in philosophy: simple tools that do simple things reliably, that you string together to do what you want. I too have implemented spam filtering. I use qconfirm. It works great. I found qmail quite will documented. Even without the book, with the book it should be a peice of cake. I submitted an ebuild for qconfirm in response to a bug requesting one, but I do not think the bug has even been looked at by any one on the gentoo team. It is bug #21580. The bugs.gentoo.org seems to be down at the moment or I would paste a url. The ebuild can be downloaded from the attachment, and put in your portage overlay dir to install with emerge. Per the requirements for new ebuilds it is masked. I love that fact that qmail never runs as root, and will not even deliver mail to root. I have to admit I have never played with postfix.

Re: [gentoo-user] Anyone out there like to settle an argument
I administrate gentoo-only installs at two medium-sized companies. the first company grosses about 10M annually. the gentoo servers are used for dns, public websites, in-house databases (mysql), file sharing (netatalk), VPN, automated offsite backups, the internal web application (apache+mod_php+mod_ssl+mysql), etc. the second is much smaller but, as a provider of IT consulting and hosting, relies on the stability of gentoo a lot more. all internal and customer dns is done on gentoo, all customer email (qmail+vpopmail+sqwebmail), all non-asp customer websites, etc. all of their unix servers are gentoo (there are several NT machines because, thus far, it's not possible to run exchange or ASP/VBScript on any unix i know of). the decision to use gentoo in these situations was mine (i am a freelance consultant), so the companies themselves don't really advertise their use of gentoo (they aren't advocates like i am, they just like that it works). -j On Wed, 4 Jun 2003, David wrote: > Just thinking, I might have seen one like that before.

For some reason, when I have DRI enabled, and try to exit back to GDM, the system freezes up. Yes, the *system* freezes up - I've tried sshing in to the box afterward, and it doesn't like it.

RE: [gentoo-user] Laptop + Gentoo
Dell Inspiron 8200 with a radeon card. xfree was/is a pig, especially trying to use the LCD at high resolution and the external at a lower one for a projector, and an ext monitor at a different res again. Nvidia cards were less fuss! (by the way, does anyone have an XF86Config that will allow the LCD to run at a different resolution to the the external monitor AT THE SAME TIME with on a radeon M9?) When dell first released the 8000, there were lots of problems with the hardware (no drivers/setups available), so steer clear of newest models - desktop hardware is relatively constant and evolutionary, laptops Expect some fun when trying to set it up as lots of issues that desktops dont generally have (odd hardware, suspend, moving across networks, int/ext monitors/keyboards/mouse, touchpads. Overall, Mandrake (8.2 days!) was less fuss at first (most things were already set up), but gentoo is far better once that hurdle is over. You just keep emergeing, instead of blotting the disk every 6 months when a new distro comes out, and then go through the whole setup thing again and again. Gentoo is for the long haul!

Re: [gentoo-user] bin2iso problems
The reason .bin/cue pairs are better than .iso files is that bin/cue can encode multiple tracks. So when you convert b/c to .iso, you end up with as many iso files as there were tracks on the original cd. Presumably this is what -01 and -02 are. I would guess that 01 is ~600mb and 02 is ~50? You are probably trying to mount an audio track. 01 will definitely be iso9660.

I'm not sure why that is but probably has something to do with the kernel suspending and resuming properly.. no running module gets hung! I found OSS to suck ass though for my intel8x0 so I switched back to alsa... you can't compile alsa into the kernel unless you are using 2.5.* and I had trouble with pcmcia-cs with these kernels.. could be fixed now but I haven't tried as everything is working fine. All you really have to do is find out how to stop esd/arts and restart it on resume. Basically in /etc/apm/suspend.d you would have a script that stops all apps running sound and shuts down esd/arts then runs a '/etc/init.d/alsasound stop' and in /etc/app/resume.d you would '/etc/init.d/alsasound start' and restart esd/arts and all sound apps you like to have running and all should work nice.

My server has 3 netword cards. eth0 - Home LAN eth1 - Laptop PC eth2 - Internet My server PC eth0 is 192.168.0.1, eth1 is 192.168.0.4 and eth2 is dynamic. With IPtables I provide internet to the windows machines 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3.The line I have is: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth2 -j MASQUERADE Now, since my laptop has a network card I just want to connect it to eth1 in the server (a card already reserved for my laptop). eth0 connects to an ethernet LAN with coaxial cable. eth1 is a RJ45 cable connecting directly to the laptop network card. I would like laptop to access network card through my server. Do I need to modify anything on the server to share internet to the laptop? Laptop comes with winXP, I already resized partition to install Gentoo. But I need a network connection to install gentoo from stage 1, so I'll have to configure it also on the laptop.
