Yes, the right way is to file a bug on bugzilla. But be patient. A developer 
needs to be willing to maintain your ebuild, or it won't ever get accepted to 
portage.

 I have:

That's right, for Dothan processors, 'pentium4m' or 'pentium4' should be
used. 'pentium-m' and 'pentium3'+sse2 are for old centrino processors.

With a 2.13Ghz pentium-m, I am using:
CFLAGS=-march=pentium-m -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe

I recommend using either -Os or -O3 with the pentium-m.  In my 
experience, -Os and -O3 provide slightly better overall performance than 
-O2, although I should mention a few things will probably run slower.  
As far as mmx, sse, and the like, I'd say enable those through USE flags 
for those packages that support them.


Also, be sure you are using the latest version (3.4.4) of gcc by running 
gcc-config -l.

[gentoo-user] Connecting a Linux workstation to a Windoze server

2005-10-24 Thread Andrew Lowe


Hi all,
	I have the situation where I work that it is a total M$ setup. Our 
workstations use DHCP to grab IP addresses from the Win2003 server. For 
various reasons I want to place a Gentoo box on the network. For some 
reason when I try to bring up the network interface on the Gentoo box, 
which has a dhcp client, the dhcp client times out and I can't obviously 
get an IP address.


	Does anyone know of any gotcha's or traps for young players when trying 
to get IP addresses from a Win2003 server from the Linux world?

Openldap (like most software) installs its code in libraries under /usr/lib. 
They are called libname.a (static) or libname.so (dynamic). In your case the 
file is called /usr/lib/libldap.so. But you don't really need to know that. To 
compile your code, simply type:


gcc -o your_prog main.o myfile1.o myfile2.o -lldap

Where -lldap means: link against libldap.

[gentoo-user] bash completion for paths not working

2005-10-24 Thread Mark Knecht

Hi,
   On one machine of mine, and only one machine, bash completion is
not working for my user account when I try to complete a path. I hit
tab and nothing happens. Bash completion is working for files though.
I can do bash completion in my home directory and get a list of files,
but if I try to complete /usr/sr  but hitting a tab it just sits and
does nothing.

   It works fine for root.

   What turns this feature on for a user? I copied a good .bashrc file
from a working machine over and logged back into the bad machine but
that didn't fix it.

   man bash makes it look like it should be on by default.

  Thanks for the unix lesson.

[gentoo-user] OT -- gcc .o linking and undefined references

2005-10-24 Thread Dan

Hi everyone, I'm doing something really obviously wrong, but I don't 
know what.


I can gcc -c -o file.o file.c  and get a binary object.

I do this for the main and two helper .c files

This works, then I get a bunch of .o files.

then you usually do

gcc -o final executable name main.o myfile1.o myfile2.o

and gcc does the linking.

In thsi case, myfile2.c uses ldap_init and ldap_simple_bind, and 
myfile2.h inludes ldap.h.


At this point, there is no ldap.o, just the ldap.h from 
/usr/include/ldap.h so compile of everything stalls, saying that there 
is an undefined reference to the function ldap_init and ldap_simple_bind.


Testing indicates that you can do:

int main() {
thingy_do(123);
}

and it will happily do a gcc -c -o main main.c  and create the object, 
which is what it should -- it's not until we link .o's to create a real 
executable that the system wants to make sure the executable code exists.


The bit that makes me think I'm stupid is that it seems that neither gcc 
or I can find the source (.c) or compiled binaries (.o) which implement 
the structures and functions defined in ldap.h.  What am I doing wrong?  
Where are the .c and .o files supposed to be on a regular linux system? 
Where on gentoo? Have I missed a crucial flag?

What you cited then looks like the final linking step. My first guess
is that the ebuild doesn't list all dependencies of abiword that it
actually has and in your case you're missing one. Check the -lx
lines (libraries) if something is obviously not yet installed. I don't
really know which library is supposed to provide those missing
functions, and searching for them doesn't make lot of sense - I guess
new and delete aren't very typical for one certain library...

