Re: [gentoo-user] app-admin/system-config-printer-gnome-1.3.12 not building

Its bottom line says it was impossible to download : http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd; , which I've succeeded to download using wget with no extra parameters. Any hints? Answering late to this post since nobody else has. AFAIK the DTD files should never get downloaded. Instead they should've been installed automatically by your favourite $PACKAGEMANGLER from a dependency of that GNOME package. Then the local copy should be automatically used. Try emerge -1 app-text/docbook-xml-dtd:4.1.2 then retry whatever you were doing. This should re-install and re-register the 4.1.2 DTDs. If it doesn't work then at least you hopefully get new error messages pointing towards the real cause behind the broken DTD catalog. (You could also have a look into the files inside /etc/xml and /etc/sgml, especially the file named catalog. I think I remember a case where one person or his system had somehow cleared the local DTD registry.) -- Arttu V.
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: perl versioning problem, how to get beyond for @world
It looks like the @INC list (the directory list perl uses for finding
its modules) is not right or is not processed right. Only one
directory is looked into? (You can see @INC with perl -V, it should
be up to about ten directories on a Gentoo install.)

You should note that the portage part is wrong as well. The path should be something like /var/db/gentoo-official-tree or some such to absolve the historical package manager dependence evident in the name. The dependency on a single PM has been gone for a long time now. Also, while we're at it, the locally installed packages' directory (/var/db/pkg) isn't too informative as a name, and should also be renamed, e.g., into /var/db/gentoo-installed-pkgs. IIRC this or some part of this made it all the way up to the Gentoo Council some years ago as it was related to Some Big Important Things about next version of PMS and package managers' behaviour. I'm too lazy to pick through the Councils' notes and logs and devlist archives to check if my memory serves me right and/or what the resolution was. But some educated guesses could be made on the basis of the fact that the tree still sits at /usr/portage. I'm not holding my breath while waiting for these cosmetic changes. -- Arttu V.

Thus, the new one received next in sequence (eth1), and will receive it forevermore until you edit the automatically created udev rules.

Could you try also copying the mozcoreconf-2.eclass to your local overlay's eclass/ subdir, and edit it there to suite your taste? I tried but no luck. I think I'll try building manually and see what happens. Sorry, I went after the wrong eclass. Apparently www-client/firefox compiles just a shell of an application (front-end, mostly written in XUL and JS?) when the real stuff is in net-libs/xulrunner. And xulrunner's ebuilds use mozconfig-3.eclass instead. Another thing I noticed about mozilla's build system is that one *must* remove the enabling from the eclass(es) due to the way mozilla's configure checks for these settings. If you have both --enable-pango and --disable-pango in .mozconfig then enable will override. And since Gentoo moz* eclasses will automatically force several enabling lines into .mozconfig, it's useless to add --disable-foo later on (e.g., in the ebuild). The change has to be made in the eclass(es). Thus equipped, I copied both mozconfig-3.eclass and mozcoreconf-2.eclass over to a local overlay, modified their hardcoded --enable-pango statements into --disable-pango's, re-emerged both packages (xulrunner, firefox), and now about:buildconfig shows among other things: snip Configure arguments --enable-application=xulrunner --enable-optimize --disable-installer --disable-pedantic --enable-crypto --with-system-jpeg --with-system-zlib --disable-updater --disable-pango --disable-svg --enable-system-cairo --disable-strip --disable-strip-libs --disable-install-strip /snip There it is, --disable-pango.

Ok, I see they're shipping the same version which is available from
CPAN as the dev version (2.00.99_3). But the patch is still not made
for its code ... maybe it is for _2 or _1?
The patch keeps failing out of the box:

Anyway, only three files' small chunks fail from the patch, and
they're short and mostly just semantically adding some formerly
non-existent subroutines and changing the return values of others.
I think with some manual labour we could turn that patch into a fixed
regular patch, which we could then apply in an ebuild for SOAP::WSDL
via a USE flag. For example, something along these lines for
dev-perl/SOAP-WSDL-2.00.99.3.ebuild (licenses etc might be wrong):
# Copyright 1999-2010 Gentoo Foundation

SLOT=0
KEYWORDS=amd64 x86
IUSE=adwords
src_prepare() {
perl-module_src_prepare
use adwords epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PV}-adwords.patch
}
This SOAP-WSDL package could then in turn be made a dependency for
your real google-adwords package (dev-perl/Google-Adwords?):
RDEPENDS=dev-perl/SOAP-WSDL[adwords]
Am I making any sense?
Theoretically (if you insist), you could still use the perl's
Text::Patch route as well, but (if I'm not entirely wrong, see the
excerpted attempted patch run above) the patch would still need to be
touched up to match properly with the _3 dev release code. And it
would add a dependency to Text::Patch, and make an odd call to perl in
the middle of the ebuild. (I assume it must be made explicitly as I
don't know if perl-module.eclass has any automation for this. Probably
not since AFAICT Text::Patch isn't even installed by default).

I think, the system is quite heavy in size, isn't it? I really would like to be able to shrink it down but not loosing functionality. Now I'm looking for tips to reduce disk consumption further. I've already cleaned /usr/portage/distfiles. I read that removing the whole /usr/portage after setting up the system is not a good idea. Is that true? May be someone could recommend a better window manager (smaller in size, stable)? I really appreciate any kind of recommendation to this topic. Advice given so far seems to assume that you only have this one system. But if you have another system that can take care of compiling and building binary pkgs then you can probably slice off the 50MB+ or more out of gcc, autotools, and such as well. In effect, turning Gentoo into your very own, private binary distro. As already mentioned, the embedded folks probably know this intimately. Also, see the portage man page for defining your own system set (without, e.g., gcc and autoconf), and man page of emerge for option --buildpkg (and also other --*pkg* options of emerge).

