[gentoo-user] grub-install error
After setting up a new laptop the grub-install command produces an error: "grub-install: error: disk `lvm/nvme0n1p1' not found." A few comments about the system . . it is a basic setup except that it uses luks2 on each partition; lvm is not used, but the decrypted partitions are in /dev/mapper and may be the reason lvm is in the error message. The device.map file does not exist on my other working machines so it is not clear if that is even necessary. Also the /dev/mapper/nvme0n1p1 partition is certainly there, it is vfat and mounted on /efi. The intent is to use a custom initramfs to do the decryption. The laptop will be rebuilt a couple times to work out some ideas, but before starting over it would be helpful to understand this error (it is not one of the two errors mentioned in the Debugging GRUB section of the Handbook). Responses to questions will be slow since all my traffic goes through the weekly digest. Thanks in advance.

Re: [gentoo-user] Loading modules prevents shutdown
Thanks for the tips. After spending a lot of time on and off for a few weeks trying to keep /lib/modules on its own partition, it just did not work right; the system was scrapped and rebuilt per the trivial solution with /lib/modules on the root partition. Now it works as expected. A good explanation as to why /lib/modules cannot be a separate partition would be nice, but after learning learning the hard way again it stays on the root partition going forward.

[gentoo-user] Re: LVM and the /usr Logical Volume
Having /dev/dm-1 mounted on /usr would not be an issue if it was supposed to be that way; however, nothing in the handbook or anything else I have read says that is correct. In addition, every other system I have setup or used always had /usr as the mount point in the fstab. My primary questions are: * Why is it different this time? * What changed to make /usr mount the block device? * Why is the /usr record in the fstab being ignored and being handled differently that /var, /opt, /home and /vm ? Even though everything seems to be work correctly, without a good and authoritative explanation my confidence level in the stability is not too high and is preventing me from relying on it as primary host. My concerns about not having a good explanation for why df -h shows /dev/dm-1 on /usr instead of /dev/mapper/vg0-usr are: * There could be problems interfacing directly with the block device (/dev/dm-1) and not the link (/dev/mapper/vg0-usr). * When it comes time to extend the /usr logical volume and use commands like lvextend, resize2fs, lvresize and some others it may cause problems. * The documentation does not say this is correct, in fact the documentation specifically says the opposite that the fstab is used for the mount points. * It looks like the initramfs is not letting go of the temporary /usr mount and mounting /usr in the vg0-usr volume group correctly. After reinstalling Gentoo with a new liveusb, my system still looks similar to the way it was before. I started with the existing partition schema and wiped everything and performed a separate independent install. I am still not sure why the /dev/dm-1 block device is mounted on /usr which is not what the fstab is instructing. UUIDs are not being used because the handbook says: *Important:* UUIDs of the filesystem on a LVM volume and its LVM snapshots are identical, therefore using UUIDs to mount LVM volumes should be avoided. /etc/fstab: /dev/nvme0n1p6 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 0 2 /dev/nvme0n1p7 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/nvme0n1p8 / ext4 defaults,noatime,discard 0 1 /dev/nvme0n1p9 /lib/modules ext4 defaults,noatime,discard 0 1 /dev/nvme0n1p10 /tmp ext4 defaults,noatime,discard 0 1 /dev/mapper/vg0-usr /usr ext4 defaults,noatime,discard 0 0 /dev/mapper/vg0-home /home ext4 defaults,noatime,discard 0 1 /dev/mapper/vg0-opt /opt ext4 defaults,noatime,discard 0 1 /dev/mapper/vg0-var /var ext4 defaults,noatime,discard 0 1 /dev/mapper/vg1-vm /vm ext4 noauto,noatime,discard 0 1 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto rw,exec,noauto,user 0 0 /etc/initramfs.mounts has: /usr # ls -l /dev/mapper/vg0-usr lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 23 05:56 /dev/mapper/vg0-usr -> ../dm-1 # mount /usr mount: /usr: /dev/mapper/vg0-usr already mounted or mount point busy. # df -h /usr Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/dm-1 25G 3.2G 20G 14% /usr Thank you
[gentoo-user] Re: LVM and the /usr Logical Volume
So it sounds like /usr being under /dev/dm-1 instead of /dev/mapper does not look right. The UUID was tried in the fstab and the same results occurred, same as with LABEL and mount points. Since /usr is mounted temporarily at boot it almost looks as if there is something wrong with the way the initramfs is handling it. The tmpfs is built into the kernel and the /etc/initramfs.mounts looks correct with only /usr in it, but /lib/modules was tried also and did not make a difference. Could this be a bug with genkernel or udev? Thanks
[gentoo-user] LVM and the /usr Logical Volume
My new laptop is set up to dual boot and has a clean Gentoo install as the second operating system. It looks like there may be an issue with the /usr Logical Volume (LV) somewhere between LVM, initramfs and udev. Only the base system has been installed and updated (no desktop). The issue is the /usr logical volume is not mounted as expected. After booting without the livecd: * The df -h command show /usr on /dev/dm-1 and not /dev/mapper/vg0-usr like the in the fstab. * My expectation is it should follow the other LVs (home, var, opt, vm) and be in the vg0 Volume Group on /dev/mapper . * However the mount /usr command indicates that it is mounted correctly: mount: /usr: /dev/mapper/vg0-usr already mounted or mount point busy. Is there something off here or is this correct behavior? The laptop is a new HP Envy x360, 2-in-1 Flip Laptop, 15.6" Full HD Touchscreen, AMD Ryzen 7 5700U Processor, 64GB RAM and 1TB PCIe SSD.