Have you got some old .h header files lying around
in /usr/local/include? This might totally mess up things, as well as
duplicate libraries (of different versions) in /usr/lib
and /usr/local/lib.

you are missing the agetty application that is described in your /etc/inittab

using your livecd and doing the chroot thing like when you installed. either 
that or you are playing with a new kernel, and forgot to compile support for 
the filesystem which /sbin is on. 

Consider that init calls inittab as soon as the kernel is up, so if it stops, 
you will probably only see a few lines from the kernel on screen and not much 
else... is this what you are experiencing?

That said I hate to leave anything undone, so on the off chance that
anyone on this list has suffered the bug and come across the solution,
could you let me know.
I will post any version information as asked, but in brief with regard
to gtk/X11 and other such fundamental pieces of software they will all
be portage marked stable items.

The first kernel (default=0) works fine. The second kernel (default=1)
is a vanilla 2.6.13.1 and contains no modules; that is everything has
been compiled in, so I figured that I do *not* need a ramdisk (initrd)

Re: [gentoo-user] CFLAGS setting for Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHZ stepping 08

2005-10-24 Thread Sascha Lucas


Hi Richard,



I've just got a new laptop I'm installing Gentoo on and was wondering if
anyone could advise on the CFLAG setting I'm using. The CPU is a
Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHZ stepping 08. Currently I've set
CFLAGS=-02 -mcpu=pentium -pipe


You may look at 
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags#Pentium-M_.2F_Centrino_.28Intel.29

If you use x86 (not ~x86) then you have a gcc  3.4.3. The page above 
proposes to use: CFLAGS=-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe. A friend of mine with 
a Pentium M uses CFLAGS=-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer, 
which is dangerous if you believe the wiki-page.


If you plan to use gentoo on many x86 systems with different CPU's and you 
want to share binarys. I recommend to use: CFLAGS=-O2 -march=i686 
-fomit-frame-pointer -pipe (runs on any Intel/AMD/... starting from 
Pentium2-class CPU).

[gentoo-user] IPv6, now what?

2005-10-24 Thread Zhang Weiwu

Hello. I recently got an IPv6 address for my small server (or perhaps I
recently got a lot of IPv6 address, I cannot tell) from my ISP.  This is
what I did in attempt to activate this address (all following exactly
what is written on the ISP's manual)

5 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 4024ms

Now what? Is my ipv6 address working now? I don't see a clue on how to
do testing.

Further more I found the documents closest ('closest' by the means of
google) is surprisingly outdated. I was thinking IPv6 is a hot topic
untill I get these documents, e.g.
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux+IPv6-HOWTO mension 2.5 kernel as
something in the future (they say 2.4 kernel do not have full support of
IPv6 and they are looking forward to have a kernel with good IPv6
support). Another document says the latest kernel version is 2.1
(http://www.cs-ipv6.lancs.ac.uk/ipv6/systems/linux/faq/linux-ipv6.faq-4.html#ss4.2).
 
I am still going through the documents to find more knowledge.

One question important to me but I never understood well. If I have a
website only defined on IPv6 address, is this website accessible from
major platforms (e.g. Win2k+/modern Linux, IE 6+/Firefox 1+) without any
special configuration on the client side?

Could you post the output of gcc -print-search-dirs?

Particularly, I am looking to see something like:

libraries: =/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/...

I think the libstdc++ library in this directory contains the 
gxx_personality_v0 symbol, but the stdc++ in /usr/lib does not.  If gcc 
was somehow linking against /usr/lib first, it would pull in the 
libstdc++ from there, and you would end up with the problem above.  So 
you should also check that /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4 contains 
usable libstdc++ files:

 I will post any version information as asked, but in brief with regard

 The fault occurs with both src built and bin versions.

 Good good.

  What package uses this poppasswd file?

 cmd5checkpw, and anything else which does CRAM MD5 authentication at a guess.
 CRAM is done by sending a hash of the password over the wire, the salt is
 unique for each connection, so you need the plain text password on the server
 to check against, which are kept in poppasswd.
 Secure over the wire, hideously insecure on the server.

