Hi there The Hurd's been sat on one of my machines for a few days now, so I thought I'd check in with a couple of problems I've been having. Before that, tho, I'd like say: Cool! El Hurdo seems to be much more useful than the last time I installed it.
1. Quite often, when telnetting to the box, the login message gets somewhat scrambled, being printed staggered over a few lines and no cursor for the prompt. Logging in doesn't seem to work either (although I may be mis-typing something as I can't see.) The problem doesn't recur if I disconnect and start telnet again. 2. While installing apache, it all, kind of, went a bit wrong: Installing your new homepage in /var/www. Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/sbin/apacheconfig line 371. ... Do you want to manually choose which modules to load? [y/N] Working magic...Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/sbin/apacheconfig line 449, <STDIN> line 1. Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/sbin/apacheconfig line 449, <STDIN> line 1. ..Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/sbin/apacheconfig line 449, <STDIN> line 1. [+lots more] ... Restart Apache now? [Y/n] Stopping apache with apachectl ... Syntax error on line 68 of /etc/apache/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_log_config.so into server: libc.so.6: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started This is is umm.. bad. I'm not a perl hacker, so I won't attempt to look at apacheconfig. I can't think why libc.so.6 can't be found, but whatever it is, it can't be good. 3. When trying to run X apps, it doesn't seem to want to see anything in /X11R6/lib. I've had fun with env vars, going through each combination of LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_RUN_PATH holding /X11R6/lib and /usr/X11R6/lib but to no avail.. I always get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 436344 Mar 4 12:59 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.a lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13 Mar 8 03:13 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so -> libXaw.so.7.0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13 Mar 8 03:05 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6 -> libXaw.so.6.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 233324 Mar 4 12:59 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6.1 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13 Mar 8 03:21 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.7 -> libXaw.so.7.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 332684 Mar 4 12:59 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.7.0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xterm xterm: error while loading shared libraries: libXaw.so.7: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory As root, libXaw.so.7 isn't found normally, but is found if LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set. I can't think why running as root would change the behaviour of the interpretation of LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I hope someone can help, as I would like to have X working.