[gentoo-user] Updating a Standalone
I have a Gentoo Box that is a standalone with no internet access. Is there a way I can update it by using my laptop? It would be nice to be able to sync a copy of my world list on my laptop without clobbering my laptop's world list. Then do a fetch for the standalone world and when on the console pf the standalone do the update to the fetched packages on the laptop. The idea is not to have the laptop as an image of the standalone, but as a server to sync to while keeping the laptop's world separate. Thanks, dhk

I didn't really want to tar or burn stuff to disk. I think I'd like to just be able --sync the laptop for itself and then have the ability to do another sync for the standalone. Of coarse the second sync for the standalone wouldn't install anything. Then when I travel to the standalone I'd like to do any emerge -uDNp world to the laptop which would most likely be the setting in the make.conf on the standalone. Thanks

The libcurl.la file was used by the Berkeley XML Database: I think the Xerces and Xquilla parts. I reinstalled the Berkeley XML Database and, even though the libcurl.la file didn't come back, the problem disappeared. The program I have that uses the database now builds and runs fine. dhk

I have a program that's not in world that uses it when built: libtool complains that it's missing. In /usr/lib64 there are libcurl .so files but no .la files. How can I get the libcurl.la library back and keep it so emerge --depclean doesn't remove it? Have you run lafilefixer --justfixit? I wonder if you have old .la files from packages emerged before portage 2.1.9. After running it once, you shouldn't need it anymore since portage will auto-fix them upon installation. You should run the lafilefixer command before trying revdep-rebuild, or else you might have a lot of unnecessary emerges. AFAIK the usage of .la files is basically deprecated and only a few packages still require them. Flameeyes posted a lot of details about it on his blog last year. (http://blog.flameeyes.eu) I did the lafilefixer and revdep-rebuild and it still happens. I think it may be in my project directory. In there I have three files libtool, Makefile.in, and acinclude.m4 each make reference to libtool. It's commented out in the configure.ac file. Something is still looking for libcurl.la and libtool is trying to link to it. I grep'ed for curl and nothing is returned. I'm using the Berkeley C++ xml database, libxml2, and other things. I cleaned up all the Makefiles and reran libtoolize.

[gentoo-user] emerge --depclean removed python 2.6
After a recent update I got python 2.7 installed. The emerge --depclean command removed python 2.6 which I thought would be alright since I now have 2.7.

[gentoo-user] Logout of Desktop Hangs on Laptop
I have a new laptop with LXDE and XFCE4 installed for the desktop environment. I boot to run level 3 and then run startx. When logging out of the either desktop it never returns to the command prompt, there's just a blank screen and I can not switch to an alternate terminal. However, the Alt-SysRq EISUB does work and reboots the system. From what I've read on the web this is a common problem with laptops and it seems to happen with all desktop environments. The solutions mentioned had quite a range and included the way the ~/.initrc is configured to power management settings. However, none have worked, and there's nothing that can be done after logging out except to reboot. How can I log out of a desktop and return to the command prompt that I started from before running startx? Thanks, dhk

want to pull in Thunderbird and enigmail. How can I uninstall so
there's really no trace of the program? I wouldn't mind reinstalling
it, but it keeps erroring. Below is some output. I don't understand the:

Anyway, if you're serious about using it, probably you'll want xdm and likely slim (since you're running something lightweight). Yeah, I ran startx for two years because I'm that lazy, but anyway, it's a good idea. From XDM you can get a terminal if you want. This is only at best a work around (or indication of deeper problems), but you may try it. Just make sure you edit slim.conf for your login_cmd since for zsh you get a little wrecked if you don't... Cheers, daid After installing xfce4 I found out this problem is not an lxde problem it seems to be a desktop environment or windows manager problem. When I click the logout button in xfce4 it hangs also, it never brings me back to the command prompt. The only thing I can do is Alt-SysReq-EISUB which works really well and suggested in an earlier thread. I installed xdm and slim, but strange things happen with that. When I run /etc/xinit.d/xdm start the slim login appears, but the right half of my keyboard doesn't work right. For example when I press the k key a 2 is printed. Very strange. dhk

This probably won't make any sense, but for some reason I had good clear sound for a few minutes today. Since I've been working on other things and audio is a luxury for me I haven't been trying to get it to work lately. However, this afternoon I plugged in the speaker and tried a wave file and it played great. Then, since the machine has been running a for a while and I've done updates recently, I rebooted to have a clean start. I though it might get rid of the bouncing vertical scrollbar, but that's another issue. I was all set to play music and videos, but after the reboot the audio wasn't working anymore. Something somewhere got the audio working only for it to stop after a reboot. I checked alsasound and it's running. Any ideas? Thanks

I am not sure that you can use LVM2 for MSWindows - as far as I know they use Logical Disk Manager which it is not the same with any other sane LVM implementation - come on now, would you expect them to seek compatibility or interoperability?!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_Disk_Manager Then I just made it an ordinary static HPFS/NTFS partition on /dev/sda5. When installing Windows 7 it wouldn't install on that partition. I deleted all the partitions and just installed it on the first 50Gigs of the disk. Second, the questions. The Windows 7 install on the first 50Gigs of the disk needed to created two partitions. The first was a very small boot partition that I increased to 128Megs, and the second is the rest of Windows 7. Now when I boot to the livecd to partition the rest of the disk for Gentoo fdisk says Partition 1 does not end on a cylinder boundary. Is this a problem? The other big question is: what do I do Dunno, it might be that win7 changed the amount of heads/sectors that could give that notice from fdisk. I would not be to worrified about it (Installing windows would be more horrifying). If you have a traditional hd then the worst thing I think might be that reads/writes would be slower. If I'm not mistaken, this alignment is actually a good thing. It is related to the transition from 512 B blocks to 4 kB and also helps alignments for SSDs. In this regard, Win 7 behaves very clever and really much better than the old and proven Linux tools (unless you know what you are doing and are aware of every issue). IMHO it is a real shame that most Linux tools are still behind in this regard. Only some are. The 'parted -a optimal' or gparted will seek to align the end of a partition, but you will find that it may under/overshoot your specified size to achieve that. fdisk et al have some development to do yet. If you think you have an HDD with 4kB blocks, ask and I can provide you with some links on that topic. about the first partition in the partition table? It is an HPFS/NTFS partition and has been toggled bootable. It also has some stuff in it that looks like it's important to Windows: a BOOTSECT.BAK file, a Boot directory, a System Volume Information directory, and a bootmgr file. Now for my Gentoo install, how and where do I make a /boot partition? Do I replace the Windows 7 boot partition with /boot? If so, what happens to the contents? or Do I make a /boot partition on /dev/sda3 and toggle the bootable flag there? Something like that. You could install gentoo on one partition (I don't recommend). No! Nothing like that. Leave the MS Windows boot partition alone and flagged as boot. MS Windows needs this, while Linux does not. Just make partitions like you would do without windows. When you do the grub-install script or by hand grub links the boot to the partition where boot exists. You should not remove or change the windows partitions or the data windows will probably brake when you do. Yep. Create a new partition; e.g. /dev/sda3 and use that as the /boot mountpoint for your Linux OS. This is where the grub fs, Linux OS kernels and related files will be saved. AFAIK, grub does not need the bootable flag. Leave it alone. Maybe Windows needs it, maybe it is just for good measure, I don't know. This is correct, MS Windows needs it and it will not boot without it, especially if you retain the MSWindows MBR boot code - although you can install GRUB in the MBR and chainload MSWindows from there with it. HTH. Thanks for all the input. It helped clear up a lot of questions. I spent the weekend installing to Operating Systems and it looks like it almost worked. I think the problem is in the Grub setup, so it should be repairable once I find the mistake. If it's something else, I may be doing this again next weekend. Thanks again, dhk