  I tried qpkg, but that doesn't seem to exist any more?

 Yeah, it got moved to another package as it's depreciated in favour of equery.

  Does the above mean I can safely enable noauthcram?

 Yes.

Re: [gentoo-user] vnc

For remote access over the public Internet I usually use ssh. With the
'-X' option it gives you secure encrypted port forwarding to your
local X server, which appart from a speed hit is functionally pretty
close to having a directly connected X terminal.

Of course if you are trying to connect from a Windose or other non-X
system, then VNC is probably what you need.

[gentoo-user] Connecting a Motorola C380 mobile via USB

Hi,

My post from yesterday seems to have disappeared into the ether, so
I'll try again - appologies if this is eventually repeated...

I would like to connect a mobile phone (Motorolo C380) with USB connector
to my gentoo system so as to give me both mobile Internet access and
also the ability to access phonebook, images, audio etc stored on the
phone.

When I connect the phone, the /proc/bus/usb/devices file shows:
 T:  Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#=  8 Spd=12  MxCh= 0
 D:  Ver= 1.10 Cls=02(comm.) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
 P:  Vendor=22b8 ProdID=4902 Rev= 0.01
 S:  Manufacturer=Motorola Inc.
 S:  Product=Motorola Phone (C380)
 C:* #Ifs= 2 Cfg#= 1 Atr=c0 MxPwr= 20mA
 I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=02(comm.) Sub=02 Prot=01 Driver=(none)
 E:  Ad=89(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=  16 Ivl=10ms
 I:  If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=0a(data ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=(none)
 E:  Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  32 Ivl=0ms
 E:  Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  32 Ivl=0ms

and /var/log/messages shows:
 usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8

Although attempring to disconnect and reconnect typically returns
something like
 usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 3
 usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
 usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
 usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
 usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
 usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71

Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this sort of thing?
I have emerged gnokii which so far has not recognised anything as
being connected. Not sure if it is compatability issue or a
configuration issue.

Also have emerged libusb, but I really need to find some more
documentation on USB interfaces to tackle cobbling anything together
with that.

Re: [gentoo-user] bash completion for paths not working

2005-10-24 Thread Holly Bostick

Mark Knecht schreef:
 Hi, On one machine of mine, and only one machine, bash completion is 
 not working for my user account when I try to complete a path. I hit 
 tab and nothing happens. Bash completion is working for files though.
 I can do bash completion in my home directory and get a list of
 files, but if I try to complete /usr/sr  but hitting a tab it just 
 sits and does nothing.
 
 It works fine for root.
 
 What turns this feature on for a user? I copied a good .bashrc file 
 from a working machine over and logged back into the bad machine but 
 that didn't fix it.
 
 man bash makes it look like it should be on by default.
 
 Thanks for the unix lesson.
 
 Cheers, Mark

Yes, I have a similar problem, but bash-completion doesn't work
correctly for anybody (user or su root).

I uncommented the bash completion command in both ~/.bashrcs long ago,
and at first the problem was only for root (which was weird enough); now
(what constitutes 'now' as opposed to 'previously' I don't know) if I
hit tab when filling in a path or a filename, as you said, nothing
happens; if I fill in the rest of the path manually, the file is not
found-- because my use of the TAB key has invisibly taken me up one
directory (where the file does not exist). When I hit enter, I find that
if I had started in /usr/local/src, I am now in /usr/local, for example.

This occurs under various terminals (aterm, gnome-terminal,
multi-gnome-terminal, xterm), although bash-completion fails differently
under each of them (which is also weird). I know something has changed,
but not what.

Although now that I'm looking into this (which I had not really
taken time to do, so I wasn't really 'worrying' about it as I had put
this annoyance on my secondary 'to-do/fix' list, despite the fact that
it's a major annoyance) I notice that I have both bash-completion and
bash-completion-config installed-- and the man
page for bash-completion-config says that the config files are in
/etc/bashcomp-configrc, if it exists, or $HOME/.bashcomp-configrc, if it
exists.

