This happens when you have built php against an older version of postgresql.
Current libpq version is 5.

Re: [gentoo-user] Any advice on using postgresql-{base,server} ebuilds?
Found it. The clue was the libpq.so.4, which as Dirk said, was from an older postgresql build. I wondered why my postgres kept reporting version 4 rather than the 5 I had installed, and searched the build logs. It seems that the library information is reported by pg_config, and that my /usr/bin/pg_config was left over from the old install and not deleted/clobbered by eselect-postgresql. An eselect postgresql reset-all / set-all / update got me back in action.

I tried to use Moto4lin a year back with my Verizon phone, and it seems that Verizon turns off some built-in configuration options for the phone that allows connection to the computer unless you buy one of their special connection bundle things with your plan. With regards to the mini-card, what I did was put the card in the phone first, turn on the phone, and the phone will set up a default directory structure on the mini-card. If I take the memory card out and use an adapter to connect to the computer, I can access the pictures, the videos, and stored MP3s in their respective folders. (I can copy mp3s to an from the memory card, the videos and photos from the memory card. I have not tried putting videos and photos ONto the card, but it should be possible.) What I cannot do is access the ring-tones. I do not know if this is a restriction from the phone manufacturer (motorola) or from the firmware installed by Verizon. None of the files I put into the ring-tone folder gets recognized. Also, I remember reading something about moto4lin working better for gsm version of the phones than the cdma versions.

Please, could someone give me hint where > I have to start to fix it? The volume keys are not "standard" per se, which is why they often don't work out of the box. I have not figured out a way to have them work in CLI, but you can get them to work in X, using one of the following two ways. 1) emerge xbindkeys Read the documentation on xbindkeys to see how to write a configuration file. On my Dell Latitude D600, the keycodes for the volume keys are: Volume up 176 Volume down 174 Mute/unmute 160 So in your ~/.xbindkeysrc, you can write a line like - "amixer sset PCM +1" m:0x0 + c:176 --- and change your command and keycode appropriately. Lastly you need to start xbindkeys. I usually have it start in my ~/.xinitrc before the WM. But you can also just add it to the list of programs automatically run by your WM on startup. 2) I think this way is probably better, but the last I tried I couldn't get it to play well with e16, which is why I mention the previous method. This method works with at least fvwm, and probably most other WMs. emerge xmodmap (if it is not installed already) add the following lines to ~/.xmodmaprc keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute -- and make sure to start xmodmap when you start your X (again, either by starting xmodmap in ~/.xinitrc or in your WM). I believe some modern WMs will automagically tie the XF86Audio* keys to appropriate mixer commands to raise or lower volume. If not (as in the case of fvwm), you need to edit the keybinding for those keys, and how to do this depends on your Window Manager of choice.

I use AT&T but the phone is unlocked and will work with whatever it is compatible with it. Just change out the simm card thingy. I did find out that you can just transfer them over to the card after putting the card in the phone and doing a power up. It works well. One thing I have found out, you have to transfer the mp3s to the phone then you can set them as a ring tone. The option to do that is not there until it is on the phone. I sort of think that defeats the whole point of having the extra memory but it is the way it is. I think I'm getting the hang of the thing now tho. I am finally getting use to the space key being on the left instead of the right on my old phone. ;-) Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
[gentoo-user] strange entries in messages
About a week ago I noticed a couple entries in /var/log/messages (as reported by logwatch) that seemed odd. They have appeared a couple times since, but they don't appear at the same time in the logfile, but I think they happen on the same day. One of the entries is a Usage: message from dhcp, as though something tried to restart the DHCP server. The other is "Re-execs of init: 1 times". I found some references to this on the 'net, but generally when discussing prelink. I don't have prelink installed, though. I've checked the log file and nothing interesting happens just before or just after these messages. I can't find any mention of dhcp or init in any of the cron files or logrotate files that might be starting it. There are no entries in /var/spool/cron/crontabs that might be doing it.

[gentoo-user] chroot complain not able to find file/directory when it's actually there
Hello. Sorry for stupid newbie question: # cp /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/sh # chroot /usr/local /bin/sh chroot: cannot run command `/bin/sh': No such file or directory In theory it should work, right? This is the first time I run chroot not for rescuing a broken system (which means /dev/ and /proc/ are not mounted in chroot jail). However I guess /dev/ and /proc/ doesn't have to be mounted to run chroot. I am sure this is not because the executable is dynamically linked to a file outside of the chroot jail, because I also tried to run executables compiled with USE=static What could be the reason (for complaining an existing file "No such file")? Thanks in advance. Using coreutils-6.10-r2 on ibook/ppc
Re: [gentoo-user] dhcp and re-exec of init in log file
It might be helpful to post the EXACT error messages. I doubt if I'm able to help, but it seems to me that posting without them may be one of those people-may-tend-to-ignore-your-message mistakes.

One of the entries is a Usage: message from dhcp, as though something tried to restart the DHCP server. The other is "Re-execs of init: 1 times". I found some references to this on the 'net, but generally when discussing prelink. I don't have prelink installed, though. ...

Using coreutils-6.10-r2 on ibook/ppc Do this: a...@nazgul ~ $ ls -al /bin/sh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Nov 24 09:58 /bin/sh -> bash sh is a symlink to bash. You do not have bash inside your chroot, and that is the file that is not being found. You must also run ldd on bash, see all the libs it links to and copy those as well into the chroot -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