[gentoo-user] Dual Boot Partitions
I have a new laptop that I need to set up for dual booting. As much as I despise Microsoft, I have to use it for certain things. Such as some obscure peripherals, like my slide photo scanner, it doesn't support Linux and TD Ameritrade's streaming Java tools don't work the same as on Linux. Until corporation's smarten up Microsoft will be a problem. The setup for dual booting seem pretty straight forward. Install windows first, then Linux, and modify the boot loader. However, I have a couple of question and observations. First, the observations. I tried to partition my disk with fdisk the way I wanted. It had the usual Linux partitions and a partition that I was going to use for Window 7. I wanted to make this an LVM2 partition, but that didn't work; I guess that was too ambitious.

If that doesn't work try traceroute to see how far you can get, and the last hop may provide clues as to why you can access it by sending an ICMP message. Post back what you find. Depending on configuration of routers and firewalls ICMP packets may be dropped, so if plain ping/traceroute fails use httping and tcptraceroute (or traceroute -T -p 22) I don't know why I would have a firewall or network problem, the set up I have has been here for 8+ years. The setup is like this. In the basement the cable internet comes in and into a cable modem. Then an RJ45 out of the cable modem into an 8-port NETGEAR Router/Switch. Upstairs is a hub with three computers connected and this hub is connected to the switch in the basement. The only problem I ever had was when the dhcp address changed, then it needed to be added to the PORT FORWARDING section of the switch with port 22. Remember I can still log in remotely from Redhat and Suse boxes that weren't updated with the new openssh. When ssh'ing in from a remote updated Gentoo box the Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer message is displayed. This message is not displayed when trying to ssh in from inside the network. Alright, back to the task at hand. When I tell the switch to Respond to Ping on Internet WAN Port the ping statistics are good: 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2007ms. I'm not sure where to go from here.

Under the HD-Intel sound card driver menu there are several codecs for specific sound chips. e.g. I use the one for realtek, but yours may be a different one.

Could this be a bug in the kernel? I haven't had sound for about a year, but I know it use to work on this hardware. It probably went out with an upgrade and never came back with a new install. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks, dhk Been there, done that, still no sound. Thanks. I think I have made some progress. After getting a new sound card (Sound Blaster X-Fi) and building X-Fi in the kernel I have some sound, but it sounds terrible. It's mostly a static noise with a hint of the actual audio underneath. Also the volume is almost all the way up, but the volume still sounds low. The ALSA Soundcard Matrix for this card says: Sound Blaster X-Fi emu20k1 Details [PCI] Partially supported on 1.0.21; EAX and Advanced sound options like crystalizer not available and # lspci | grep -i audio 02:09.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs CA0106 Soundblaster I set the ALSA_CARDS variable in /etc/make.conf to emu20k1 and CA0106, but neither make a difference. When alsaconf is run it always set the card as CA0106. After each change I run alsaconf and alsamixer to make sure all is set correctly. When the ALSA_CARDS variable is changed, is there anything that need to run or be updated?

I encountered a similar, if not the same, problem this morning. Upgraded SSH, rebooted server, and no longer able to login. Logs showed errors I had not seen before. I managed to solve the problem when I noticed that ssh'ing to the fqdn of the server failed, but ssh'ing to the server hostname worked. This implied there might be an issue with the known_hosts file, so I blew away that on both the client and server and all was well. I'm guessing the upgrade modified the default ssh host keys, the new code somehow doesn't give the normal error about discrepencies in known_hosts, and consequently although ones user keys are still fine, it fails. The issue here is really the new error isn't nearly as understandable as the old. Anyhow, try it and I hope it works. Matt Thanks, but I've tried that. ssh'ing to the hostname and loopback address work. However, when I go out to the WAN it doesn't. So I can't ssh user@123.123.123.123 even though I have port 22 open on the switch for my ip.

