Re: [gentoo-user] Re: make of gentoo-sources-3.2.12 fails [SOLVED]
Hi all, I promised to tell you when I cracked this nasty little problem of mine, though it's somewhat embarrassing for me: in short, don't put shell scripts called ld or cc in your /usr/local/bin. I had an ld script to give me lists of directories in a certain format and then forgot about its existence, until I had the happy idea to type 'ld' on the command line to see what would happen. at least now I know that I've really grown old. again, thank you for all your efforts to help me. kind regards, michael

Re: [gentoo-user] Problems lua/luarocks

From the lua mailing list I got the information, that luarocks normall installs lua module/packages/rocks below /usr/local ... a place lua will look for, when adviced to use a certain module. With Gentoo, luarocks was fixed to install below /usr/lib64/lua/luarocks/lib/luarocks/rocks but lua wasn't instructed to do the same. Regardless what rocks I am installing, lua won't find it. So what can I do to fix that? Thank you very much for any help in advance! Best regards, mcc I built a simple module, called by a likewise simple program. after some searching around I found that by setting LUA_PATH with export LUA_PATH=/usr/lib64/lua/luarocks/share/lua/5.1/?.lua; I succeeded in running program + module. I don't know, though, wether this works in more complicated projects, but you might give it a try. If it works, you should set LUA_CPATH too (if you want to include C-modules). regards, michael

Are you editing the config by hand or are you using menuconfig or some such tool? If editing by hand maybe one thing is enabled but something else it needs is not. Still thinking. Dale :-) :-) Same result as ever. I use make nconfig, which is somewhat easier to navigate around. Only once I tried to manually change .config, because revdep-rebuild wanted to rebuild sys-fs/udisks, which complained about CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND not being set, but a silent make oldconfig removed the line automatically. I did the change manually because CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND doesn't seem to exist in 3.2.12. Anyway, thank you for thinking about it. regards, michael

in my opinion it isn't. with top posting I see the newest message immidiately, while otherwise I need page through sometimes huge amounts of mostly obsolete comments. where it's possible, I put my messages on top, and I've found more than once forum-rules that require or at least recommend top posting. but I garantee that I will get flames, why I do this and urge me to change my habits. obviously this is an ingrained habit on gentoo-users, but from now on I'm going follow my habits and damn the flames. regards michael -- Michael Scherer Univ.klinik f.

Yes, all of those. Other ebuilds run without troubles. That's what makes this failed kernel build all the more mysterious. I've run out of options. Maybe a new kernel release will help, but I need my box and the tweaks to .config, and I don't want to wait, especially as I fear things might not go better even then. regards michael -- Michael Scherer Univ.klinik f.

Re: [gentoo-user]How can i remove the xfce clearly?
not dangerous. only you need to look carefully at what depclean wants to delete. as gentoo says, in some cases it could break dependencies needed by other software and to avoid damage you should run revdep-rebuild, which scans all dependecies and reinstalls them if it finds something is missing. I use both regularly, especially after an emerge --update world and never had any real trouble with it. hope this eases your concerns a bit michael -- Michael Scherer Univ.klinik f.

So i want to remove it and install the Gnome . How can i remove the xfce clearly ? -- Gnome and Xfce share many libraries. Therefore it is best to install Gnome first, before removing Xfce. Otherwise you will remove libraries which you will later re-emerge for Gnome. Then you need to configure your display manager (kdm, gdm, xdm) to use Gnome instead of Xfce. Kdm and Gdm should allow you to do that directly on the login screen. When you are satisfied with Gnome, edit /var/lib/portage/world and remove every line containing an Xfce package. Then run `emerge -av --depclean` and you are done. You could continue to remove config files but that is usually not worth the trouble. Hope this helps, Florian Philipp Do I understand you correctly that it is not necessary to run emerge -unmerge first before removing the atoms from @world and running emerge --depclean? Terry Yes. I think it is also mentioned in the gentoo handbook. In fact, you should not use --unmerge because it doesn't check dependencies before removing the package. If you want to delete a package only if no other package depends on it, either remove it from world or use `emerge -av --depclean package_name`. The latter has the advantage of also telling you what depends on it. Regards, Florian Philipp -- 好好学习，天天向上！！！
