All I can say is crap, and crap.

I wanted to exclude certain files to go onto a http server, one that does not 
support any languages other than shoving html back out.  So, if a link to say, 
file.php was hit, there is a chance the raw source would be served.  They only 
wanted images and .htm and .html.

Yes, there probably is a password or two in these files.

I used ^foo and was relying on my idea of find being case-i.

Thanks for pointing this out, now I have to go and hope they did not put the 
files up yet, and correct this. Then again, I was asked to do this, and just 
thought it safer, so if it blows up, I guess I could correct it then, gonna try 
and correct it ahead of time for them though.

Thanks again for pointing this out.

"^abc" isn't a valid glob and shouldn't work (and doesn't):


$ cd $(port dir zlib)
$ find . -name ^P
$ find . -name P
$ find . -name P*
./Portfile


"find" is case-sensitive with the -name option and case-insensitive with the 
-iname option.


$ find . -name Portfile
./Portfile
$ find . -name portfile
$ find . -iname portfile
./Portfile

Well, that is just plain weird, I never knew that.  I have always fed it 
regular expressions, the only thing that I ever really picked up on being 
different was the case insensitive aspect, which I liked.  I was pretty sure 
there would be a way to over-ride the case-i aspects anyway.

But I have fed it the usual ^abc and other basic expressions, and they always 
seemed to work.  I guess since dealing with file names is rather simple, I 
never thought they were glob patterns.

Then again, just today, I should have looked into it, as as basic OR regex was 
not working, and I had to pile up a bunch of -name commands.

True, but any file the user is expected to edit, such as a configuration file, 
should not show up in "port contents". (If it does, it is a bug in the port.) 
Sample configuration files, however, if there are any, would show up.

Actually, "find" takes a glob pattern; regular expression syntax is different 
from glob syntax.

Anything that MacPorts installed can be located with `port contents portname` 
on the command line.  In your case, it would be `port contents gnuplot` I 
believe.  That will list every file that MacPorts installed for that particular 
portfile.  Substitute any port name you desire, as long as the port has been 
installed.

If at install time gnuplot printed messages, perhaps explaining about the 
location of a config file, you can sometimes get to see them again with `port 
notes portname`.  I just looked, and gnuplot does not have notes added to it 
yet.

Looking at the portfile, it does appear that some files are in:
/opt/local/share/doc/gnuplot
and a pdf that may answer your questions at:
/opt/local/share/doc/gnuplot/gnuplot.pd

There is probably a README file or other instructions as well.

Of course, there are also non ports based commands, like `locate` and `find`.  
If you know the name of the file you are looking for, a `sudo find /opt/local 
-name "the-filename-pattern"` where "the-filename-pattern" can be a regular 
expression, so to find all ini files, it would be "*.ini" or just look for the 
exact filename "gnuplot.ini" ( `sudo find /opt/local -name "gnuplot.ini"` )

I hope that helps.  I have never installed gnuplot, so a lot of this is general 
application of MacPorts and other shell commands to your scenario.

2010-03-31 Thread Pau
Hi,

I figured out the problem.

In the default fvwmrc file that's provided with the installation of
fvwm in macports the paths are wrong.

In this particular case, it should read:

ModulePath /opt/local/bin/

instead of

ModulePath /usr/lib/X11/fvwm

The path for icons etc is also wrong:

PixmapPath /usr/include/X11/pixmaps/
IconPath   /usr/include/X11/bitmaps/

This is even worse, because these pixmaps and bitmaps do not exist in macports

If some of the maintainers could at least fix the path for ModulePath,
that would be great.

There are many instances for examples of fvwmrc ... in all of the the
path is wrong

Cheers,

Pau

If you mean the py26-matplotlib port, the only ticket I see filed about it is:

firefox-x11 & matplotlib

2010-03-31 Thread Pau
Hello,

sorry for the spamming... I have too many questions because I am in
the process of migrating to macosx after many years of OpenBSD

I have seen that firefox-x11 fails at building when getting to
xulrunner, as in this ticket:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21477

Six months ago jeremyhu said that "You will need to have some patience
and let the upstream devs work on the problem"

I was wondering whether there has been some progress or what the plans are.

Also, regarding matplotlib, I would like to ask the same question. I
try to used macosx some five weeks ago and I had to install it by
resorting to that superpack but I would like to ask whether macports
has it now up and running. A colleague said that it is not working. Is
that right?

launching gnome fails

2010-03-31 Thread Pau
Hello,

after the problem with fvwm, I have now tried to install gnome.

I installed the metapackage and everything ran smooth. Then I follow
the indications here:

https://trac.macports.org/wiki/GNOME

But I get a window protesting:

"There is a problem with the configuration server:
(/opt/local/libexec/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 2)"

And then

"Could not connect to session bus: Not enough memory"

and

"Could not acuire name on session bus"

I have tried launching the dbus-launch gnome-session, but that makes X
start (I am running full-screen) and after a second it closes.

This is my script:

gumby% cat ~/.xinitrc.d/90-gnome.sh
#!/bin/sh
# make the freedesktop menu entries work
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/local/share
export XDG_DATA_HOME=/opt/local/share
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/opt/local/etc/xdg

# enable sound
export ESPEAKER=localhost

# use GNOME's window manager
#exec quartz-wm &

exec metacity &

# start GNOME
exec /opt/local/bin/gnome-session
#exec /opt/local/bin/dbus-launch /opt/local/bin/gnome-session