Make a file of phone numbers. $ cat phone.txt 555-1212 555-1234 555- Then run the following command to prefix the number with 212 and a dash. $ sed 's/555/212-/' phone.txt 212-555-1212 212-555-1234 212-555- Try moving the ampersand around the replacement string.

You can always try it but I highly doubt it would improve the situation... What sound related USE flags have you enabled (i.e. alsa, oss[for compatibility] etc.)? Are you using any sound daemons (like Esound or Pulseaudio)? Shut them down. Are you sure you've plugged the speaker/headphone cable(s) into the right jack? Whenever I install a new computer I always put some music on and try the different audio jacks to find the right one. How do you play sound to verify that you have (or not, in your case) sound? For the last part I would advise to keep it as simple as possible i.e. try ogg123 or mpg123 or mplayer (as an example).

As far as I know there aren't any sound daemons running, this is a new install, only a couple of weeks old. Everything looks like it should be working, the only thing is I don't hear anything. Since I hear other things I'm sure I'm not deaf and can rule that out. This is a basic set up with lvm2, gnome, firefox, thunderbird, and openoffice. That's about it, nothing fancy.
[gentoo-user] ALSA - No Sound
Can someone tell me why I don't have sound? I've followed the instructions at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml and everything seems to be working, but there's still no sound. I've also swapped out the speakers, made sure they were powered on, and the volume turned up. Also I'm in the audio group and the channels are unmuted with the volume at 75%. One thing I did notice is that after running alsaconf there aren't any modules in /etc/modules.d/, in fact the directory doesn't even exist. Now if there aren't any modules to load that's fine, but since I don't hear anything I'm not so sure. Below is what's on my ~amd64 system.

[gentoo-user] Firefox doesn't build - gcc compilers
How can I get Firefox and Imagemagick working? I had two gcc compiles installed on my machine 3.4.3 and 4.4.4. After reading that gcc 3.4.3 was not necessary anymore since gcc 4.4.4 was stable. I removed gcc 3.4.3 and left 4.4.4 to get imagemagick updated. Now both imagemagick and firefox fail to build ( [ebuild U ] media-gfx/imagemagick-6.6.5.6 [6.6.2.5] USE=corefonts%* ). I'm not sure if there are other things not working also. Should I have kept gcc 3.4.3?

[gentoo-user] Which architecture ???
I have a laptop which has an AMD Athlon Neo X2 L335 2.2GHz Dual Core processor on it and I'd like to know which architecture (handbook and livecd) to use. The handbook choices are: x86, sparc, amd64, ppc, ppc64, alpha, hppa, mips, ia64, arm. I'm guessing the x86, but I's like to be sure. Thanks dhk

But you can check cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep address sizes If it shows more than 32 bits (e.g. 48 bits) then you could use amd64, as well. AFAIK, 64 is mean stream today. How much memory do you have installed? If more than 4G you have to use adm64 to fully use it. I'd prefer amd64 if possible, Helmut. I don't see any address size but when I cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep size I get casche size 256 KB and clflush size 64. The laptop has 4G of memory.

[ ] Very old hard disk (MFM/RLL/IDE) driver I went back to ide a few years ago because I had problems with sata. First, the system would never boot with more than one sata drive connected. There's something call Staggered Spin-up Detection which load balances the power going to the disks. The bios would error saying that there weren't any hard disks, when really they weren't powered up by time the bios finished checking them. Second, I broke a couple of motherboard sata connectors. Apparently the wire connection to the connector is tighter than the connector's connection to the motherboard, they pulled right off the board.

Since the one you made and the genkernel match up, I would check to make sure you included the correct file system and it is BUILT IN not a module. Hope that helps or someone else comes up with another idea. He does not have the ramdisk or initrd in his manual ones. That would do it right there. Be sure to generate the ramdisk as well. The documentation doesn't say to use ramdisk or initrd for a manual kernel, only the genkernel.

If so then you can just find it on your system and copy it to /usr/local/bin or something like that (it possibly copies the templates from somewhere else, so you will need to find those also). Note that it may make use of deprecated autotool commands, and if not updated, may break in the future. HTH, W Yes, it is a shell script.

