If you havn't already blown away your /usr/bin/autoconf file you can just set the environment variable WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1 to use the 2.57 version or set it to WANT_AUTOCONF_2_1=1 to use the 2.13 version. For more info, just open the file /usr/bin/autoconf and check out what it does. It is just a shell script that tries to determine the version of autoconf is needed and then call the appropriate version. The same magic is done for automake and autoheader too, so it might not be a bad idea to get a handle on what is being done... Josh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

There may not be an ebuild for it, but vim can also be compiled against Xlibs (or at least that used to be possible!). If you go that route the only GUI dependencies are the libraries required for a minimal X system. It looks like hell, but it works fine. Vim's the only editor I know of that can be compiled against all of the major widget libraries (Gtk, KDE, Motif, Win32, Xlib, or just console based) - you get to pick how much "bloat" you are willing to tolerate. On the bloat vs. useful features scale, vim does better than any other editor I know of... The only downside, IMHO, is the learning curve... Josh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I could never figure out why, but every .py file I would open would use an 8 space tab. Everything else would use 4... I always assumed that it was something in the syntax file, but I don't use python enough to spend too much time figuring it out. Maybe one of your syntax files is overriding your settings?

The "disk" for usermode linux is just a file (a loopback device). Just format it with ext3, reiser or some other filesystem. UML shouldn't care what FS the host system uses.

[gentoo-user] 2.6 issues.
Hi folks... I have been playing with 2.6 for a while now (mm-sources-2.6.0-test5). For the most part I am happy with it. The only real issue that I have had is logging in. When I boot into 2.4, I can login to my system without any problems. When I boot into 2.6 and try to login as a user the system hangs. I am able to log in as root and then su - to a user, but that's a headache. I have tried logging in at a prompt, using xdm and using kdm... All fail. On the other hand, I CAN log in as a user by ssh without problems. I have added my users to the tty group, but that doesn't seem to help. When the login hangs, I try to do a SysRq+T to get the state, but the machine slowly prints (literally takes about 10 seconds and you can see each character printed individually): SysRq : Show State and then quits. From that point on none of the SysRq functions will work at all. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Josh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] 802.11[bg] hardware support.
Hey folks... I am considering changing my existing home network to wireless. Unfortunately, from what I can tell, wireless is not well supported under linux. I will be using 1 PC that may or may not be attached directly by a wire (haven't decided yet), 2 laptops - one where I would prefer using PCMCIA if possible and with the other I can use PCMCIA, USB or CompactFlash - and a TIVO unit that is supposed to support both the Linksys WUSB11 v2.6 and WUSB12 adapters. I am running the 2.6 kernel on all my machines. I would prefer to use 802.11g, but support for that seems to be REALLY lagging behind... Does anyone have any hardware recomendations?

Re: [gentoo-user] Laptop + Gentoo
Be careful with Toshiba laptops. Getting my Toshiba Satellite 5005-507S working under linux was a big pain in the ass. I tried Redhat, Mandrake and finally settled on gentoo before I could get it working reasonably well. Even now, I can't use any of the gentoo kernel-sources ebuilds. Instead I had to download clean kernel sources from kernel.org and the appropriate patches to fix the issues (primarily ACPI, and sound. I still have this wierd thing where I have to re-configure the touchpad for X everytime I boot to a new kernel).

I *might* believe that 99% of SIGBUS errors are caused by hardware, but I have seen literally thousands of SIGSEGV dumps, and to the best of my knowledge every one of them was caused by software problems. In fact, I *know* that many of them were because I have fixed more than a few of the memory problems that caused the SIGSEGV in the first place... Josh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Or better yet, install both java 1.4.x and java 1.5. Then, use java-config to set the system JVM to the 1.4.2 version (-S flag) and set the default JVM for your user account to 1.5.x (-s flag - you will need to source the stuff in ~/.gentoo/ from your .bashrc file).You get all the java 1.5 goodies, but by default portage will use 1.4 for emerging programs.
