Sorry I don't know why your download is all borked (try changing mirrors)-- but I can tell you that 1). Portage is not trying to download an ebuild when you're actually emerging a program; it's trying to download the source tarball for that program in order to compile it; 2) Any ebuild should not be found in /usr/portage/distfiles-- it should be found in /usr/portage/cag-egory/package_name. What you find in /usr/portage/distfiles are the tarballs containing the downloaded source code. So if you've put an ebuild in /usr/portage/distfiles, get rid of it. It has no business being in that particular folder. is there a manual way to install this package and in general any package that can`t be emerged traditionally? Yes, download the source code tarball manually (in this case, glib-2.6.3.tar.bz2), and place it in /usr/portage/distfiles. Portage won't try to download the tarball if it finds that its already been downloaded. Hope this helps somewhat, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I understand now about not using /usr/portage for personal work or off the wall administration.

Alan For personnal stuff, you should really use /home/user/some-directory. I have two places for mine; /home/dale/Desktop/Documents and /mnt/data.

When you write an application for Unix, you will usually use variouslibraries.For example, if you write a KDE application, you need touse (called linking) the KDE libraries to integrate with the environment.For example, /usr/kde/3.5/lib/libkparts.so is a basicKDE library.Now, with gcc, you need to specify all libraries that your applicationwill link against, including dependencies.If you miss one, you will have unresolved functions, and the build will fail.But if you lookat the output of ldd /usr/kde/3.5/lib/libkparts.so, you will seethat it depends upon more than one dozen other libraries (if you don't have KDE 3.5, it isn't hard to find a library with a similar issue).The problem however is that the list of required libraries can changefrom one system to the next.Differences in architecture,configurations, and optional dependency features result in an unmanageable list of dependant libraries.This can be partially managed by configure tricks.You will sometimessee configure scripts doing things like does -lX11 require-lXdmcp...yes and so on.While possible, this still requires a great deal of effort on the part of the developer to account for all of thedifferent possibilities, and the level of effort increasesexponentially with the number of possible dependencies...Contrast that with a libtool enabled build, the developer only has to link against those libraries the application actually uses (likelibkparts.so), and libtool will figure out all of the otherdependencies and the actual gcc arguments required to successfullylink the program. Sticking with my libkparts.so example, looking at my/usr/kde/3.5/lib/libkparts.la, we find the following two lines (alongwith others):dlname='libkparts.so.2'dependency_libs=' -R/usr/kde/3.5/lib -R/usr/qt/3/lib -R/usr/X11R6/lib /usr/kde/3.5/lib/libkio.la -L/usr/kde/3.5/lib -L/usr/qt/3/lib-L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin-L/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib -L/usr/lib /usr/kde/3.5/lib/libkdeui.la/usr/kde/3.5/lib/libkdesu.la /usr/kde/3.5/lib/libkwalletclient.la /usr/kde/3.5/lib/libkdecore.la /usr/kde/3.5/lib/libDCOP.la -lresolv-lutil /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.la /usr/lib/libidn.la/usr/kde/3.5/lib/libkdefx.la /usr/qt/3/lib/libqt- mt.la -lmng -ljpeg -lXi -lXrender -lXrandr -lXcursor -lXft -lfreetype -lfontconfig -lXext-lX11 -lSM -lICE /usr/lib/libmng.la /usr/lib/libjpeg.la/usr/lib/libjpeg.la /usr/lib/libXi.la /usr/lib/libXrandr.la/usr/lib/libXext.la /usr/lib/libXcursor.la /usr/lib/libXfixes.la /usr/lib/libXft.la /usr/lib/libfontconfig.la /usr/lib/libXrender.la/usr/lib/libfreetype.la /usr/lib/libfontconfig.la/usr/lib/libfreetype.la /usr/lib/libexpat.la -lpng /usr/lib/libXext.la/usr/lib/libX11.la /usr/lib/libSM.la /usr/lib/libICE.la /usr/lib/libICE.la -lpthread /usr/lib/libXrender.la /usr/lib/libX11.la/usr/lib/libXau.la /usr/lib/libXdmcp.la -ldl -lz /usr/lib/libfam.la-lrpcsvc /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/libstdc++.la'The dlname= parameter says that an application that links against libkparts will actually link against libkparts.so.2 (you can seethis in ldd program output).The second parameter is more interesting...it lists gcc flags (the -Rand -L entries), required dependant libraries (the -l options, mng, jpeg, Xi, Xrender, etc), and dependant libtool archives (libmng.la, libjpeg.la, libXi.la, ...).Those dependant archives are examinedin-turn to locate dlname= and dependancy_lib= settings, and eventually a very long gcc command line is built to accomplish the link. Are these changes likely to happen in the future as I do emerge -uDv world from time to time?Yes, as you update gcc versions, switch your system compiler to them (with gcc-config), and prune old versions of gcc.However, upgrades of gcc have to be carefully managed in any case,because if you remove the old version of gcc to early, you can breakpython, and thus portage, and then you are really screwed.See a recent thread about gcc-3.4 being stabilized for a link to the upgradeprocedure.In another posting, you have some .la files that reference.../3.3.6/libstdc++.la.One of those was /usr/lib/libdb_cxx- 4.2.la.So if you build something that wants to link against libdb_cxx-4.2, itwill link against the stdc++ included with gcc 3.3.6, instead of the3.4.4 version.But if you were to prune the old version of gcc, this libtool reference would be

