* Anders Eriksson (2003-07-26 10:16 +0200) I'd like to add a warning here. I (being a longtime Linux and distcc user, albeit a gentoo newcommer) tried emerge -e world with distcc. It turned out that zlib did NOT like that. For some reason it, during ./configure, decided that my system was not shared-object capable, and skipped building the .so files. Not fun at all. Even distcc with just 127.0.0.1 in the group trigged it. Is localhost the first entry in your DISTCC_HOSTS?

I (being a longtime Linux and distcc user, albeit a gentoo newcommer) tried emerge -e world with distcc. It turned out that zlib did NOT like that. For some reason it, during ./configure, decided that my system was not shared-object capable, and skipped building the .so files. Not fun at all. Even distcc with just 127.0.0.1 in the group trigged it. Is localhost the first entry in your DISTCC_HOSTS? According to the man page: 'The literal word localhost is interpreted specially to cause compilations to be directly executed, rather than passed to a daemon on the local machine.'

The linux-wlan-ng drivers work with kernel 2.4, but I didn't get it going

the network connection is broken.
This chipset is also supported by the kernel build-in orinoco_pci driver.
This works with kernel 2.4 and 2.6. I think, it is always a good situation
to have the choice between two or more drivers.
The linux-wlan-ng configuration is well documented and straight forward. For
these orinoco stuff I actually wonder where to put the iwconfig calls to
set essid, encryption, etc. I put it into net.eth1, but don't feel
comfortable with it. PCMCIA user have the /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts file
for that purpose. But what if you have a pci card?
However, Prism 2.5 chipset seems to be reasonable choice.

[gentoo-user] Some misc stuff
Hi; all my Gentoo systems (desktop Athlon 1.3 Ghz, server Pentium 166 Mhz, and laptop Pentium IV 1.8 Ghz), are near perfection. Really; they work so good I want to cry of joy. This unbelievable heaven it's just not perfect because some little annoying things: 1. In both my Gnome setups, I've a submenu in the Applications menu that says KDE Menu (I've KDE for some apps). The icon in the menu is a page with a red cross (I assume that the icon is missing/not found). I want to change that for a) remove it or b) set the icon. (I know this is almost ridiculous, but really the system is near perfection). 2. First time I install Gentoo, I've BEAUTIFUL fonts in Mozilla (really, the guys at the work with Windows or Mac OS X where like whoa!). Then (I think it was when XFree 4.0.3 was marked stable), I loose those fonts (along with my japanese fonts; I surf a lot of japanese sites). Now I manually install a lot of fonts, and Mozilla it's Ok, but not perfect. So, anyone knows how to configure ALL the fonts in Mozilla (not only the GUI, I mean, ALL the fonts)? 3. My Athlon no longer shutdowns. When I halt the machine, the console gets a power off message, and stays there. I don't know why this happen; I don't remember recompiling my kernel, and it used to work. This is the most annoying thinh, because I can't shut down the machine by a script or remotely. Any help with these issues will be great. Thanks!

When the drive is new it will boot it up fine, I infact installed all of 1.4 all the way through the install using hdb1 as a /home onlydrive. Install went fine, but upon booting the first time the machine hangs. It will not boot again with the WD drive? No matter what I try the WD will not allow the machine to boot. I can boot into mynew gentoo system fine as long as I leave the WD drive unplugged. So I tried another out of the box. It boots the CD fine and ran fdisk /dev/hdb and partitioned it as hdb1 and made an ext3 out of it. I even mounted it and wrote to it using the CDbooted system. As soon as I boot again I'm back to the same problem. It will not boot with the WD drive. Anyone have any suggestions?? 2 suggestions. Have you set the jumpers on the drives to Master/Slave? Don't rely on cable select. Alternatively, plug the drive into the secondary IDE controller, and make it hdc or hdd and see if that helps. -- Reverend Paul Colquhoun, ULC.http://andor.dropbear.id.au/~paulcol Asking for technical help in newsgroups?

Moving one of the drives to the second IDE channel is a good idea anyway so you can access both hard drives simulatenously at full speed.

[gentoo-user] Latest portage version
I just updated to the latest version of portage and when I check what packages I need, by doing an emerge -up world, I get a few lines like the following. [blocks B] dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.05-r6 (from pkg dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12) What are blocks? Are these packages that are blocked by devs because they may (or do) have issues? This is the first I've seen this so I thought I'd ask around just to be safe. Thanks, Jason Giangrande -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
