[gentoo-user] Building mod_php-5.0.4; checking for dbminit
Hi List- I'm trying to build mod_php-5.0.4 with an ebuild script that is a copy of the one in portage for version 5.0.3. I've got it in my portage overlay and I've adjusted the patch files and so forth to get it working. As far as the ebuild goes, I'm pretty sure everything is fine. The trouble is, in building, the configure script fails at: checking whether to enable DBA... yes checking for QDBM support... no checking for gdbm_open in -lgdbm... yes checking for GDBM support... yes checking for NDBM support... no checking for db4 minor version and patch level... ok checking for Berkeley DB4 support... yes checking for Berkeley DB3 support... no checking for Berkeley DB2 support... no checking for dbminit in -ldbm... no checking for dbminit in -lc... no checking for dbminit in -lgdbm... no configure: error: DBA: Could not find necessary library. !!! Please attach the config.log to your bug report: !!! /var/tmp/portage/mod_php-5.0.4/work/php-5.0.4/config.log Now, on a very similar server, I did successfully build mod_php-5.0.4 in the same way as I'm attempting to do here. The ebuild script is identical, the missing-arches patch file is present but has no content (on both servers). On this server, the configure script sails through this part with the following output: checking whether to enable DBA... yes checking for QDBM support... no checking for gdbm_open in -lgdbm... yes checking for GDBM support... yes checking for NDBM support... no checking for db4 minor version and patch level... ok checking for Berkeley DB4 support... yes checking for Berkeley DB3 support... no checking for Berkeley DB2 support... no checking for dbminit in -ldbm... no checking for dbminit in -lc... yes checking for DBM using GDBM... no checking for DBM support... yes checking for CDB support... builtin checking for INI File support... builtin checking for FlatFile support... builtin checking whether to enable DBA interface... yes The difference is that on the second (successful mod_php-5.0.4 build) server, the config script finds dbminit in -lc (glibc right?), but on the first server, it doesn't find dbminit in any of the places it looks. I can't figure out what the difference is here. Am I being thick-headed or something? The two machines do have different glibc versions, but the first machine (fails to build mod_php) has a newer glibc version: machine 1 (fails):glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1 machine 2 (succeeds): glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1 They were both built using the same USE flags: machine 1: byron root # emerge -av glibc These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

[gentoo-user] Apache2 + PHP
Hi all,
For some time now I'm struggling with Apache and PHP. After an upgrade from
Apache, the one that changed all the locations of the config-files, I can't get
PHP to work.
My first problem was that with every .php file I got the download request. I
already did and tried so many that I'm now stuck on this one.
Apache2 has detected a syntax error in your configuration files:
Syntax error on line 6 of /usr/lib/apache2/conf/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf:
Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server:
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory
When looking at that directory and file I see that the file does not exist, but
70_mod_php4.conf does. Strange thing about it is, I can't remember to have
emerged php4. Only every existing version of php5.
When doing an etcat I get this :
[ Results for search key : php ]

RE: [gentoo-user] NPTL or not on AMD 1800+ desktop
What do you think. Will I get better performance if I turn on NPTL on a AMD 1800+ Athlon XP 512MB RAM. I use this machine for desktop purposes. KDE, XMMS, Firefox, Tvtime, Kdevelop, Wesnoth, K3B, some audio- video recording and so on. NPTL performs better than the legacy linuxthreads, so yes use NPTL. Most of the packages that you listed will take advantage of threads (qt relies on threads and, since kde is built on top of qt, it will be used). Those apps that do not use threads will not see much (if any) advantage of threads (unless the underlying libraries they depend upon take advantage of them). So in general, yes you should have thread support on your system (especially any processor PIII or newer), and should have NPTL at least. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

No. See, there're two possibilities here. Possibility the first: the optimised code works on amd64. In this case, it's used on amd64 no matter what, since there aren't any amd64 chips that don't have the extra optimisations. So, no USE flag. Possibility the second. the optimised code is x86-specific and won't work on amd64. In this case, it's never used on amd64, and you don't want a USE flag to turn it on since it'll break. So, these USE flags aren't relevant. Unfortunately, amd64 wasn't around when they first came up, so we didn't give them a better name. Now, if at some point in the future, an amd64 chip comes along with some extra fancy optimisations (say sse4 or whatever), we'll have to have an sse4 USE flag added which *will* be enabled on amd64.

Does all in-portage applications support NPTL, or some apps will fail to compile, or will be slower cause of the miss of linuxthreads, or what? There's no 'end-user' difference. The two implementations are supposed to be API-compatible, but there are some known apps that have issues with NPTL (don't ask me what they are, but I'm sure someone here knows what they might be) which is why both are normally installed/built by default under gentoo. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Gnome 2.10 bluetooth
Hi I have just installed Gnome 2.10 (in Gentoo box) and before that I was using Gnome 2.8 and I was able to right click in any file and send it via bluetooth , but now I don't see the item send via bluetooth anymore is this a problem in my installation or it's not exist any more in Gnome 2.10 ? Another questions : 1, Is there any way to list all the gnome-vfs addresses in my machine ? 2. Anyone know when Gnome 2.10 will be marked as stable in Gentoo ? -- Best Regards, -*- If Linux doesn't have the solution, you have the wrong problem -*- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