Thanks, dhk Here are a couple options. Subscribe to -dev and see if you can take over maintaining the package. Then do whatever needs to be done to get it updated and keep it stable. If you can do that, they could let the package stay in the tree. Next option, copy the ebuild to a local overlay and maintain it there. Keep in mind, doing this is about the same as above except it affects just you. You do all the work locally. One other option, use different tools to do your project. I don't know anything about autotoolset or what it does but there may be better tools to use. If you don't do one of the above, autotoolses ebuild will be removed and you will eventually have to do something because there will be no more updates. Which appears to be the case now anyway. No updates since 2004. There's some options. Someone else may have a couple more. Dale :-) :-) This isn't good. It sounds like my project is in deep trouble since the whole build and distribution is done with the autotools. Taking over and maintaining the package is an option, but I think it will be gone before I can get up to speed on it. I wonder how many developers out there have an interest in it if it's that antiquated. Personally I think it's a great tool. Anyone know what other tools are being used to build and distribute programs with dependencies? Thanks, dhk

Thanks, First, the obligatory have you looked at the logs? Not a lot of information was given (upgraded to what version? what drivers?, etc). but here is a guess. Since you are using an nvidia card, I'm guessing you are using the proprietary nvidia drivers. The gnome preference thingie uses xrandr which, as far as I know, the proprietery nvidia drivers do not support. I don't use nvidia cards anymore, but from my memory the GNOME monitor app has never worked with Nvidia. I'm also guessing that you upgraded to xorg-server 1.9. Based on that, and the fact that Nvidia drivers are usually behind Xorg updates, I'm going to guess that the proprietary drivers are not working correctly, either because Nvidia has to push out an update that supports 1.9 or you have not re-compiled your drivers after upgrading the server. So I would say first to try recompiling the Nvidia driver (if you haven't already done so) and if that doesn't fix the problem you'll might have to wait until Nvidia updates their proprietary drivers. Anyway that's just a guess, since I no longer use Nvidia and based on the limited information received. You will likely find more information (that you can post) by looking at the X server's log file. -a After doing the following I didn't notice any difference and the nvidia driver wasn't installed in the first place.

Everything looks larger than usual. As far as this email thread goes, I thought xorg.conf was obsolete. It is if you can use udev and hal to sort out things. Only thing is, if hal or udev doesn't work, you are stuck with using xorg.conf. As some may know here, hal didn't work for me. It was good at locking up my keyboard and mouse tho. At one point, even the SysRq key wouldn't work. I don't know where but I also read where someone had trouble with a LCD screen one time. It would work on a console but no GUI. They had to use a xorg.conf file to set the display up properly so that it would work. Hal works for most people but doesn't for others. Then some others can do some minor tweaking and get it to work. I wouldn't even think of trying to tell someone how to tweak hal's config file. It's in xml and I can't read that. I did find this link which may help. The part at the bottom is what I think you need. http://howto-pages.org/ModeLines/ Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-) We'll I have an LCD screen that stopped displaying correctly yesterday after the Xorg update. It's not terrible, but not like it was. I may have to use xorg.conf now.

The shutdown option disappeared as an option from the menu about the same time as this email and a gnome release. It just took a few months to get around to it. I have gnome built with policykit (see below), but still no shutdown option. I have to log in as root to shutdown properly. # emerge -pv gnome These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] gnome-base/gnome-2.28.2 USE=cdr cups policykit -accessibility -dvdr -ldap -mono 0 kB Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB Also why doesn't alacarte have shutdown and some other stuff for adding and removing in the main menu? Shutting down from the gnome desktop would make things easier. How can I get that option back? Thanks, --dhk
[gentoo-user] gSoap
I recently installed gSoap and have be trying to use build the examples
in tutorials ( Such as: http://websrv.cs.fsu.edu/~engelen/soap.html ).
Since everything seems pretty simple and breaks on step 2, I was
wondering if it has something to do with the ebuild.
gsoap is installed as follows.
# emerge -pv net-libs/gsoap
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] net-libs/gsoap-2.7.13 USE=ssl -debug -doc -examples 0 kB
Step 1 is to save the .c file with the main() in it.
Step 2 is to run a command which has a few problems. The results of
which are below. The problems I see are 1) typemap.dat - this may or
may not be an issue. It's not mentioned as being required or explained
very well. 2) An error occurred while parsing WSDL or XSD. 3) The .h
file it generates is empty.
This is just one example, but I've tried many and the all fail.
