sorry for the double post...

ln -s /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3/libgcc_s.so.1
libgcc_s-3.0.4.so.1

seemed to make the problem go away.

is there something missing from the ebuild for GCC 3.3?

Re: [gentoo-user] survey: gentoo corporate usage?

2003-04-03 Thread Mark Saunders
I manage development at a small software firm in
Australia.
We began running Gentoo on our development 
systems about 8 months ago, and now have 5
systems in our office running Gentoo.
Before this we were using a mixture of windows, 
redhat and mandrake linux.

The primary reason we run Gentoo is because 
portage is far more user friendly and powerful -
far more useable - than any other linux package
management system.
In my opinion Gentoo is also easier to configure 
than any other distribution.
The Gentoo documentation is great too.

Whenever we get a new programmer on i have
them install their own Gentoo system from stage 1 -
it's a great learning experience (especially for 
developers who are not very familiar with linux to
start with).

I have often wondered what difference an
idiot-proof installer and binary packages stored on
the mirrors for portage would make to Gentoo..

I think it would completely alter the make up of the
userbase. It would take away from the advantages 
Gentoo has over other distributions. It would
change the focus of the distribution.

If there are people out there that want gentoo with a
graphical installer or portage with precompiled
binaries - let them build their own distribution based
on Gentoo.

Would that make everyone happy?

On Fri, 2003-04-04 at 10:15, William Kenworthy wrote:
 Not really: you would be putting a lot of effort in trying to make
 gentoo into a mandrake/redhat lookalike.  Gentoo's advantages are its
 easy update and software management, both of which you are saying are
 not needed in the scenario you paint.
 
 As far as better installer and hardware detection, gentoo has come a
 *long* way, but still needs to go further!

 I've recompiled modutils while booted into the mm-sources kernel, and

[gentoo-user] Gentoo on a Toshiba Satellite 2410

2003-03-30 Thread Mark Saunders
I've installed gentoo on my a toshiba satellite 2410..
it went alot smoother than i expected - no problems at all.

but i am having trouble getting xfree running.

i can get it running fine at 800x600, but i can't get it 
going at 1024x768. 1024x768 is the native resolution.

i've got the nvidia drivers installed properly and they 
are loading fine (800x600 works ok).

when i try to load at 1024x768 i either get a white screen
instead of the nvidia splash, or xfree can't find any usable
resolutions.

 The 2.4.19 Kernel had a bug in the Promise _raid_ driver, that can't be
 loaded, if the Promise _ide_ driver is loaded. Most of the *older*
 Boot-CDs used that kernel (e.g. knoppix 3.1, Gentoo). If you want to use
 Promise Raid (installed it with the Promise Bios), get a Boot-CD with
 the 2.4.18 or 2.4.20 kernel.

 I've only installed with software raid, but I'd guess you would point to
 /dev/md0 ().
 
 Maybe see if any device names are thrown to dmesg that could give you a
 clue as to what the array is named.

But the BIOS setup on this system does not mention RAID at all.
There is a RAID Controller option mentioned in the motherboard user

The BIOS is dated 29th January 2003.

I tried installing redhat 7.2 with a supplied fasttrack promise driver
but it doesn't work.

Hopefully i'll get an answer from ASUS but i'm not

After uninstalling distcc all emerges fail.

for example:

bash-2.05b# emerge portage
Calculating dependencies ...done!
 emerge (1 of 1) sys-apps/portage-2.0.47-r10 to /
*** Adjusting cvs-src permissions for portage user...
*** Adjusting cvs-src permissions for portage user...
 md5 ;-) portage-2.0.47-r10.tar.bz2
 Unpacking source...
 Source unpacked.

emerge gets stuck at that point and gcc seems to hang, sitting there
taking up 100% of cpu time.

 distcc should not come into play that early I dont think.  Something else
 must be hosed.  Make sure yoru make.conf is set up correctly.  Otherwise,
 something else is probably hosed, unrelated to distcc, but I am betting on
 something you changed in make.conf

line of the ebuild, but that line executes fine when
i do it manually in the /var/tmp/portage/etc source directory...

[gentoo-user] portage acting strangely

2003-03-03 Thread Mark Saunders
i emerged portage 2.47-r8 this morning, now i am unable to emerge
anything.

anyone seen this before?

Calculating dependencies ...done!
 emerge (1 of 1) app-editors/jedit-4.1 to /
!!! File system problem. (ReadOnly? Out of space?)
!!! Perhaps: rm -Rf /var/tmp/portage
!!! [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src'

i've tried rsyncing, re-emerging portage, deleting
/usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src and /var/tmp/portage all to 
no avail.

[gentoo-user] openssl problems

2003-02-23 Thread Mark Saunders

I'm not sure what has happened.. the odd behaviour of portage last week seems
to have broken openssl?

When trying to load openssh, or evolution, or any application that uses ssl, i 
get the following error:

relocation error: /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.6: undefined symbol: X509_free

I have tried re-emerging openssl and the applications that depend on it to no
avail.

Anyone have any ideas?

[gentoo-user] Can /var/db/pkg be rebuilt?

2003-02-21 Thread Mark Saunders
Last night i was encoding some cd's while slightly drunk..

To make some disk space, i thought i'd delete /var/tmp/portage/*..
but i accidentally deleted /var/db/pkg/* instead.

Is there anyway to rebuild the package database or does this
system need reinstalling?

[gentoo-user] Consequences of upgrading XFree

2003-02-03 Thread Mark Saunders
I'm running 1.4 unstable (~X86).

Yesterday i emerged XFree 4.2.99.4.
Now GDM, and Mozilla won't run.
I unemerged and re emerged both with no success.

I also recently emerged KDE 3.1 and unemerged KDE 3.0.5a.
Now all the fonts in KDE are messed up, they don't seem to be
anti-aliased, but anti-alias is checked
in the control centre.

My colleague who also runs gentoo 1.4 on his 
work system experienced the same.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

 Me too :-(   I couldn't understand why suddenly mozilla was silently
 refusing to start and gramps was giving this:
 $ gramps
 No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig
 library is not correctly configured. You may need to
 edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information
 about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual
 page and on http://fontconfig.org

 ...until I realised that `emerge -u world` had just upgraded xfree to
 4.2.99.4.

 I'm now in the process of going back to xfree-4.2.1

I'm now having the problem where KDE won't display fonts in bold!
In Konqueror, Kmail etc.