Also, there should be an option somewhere to force your dyndns client to update immediately, but I'd recommend waiting the interval just to make sure that works too. Maybe turn it down to 5 minutes or something to reduce the wait. ;) I've done this, and also had to change the IP in /tmp/ez-ipup, which holds the routers config for the last time IP was changed. After doing these changes, ipdown wan ipup wan recognized that the IP was different, and updated appropriately. Right now I have the following command being run hourly from crontab /usr/sbin/ez-ipupdate -c /etc/ez-ipupdate.conf and that doesn't work if wan hasn't been taken down and back up again, because the ez-ipdupdate script just compares the values in /tmp/ez-ipup file with dyndns, and doesn't account for the actual value shown with ifconfig vlan1. But what doesn't happen, and I think _should_, probably via udhcpc, is that if my satellite modem goes down or changes IP, the router should recognize this fact and automagically reconfigure wan via ipdown and ipup.

Yes, I have tried adjust via global setting, all it is doing is
adjusting this file (I think):
/usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps to:
@ letterSize 8.5in 11in
@ letter 8.5in 11in
@+ %%BeginPaperSize: Letter
@+ letter
@+ %%EndPaperSize
This is the first setting it should be in dvips in order to make page
size letter, there is another part that deals with the margins that
might be overwriting the setting, that file is according to:
http://physics.wm.edu/~norman/latexhints/pdf_papersize.html
called: vmargins.sty
Acording the the link above it should be:
--quote --
%
% DEFAULTS:
%
\setpapersize{A4}
\setmarginsrb{35mm}{20mm}{25mm}{15mm}{12pt}{11mm}{0pt}{11mm}
For example changing this to read:
%
% DEFAULTS:
%
\setpapersize{USletter}
\setmarginsrb{1in}{1in}{1in}{1in}{0pt}{0mm}{0pt}{0mm}
---end quote--
Though it is not the case, the end of the file section that deals with
margins looks like this:
\setpapersize{A4}

\else
\setmarginsrb{35mm}{20mm}{25mm}{15mm}{12pt}{11mm}{0pt}{11mm}%
\fi
-
I've tried to modify that section but it doesn't work, still asking for
A4 paper.
Though, I'm not so sure that the whole mess with paper size has anything
to do with Latex and dvips. It all started when I un-merge KDE and
convert it into kde-split-ebuild.

