[gentoo-user] Cron, bash, and java interacting badly?

I have a java (clojure, actually) program which is invoked via a bash script. When the script is invoked from the shell, the java program always runs and succeeds. However, when the script is invoked via a cron job, the java program always runs and crashes with a null pointer exception. Any

[gentoo-user] emerging gentoo-sources failing due to file collisions

per Helmut Jarausch: rm -rf /usr/src/linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r6 followed by re-emerge of gentoo-sources-2.6.31-r6 worked! Thanks, Helmut P.S. The mystery remains how those conflicting files got there in the first place. Certainly not by any conscious act on my part. But, at this point I don't really

[gentoo-user] [Solved] install consistently fails to create work (sub)directory

The executable /usr/bin/install was somehow hosed. Extracted a new /usr/bin/install from tarball retrieved from http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/default-linux.