So at least I probably need to check there first to see if
bash-completion has in fact been set, since there is no mention of
~/.bashrc and perhaps those settings are now invalid, or in conflict.

Something for you to check as well, Mark?

 You file a bug about a missing ebuild for tkgate nad attach you ebuild

Re: [gentoo-user] [ot] PDF or PS format for daily use?

2005-10-24 Thread Daniel da Veiga

On 10/23/05, Zhang Weiwu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Hello. I have got a lot (much more) ps files and PDF files since I start to
 use Linux. In the past there were mostly doc files but now I always prefer
 to have a PS or PDF copy to ease the compatibility pain. And looks linux
 people always prefer to send me a PS or PDF document.

 Because I always save two copies of every of my document, one in original
 format (eg. odt) and another in printable format for my colleagues in case
 they don't have the Linux fonts and software. Here comes the question should
 I keep a PS copy or PDF copy.

 I think PDF copy is absolutely the prefered format because:
 * easier to find acrobat reader;
 * can be 'Tagged', especially used with OOo;
 * possibility to 'copy and paste', though format will be lost;
 * not to take other people by surprise with unfamiliar PS extension;
 * different quanlity: I can save PDF in very high quanlity that I was told
 can be taken to press house
 * easy to convert to PS format when needed.

 Here comes the question: if the above all stands true, why do I ever need PS
 format at all? There might be some reasons to keep this format still
 existing. Perhaps in other areas, other then office work.

 So the conclusion: for typical office workers, we can forget PS format.

 Now welcome for suggestions.

 P.S. another quesiton I happen wish to have an answer: in one case, I have
 to keep PS format because, I can print booklet (brochure) in OOO2 right the
 way I expected, but if I carry this brochure to my colleague, and he doesn't
 have openoffice, then I try to export to PDF format, and found there is no
 'brochure' option in exporting, also there is no 'brochure' option in
 Acrobat Reader printing dialogue box, so it's clear if I export to PDF
 format I will never be able to print it in brochure style on a normal PC, so
 I have to print to PS file and carry it. But so far this is the only case I
 think I need PS format. If I only exported PDF format, can I still print a
 brochure? The difficulty in printing brochure is you have to make correct
 page order.

first make sure vnc is actually running and listening.  when you start the

Make sure with netstat -a that it really is listening there.  Second, are you 
running iptables on that box?  as a quick test, if you are, shut down 
iptables and see if you can see it.

 you are missing the agetty application that is described in your

 reemerge by using your livecd and doing the chroot thing like when you
 installed.

Or ist is installed, but has no execute permission.

 either that or you are playing with a new kernel, and forgot

If this was the case, how could init be executed, or even read inittab?

Re: [gentoo-user] [ot] PDF or PS format for daily use?

In general, I think it is pretty straight forward to go from PDF
to postscript, and PDF seems easier to access for Windows users,
so if you can store a PDF file as your displayable format then
I don't think you need to also store the postscipt.

There are occasions, however, when PDF output isn't an option
and so postcript is necessary. For example, I have yet
to find a way to get TeX ducuments which include TeXdraw diagrams
into PDF without losing all the graphics. 

Does anyone know if gs or something similar is available for
windows?

Vnc (I've only dealt with tightvnc, can't speak for others) is pretty
easy to use/start. After you've emerged tightvnc, simply type
xvncserver :1 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24 from a shell and
it will setup a vnc server. From there you can use a vnc client
to connect to the server, using this format: IP address of
server:1 --- the colon is important as it denoted
screen 1. Once you connect to that it will give you a vnc desktop
running at a 1024x768 resolution with a 24-bit color depth. By
default, tightvnc (Gentoo-specific?) uses twm as the window manager,
but you can easily change this to use gnome, kde, or virtually any

[gentoo-user] inhouse email

2005-10-24 Thread Mark

Can anyone who has done it comment on the downside (if any) of bringing
email in-house, as opposed to continuing to pay a hosting provider? My
plan is to have a separate server, sitting by itself in the DMZ, so the
internal LAN should remain relatively safe. The DSL provider we use
will host the DNS records (MX). We have a top-notch firewall already in
place, but this is the first step we've taken toward making anything
available inbound, so I'm cautiously optimistic.-- Mark[unwieldy legal disclaimer would go here - feel free to type your own]