I guess grub will be overwritten by gentoo but will it contain the options to boot arch kernel images automatically? I really dont wanna mess up grub. You'll minimize your grub configuration work and pretty much neutralize any risk to your currently installed OSes by testing and trying out Gentoo in a virtualized system. For example VirtualBox is freely available and takes only a few mouse clicks to configure a virtual machine specifically suitable for Gentoo (or Ubuntu, or Linux Mint, or Fedora, or OpenSUSE, or ...), then you just attach the CD ISO to the virtual machine (clickety-click, 3 clicks if it's on the Desktop?), and boot (doubleclick). Next you do the install, which in Gentoo's case means following the Gentoo Handbook. You can keep important tools like irc-client, your favourite search engine and Gentoo Handbook browser window running in the host OS, jumping between the host and guest with a single mouse click and right ctrl key to get back. And that's just using the default settings out of the box. Try it out once. It hooked me after the 15 minutes it took to make the first virtual image (and that's where I read all the labels and options). Naturally, YMMV. -- Arttu V.

And all this without -uDN options for emerge (nor revdep-rebuilds), so he really gets a fully mixed-up bag of untested combinations. And then it all backfired on him ... probably his ancient python from the stage3 tarball got bumped to a later version anyway, and thus all python-related packages would sorely need re-emerging, i.e., running python-updater or a manual emerge ...

So, also check the owner of libarchive.la, and clean up if necessary. Actually, since you seem to run a great risk of having more than one orphan .la-file then maybe you should do something like find /usr -name '*.la' | xargs -r equery belongs or some such generic flush-out of orphaned .la files. -- Arttu V.

Is this a symptom of a bigger problem? Probably not, unless running Gentoo is considered a big problem. :) You can read many things about the problems of dynamic vs static linking from, e.g., flameeyes' blog. Please check (if you are still interested in hunting down the cause). Sure, and I really appreciate the gentoo community help.

You should probably only end up with that la file if you have USE=static-libs for libarchive -- which (if I'm reading correctly the paludis output attached in the bug) you do not have currently enabled. That's correct. Should I enable static-libs and recompile libarchive? I don't think so, but I don't know what your system is for. If the box currently runs without the static libs then I'd guess you don't need them. I think you might want to hear a third opinion, if someone else has one to lend. But since you have the libarchive.la file on your system you may have had the USE flag enabled at one point, or the ebuild may have changed to allow separate dynamic and static building while your package manager might not have kept up with its records. Ok, if that's the case I will report it to the paludis developers.

Listing files in the image directory shows all the five liblzmadec.* files (or symlinks) that would get installed. If you don't have lzma-utils on your system anymore then erase /usr/lib64/liblzmadec.la by hand and run revdep-rebuild -ip again and see if it's clean.

If it couldn't find pkg-config it would still complete configure phase without errors -- but cflags and libs variables that were supposed to be filled with various `pkg-config --libs foo` outputs were in fact filled with the paths from which pkg-config was searched for (in vain) during configuration.

revdep-rebuild -p -L /usr/lib64/libjpeg.so.7

/usr/lib64/libjpeg.so.7 AND /usr/lib64/libjpeg.so.8

But how to find out these intermediate libraries which depend

I don't know why you wouldn't want to fix the kde3 overlay part ASAP,

ls /usr/lib64/*.so | xargs -r scanelf -BF%n | grep 'libjpeg\.so\.7' |

So, unless someone gets a better idea, I'd try to emerge the properly functioning version of the package, and then mark it provided: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3chap=5#doc_chap3 -- Arttu V.

I realized the same as I was reading portage man page about that file. It requires explicit versions for the provided packages, and that makes my suggestion a non-working one. But then I just noticed this in your first email: so I added it to packages.mask. I assume that's just a typo in the email? That file has no s (plural) before the dot, and if you create one with an s, I think it will just be silently ignored. -- Arttu V.

Running `file` on it shows it to be a Microsoft Office Document, but it's apparently not the kind you can open in Word. I suspect this is going to prove a dead loss. Thanks for your help, though. Throwing a wild guess here. Could it be a MODI object? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MODI Then you have entered captive markets, might be hard to do much without software from MS. -- Arttu V.

Let me correct you there: The experienced old hands here almost uniformly do not have such problems. It's the n00bs who don't grok portage just yet, or don't know to look inside ebuilds when the ebuild goes wonky, who have such problems. The classic cause of problems is mixing stable and testing I think Mr. Webb might be running his gentoo systems like they were some Slackware boxes. I sure run mine like they were Windows/Red Hat/Ubuntu mongrels. Praise the FSM and his noodly appendages for live cds, for times when installs go bad! :) Dependency management is left up to the sysadmin, and that's the way we like it.

I recall one being that way but not sure if it is this one. No, that was a while ago. This is simply a conflict involving e2fsprogs-libs Doesn't remove wget Well, I think Mr. Dalek is entirely correct, this is the same problem. e2fsprogs-libs nowadays contains the com_err library, missing of which was (IIRC) causing problems with, e.g., wget in the olden days. Anyone know how the problem was actually fixed? Did they start linking wget statically? Or are we relying on portage's new tricks, like background downloading, which hides 99% of the problem under the rug, as you will very likely have the sources already downloaded during previous compiles? -- Arttu V.
Re: [gentoo-user] Valve Steam on gentoo

I am using wine 1.1.32 with the engine itself and the games all downloaded to gentoo's partition (not the ntfs3g problem). Steam itself loads fine, but when I click launch the game nothing happens. This is very said because Steam is the only reason why I still have to deal with Windows :( Any ideas? You have probably already seen this bug and checked if it matches your problem: http://bugs.gentoo.org/230962 What a lucky discovery the last commenter made there. -- Arttu V.