[gentoo-user] system stopped booting
I'm having a strange problem with a system that we're putting together to be an LDAP-based PDC. I had it all configured and it was working fine. I had to put the project aside for a couple weeks as I had other things to work on and then I came back to it. Since it had been a while, I updated the whole system, updated the configs with etc-update, and I'm pretty sure I rebooted to make sure all was well. About a week later, I booted it and it wouldn't boot. It got stuck at configuring system to use udev and never gets okay. I just sits there for ever. I booted a gentoo live cd as a rescue and found that I could chroot into the broken system and work with it. I tried to rebuild the whole thing, but some emerges (one I remember is udev) would stall. They will only get so far as the initial emerge line and they will sit there for ever. The emerges that fail will always fail. The emerges that succeed will do so build after build. I ran memtest on the RAM and it failed some tests so I thought I'd found the problem. A couple weeks later, I have new RAM for it, but it behaves the same. I am not sure where to go with this one. I'm not sure why it won't build or boot. The system had been running just fine before the update and I *think* it booted after it. However, I realize I might have dorked some config file in /etc, but I am not sure which it might be... If anyone has any suggestions, I'd like to find a way out of this other than reinstalling the system. Such a thing might happen again in the future to a non-development system and I'd like to know the way to get it working again. Thank you. -- -M There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who can count in binary and those who cannot. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Yes, I can adjust the margins on in invoice.tex document, here is what I
have:
\documentclass[letterpaper]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[frame]{xy}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\setlength{\voffset}{0.5cm}
\setlength{\hoffset}{-2.0cm}
\setlength{\topmargin}{0cm}
\setlength{\headheight}{0.5cm}
\setlength{\headsep}{1cm}
\setlength{\topskip}{0pt}
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{1.4cm}
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{1.4cm}
\setlength{\textwidth}{18.2cm}
\setlength{\textheight}{24.5cm}
\setlength{\footskip}{1cm}
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1}
\begin{document}
I can move \setlength{\voffset}{-1.5cm} and the margins will get
adjusted. But that doesn't help me much as when I send the job to a
printer it is still asking for A4 paper size.

The \documentclass scrartcl does not look like any of the standard
latex classes. Does it define paper size or look in some specific
configuration file for paper size? What happens if you replace
scrartcl by a standard class like article?
Roger
The original entry in the form was:
\documentclass[twoside]{scrartcl}
so I've hanged added: [letterpaper] but it didn't work.
Changing scrartcl to article doesn't help either, printer is still
asking for A4 paper size.

Re: [gentoo-user] Optical mouse lights off on kernel 2.6.14 but works on kernel 2.4.30
Raphael Melo de Oliveira Bastos Sales wrote: Hi there, I got a new VCOM optical mouse, model C235-PS2-V. And I'm having problems with it. On Windows XP or with the Linux kernel 2.4.30 (OpenMosix) it works fine. But on linux kernel 2.6.14-r2 (Gentoo Sources), it lights off and stays off unless I halt the system. I believe this is related to udev for two reasons, one because the 2.4 kernel uses devfs unstead of udev, and also because the light goes off when udev is starting. On the dmesg log, there are two entries related to the mouse: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice input: ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse on isa0060/serio1 The mouse buttons work, but when I press any of them, the cursor goes to the top-right corner of the screen and stays there. Does anybody has any idea of what might be wrong, or how to create a udev rule so the mouse device works as in devfs? Thanks for the attention, Raphael Hi, What Option Device parameter in xorg.conf?

Re: [gentoo-user] straggling with paper size
Well, I have been reading your frustration in this thread. May I ask something? Have you tried this as another user, even if you have to add one, which may work best? If it works as the new user, then it is something specific to that user and may be a config in the /home/user directory. If it does the same then it is a system wide problem, something you did as root most likely. I'm not real sure what the heck you are doing but if it is not a really big install, I would be willing to install the program on my rig and see what it does here. If it works, I would email you my configs for you to try on yours. Let me know what you think. You would of course let me know what commands to type in right? You would be leading the blind on this end. Hey, I may need some help one day. I screw up something pretty regular now. O_O I can fix it sometimes too.