Re: [gentoo-user] inhouse email

Two things, well several things, really.  You need more than one mail server, 
or you need a store-and-forward mx in case your mail server goes down.  
Second, I'd make sure you put antivirus and spam guards on the mail server, 
and that it's beefy enough to handle the traffic.  A good split is to put a 
bastion mail server doing antivirus and spam checks, but no user verification 
outside the firewall (or inside a non-natting firewall), and have him just 
forward everything to a secure mail server inside.  put the secure mail 
server with a non-routable ip, and the bastion mail server with one public 
ip, and one non-routable, to talk to the secure mail server.  Make sure both 
mail servers are up-to-date and kept up to date patchwise.  Run NO other 
services (except maybe ssh) on either server.

 I have an in-house mail server.  In my experience, the only problem I
 have with it is when our cable Internet goes out.  I pay $99USD a month
 for cable Internet with a static IP and the cable usually goes out for a
 couple of hours on the weekends (grrr).  Other than that I haven't
 really had any problems with it...
this might be a little off-topic, but zoneedit.com will provide a 
store-and-forward backup mx for like $10/year.  That's what I use.

Generally, most mail will sit in a queue for around 3 days before 
failing to deliver - but that depends on the host/server. So, the odd 
outage shouldn't be a problem - at least it's not with me here :)


Also, it's worth double-checking to see if your ISP will allow port 25

You might want to find a provider to be your secondary MX so that email 
will get queued and forwarded upon failure of your DSL or your server.

Re: [gentoo-user] inhouse email

It is easy enough to set it up and test it in parallel with your
current setup. Nothing important should be directed there till you
advertise it..

I have been running a mail server on my home system ever since I got
my DSL connection at home. It is where I normally direct mailing
list traffic and other correspondence which is non critical,
because I can create dedicated aliases which all point the the
same ultimate mailbox, making it easy to identify where spammers
have been obtaining addresses from, and making it possible to just
invalidate the effected address...

For person mail that I want to be able to access when I am
travelling I use a mail forwarding address which can be
pointed at an ISP hosted POP3 mailbox (which is polled using
fetchmail when I am home) or when needed can be pointed direct
to my home server.

Re: [gentoo-user] using g++ instead of gcc to build abiword

On October 22, 2005 11:53 pm Richard Fish was like:

 Could you post the output of gcc -print-search-dirs?

 Particularly, I am looking to see something like:

 libraries: =/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/...

 I think the libstdc++ library in this directory contains the
 gxx_personality_v0 symbol, but the stdc++ in /usr/lib does not.  If gcc
 was somehow linking against /usr/lib first, it would pull in the
 libstdc++ from there, and you would end up with the problem above.

zebedee ~ # gcc -print-search-dirs

There is a lot of convoluted repetition here.  Would that make a difference? 

 So 
 you should also check that /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4 contains

All of the above are where they should be on my system.

That's fine for outgoing mail, but unless an MX record exists for the 
internal server on a domain/subdomain, it's difficult to 'direct' 
traffic from the outside in.


The only other way I can think off is to test the server using either a 
telnet port or a script from an off-site computer onto the new server.

All me e-mail comes in on my home server and has been now for ~3 years, 
along with my families for the last year or so now that multiple domains 
has been setup. I've even used it as an emergency backup for another 
server when that went down.


As for remote access, I use IMAP over SSL. Most new phones and PDA's 
support SSL encryption over IMAP and SMTP, plus I have the advantage of 
all my mail being handled from one location.

I'd like to disagree with a couple points on here.

First off, a secondary MX is not necessary.  If an email can't get through 
due to a server being down, it will be retried and get through later when 
the server is up.

Second, if you are receiving email from the outside world and are not doing 
any user verification, you are a source of backscatter, and therefore of 
spam.  Do not accept mail for invalid receipients.  Do not have a secondary 
MX if you can not do recipient verification with it.  Accept-and-bounce is 
spam.

Depending on the amount of mail received, it's not necessary to separate 
services to different boxes.  Sending and receiving mail takes very little 
resources.  It's the extra services, such as spam and antivirus, that 
require heavier hardware, again depending on your load.  You do want to 
make sure, though, that no outside connections are possible to any spam or 
virus filtering programs on the mail server.

	I'd skip the store and forward, it does nothing for you IMHO. The 
default queue time on most mail servers is 5 days. That should be more 
than enough time to get your mail server up and running or move your 
mail to somehwere else. If 5 days isn't enough time to make 
arrangements, then having a backup MX with store and forward would add 
some value. However store and forward servers don't allow you to check 
your mail from them in most cases so we're talking about no one in the 
office getting their mail for 5+ days. I'd definitely make plans for an 
outage, but I don't see store and forward as a necessary part of 
disaster recovery.


	Before splitting your mail up into multiple machines think about the 
number of users you have, the amount of mail you get, and what sort of 
server you have. A decent sized server can easily deal with a 50-100 
person office using webmail, imap, and spam filtering. I'm sure you can 
find someway to shoot yourself in the foot and need more servers, but 
some simple planning should keep that from happening.


1. Block mail up front.
	Use greylisting as it stops spam before it enters the MTA's queue. This 
keeps 90% of my spam from even entering the more resounce intensive 
filtering processes.


2. Don't use blacklists
	30% false positive rate. Comapared to 1-2% for Bayesian or Markovian 
filtering.


3. Do some simple check up front, but don't do too many.
	Require a helo, reject invalid hostnames, reject unknown domains, 
reject non FQDN, and that's pretty much it. Requiring DNS to match and 
other checks is something you can do, but I've found that there are too 
many poorly configured legitimate mail servers for this to be worth the 
hassle.


	Protecting your mail server is good, but you need to make that decision 
based on how you plan to use it. I've seen offices where you had to log 
into the VPN in order to check your mail, much like the system John 
described above. I've seen others where it was out on a public IP with 
no protection. Personally I go for somewhere in the middle.


1. Firewall
	You have one, so no problems here. Do remember that any sort of smtp 
protocol inspection usually breaks smpt-auth so you may need to turn 
that off.


2. Encryption
	You're not going to have all sorts of bearely litterate idiots using 
your mail server so you can configure and force all your users to use 
TLS with smtp, imap-ssl, pop3-ssl, and actually not run the unsecure 
services at all.


3. Webmail and user management
	I needed to support webmail and also wanted to use PostfixAdmin as the 
frontend to mail. PostfixAdmin allows users to change their password and 
set their own vacations which is all stuff I don't have to do anymore. 
PostfixAdmin also allows me to create users, aliaes, add domains, etc 
without having to deal with phpmyadmin or writing the SQL manually in a 
virtual system... you might not need to get that complicated. I'm also 
running Horde and did some changes that allow users to change their 
password through there as well to keep support requests down. Running 
these requires Apache, mod_php, and mod_ssl if you want to force https 
for logins and what not. If you're small enough I'd just force https 
period.
	I suspect that'll you'll need webmail or it'll just be too handy not to 
do. Make sure you look into some of the tuning stuff to keep it fast 
like imap-proxy.

Re: [gentoo-user] using g++ instead of gcc to build abiword

On October 23, 2005 02:39 am Hans-Werner Hilse was like:

 What you cited then looks like the final linking step. My first guess
 is that the ebuild doesn't list all dependencies of abiword that it
 actually has and in your case you're missing one. Check the -lx
 lines (libraries) if something is obviously not yet installed. I don't
 really know which library is supposed to provide those missing
 functions, and searching for them doesn't make lot of sense - I guess
 new and delete aren't very typical for one certain library...

It sounds, from what Richard Fish has said, as if libstdc++ is the culprit, 
and I do have that installed.  I have also been having the same kind of error 
with some other ebuilds, some of which had also worked fine in the past, 
which is another reason to believe abiword itself isn't the problem.  
Couldn't find anything weird beginning -l in the emerge stdout/stderr.

 Have you got some old .h header files lying around
 in /usr/local/include? This might totally mess up things, as well as
 duplicate libraries (of different versions) in /usr/lib
 and /usr/local/lib.

Nope.  Nothing like that.  Only stuff to do with audio processing and a couple 
of other obscure things.  But both you and Richard agree that multiple 
installed library versions may be the problem.  That certainly sounds 
plausible to me.

Many thanks
Robert

 Yes, I have a similar problem, but bash-completion doesn't work
 correctly for anybody (user or su root).

 I uncommented the bash completion command in both ~/.bashrcs long ago,
 and at first the problem was only for root (which was weird enough); now
 (what constitutes 'now' as opposed to 'previously' I don't know) if I
 hit tab when filling in a path or a filename, as you said, nothing
 happens; if I fill in the rest of the path manually, the file is not
 found-- because my use of the TAB key has invisibly taken me up one
 directory (where the file does not exist). When I hit enter, I find that
 if I had started in /usr/local/src, I am now in /usr/local, for example.

 This occurs under various terminals (aterm, gnome-terminal,
 multi-gnome-terminal, xterm), although bash-completion fails differently
 under each of them (which is also weird). I know something has changed,
 but not what.

 Although now that I'm looking into this (which I had not really
 taken time to do, so I wasn't really 'worrying' about it as I had put
 this annoyance on my secondary 'to-do/fix' list, despite the fact that
 it's a major annoyance) I notice that I have both bash-completion and
 bash-completion-config installed-- and the man
 page for bash-completion-config says that the config files are in
 /etc/bashcomp-configrc, if it exists, or $HOME/.bashcomp-configrc, if it
 exists.

 So at least I probably need to check there first to see if
 bash-completion has in fact been set, since there is no mention of
 ~/.bashrc and perhaps those settings are now invalid, or in conflict.

 Something for you to check as well, Mark?

However it will not complete for /usr, /bin or /var:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls /us
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls /bi
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls /var

This seems almost like a permissions issue. However I can cd /usr/src,
I just cannot bash complete it:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cd /usr/src
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

your root directory should NOT have these perms.

try:

# chmod 0755 /

Thanks Billy. That appears to have solved my issue.

I wonder how it ever got that way? I don't know what a trailing 't'
even means, much less put it there on purpose!

Anyway, thanks!

Well, you have been tinkering with things lately. It's possible you ran 
an funky install script that had a space between a pathname / var/tmp.


To be safe, try installing one of the root kit checkers in portage and 
scan your system.

[gentoo-user] Re: [OT] Moving system from single-disk to RAID-1 configuration

Hi,

I have a setup Gentoo on a Box with a onboard ATA Raid controller
(Promise PDC20265 FastTrak100 Lite/Ultra100). At the moment I am only
using one ATA-Disk on this controller (this is the only disk in the
system). Now I want to add a second Disk to this system and setup a
RAID-1 configuration. Can someone point me to a good HOWTO or
something similar which describes how to setup this
(grub/lilo/dm/...) on a 2.6 kernel.

Regards,

Many howtos mix raidtools and mdadm, this one [1] IMO is much clear.

At the moment I'm running a system with a RAID1 for /boot and another
RAID1 for root, and a LVM2 on top of a RAID5 for everything else. [3]

The most difficult thing was making disc naming sticky, I have a ASUS
A8V with a Via and a Promise controller, and the disk naming was so
sloppy that if sda failed all other disks were renamed to accommodate
in the free namespace, not at all reliable!
See [2].

In the end, after udev fine tuning, I managed to build a degraded array
of 4 disks using 3 discs (the RAID1 for /boot was built with 3 of 3
from the start) using instruction and suggestion in [1], no need
for /etc/raidtab!

A livecd that recognizes your hardware and has mdadm, lvm... is an
invaluable rescue tool, test it before all.
