The utilities in the base system don't need an up-to-date INDEX. That's not entirely true. pkg_version(1) won't work without an INDEX file. In general, INDEX is used by any application that attempts to compare the version numbers of your installed ports with the version numbers available in the ports tree. However the INDEX file has no direct effect on compiling or installing any particular port. If you have some other mechanism for deciding which ports need to be updated, then you don't need the INDEX file. Outside the base system, portupgrade(1) et al is all about working out which ports have updates available and updating them in the correct order: this clearly depends fundamentally on having some sort of index available. portupgrade(1) takes the data from the INDEX file and stores it in a DB hash INDEX.db, so, except as an intermediate file during index building, technically the portupgrade(1) tools don't need the INDEX file itself either.

GTK
From: Andrew Kozak Date: Monday, 20 October 2003 05:42:11 PM To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: GTK Hi Everyone Hope someone can help me here, I've kinda stuffed up big time. Whilst trying to install etherape, I received a message that my gtk was too old, and that I should uninstall it and install the new one. Which I did. Immediately afterwards, I found that quite a few programs rely on this older version of gtk I have lost all web browsers other than knoqueror (missing dillo, what a nice efficient fast little browser that is). I am using FreeBSD 4.9RC on a Pentium 2 with 128Mb of RAM. I have downloaded the gtk version that used to run the broken programs (version 1.2.0) and tried to ./configure, which goes ahead, but complains about glib not being there, so I downloaded that, still complains that glib is not there. I did download version 1.2.0 and did the /configure but no good, still complains that this file is missing. The error I get if I try and run one of the broken programs is /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so 1: Shared Object libintl.so.4 not found If I do a locate libintl.so.4, the machine tells me that is is located in libexec, right where it should be, however, when I log into that directory and look, It's not there - and I have been logging in as root to make sure that I get all privileges and can see hidden files. I have tried to reinstall some of the broken ports, but once again, I get an error stopping the build process. It is Could not run the GTK test program, checking why.. The test program compiled but did not run. This usually means that the run-time linker is not finding GTK or finding the wrong version of GTK. If it is not finding GTK, you'll need to set your LD-LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point to the installed location Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if that is required on your system. If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, although you may also get things to work by modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Line about Linux configure: error: Unable to find Gtk+ with a version =1.2.0. Dillo needs Gtk+ === Script configure failed unexpectedly. Tried pkgdb -F, hasn't worked either. Please don't bother if you are a 'boffin' who likes big words such as just hiblib the hoobiwhastis with alt 67 and configure the path to match the environment via port 28774. Don't get me wrong, I'm not unappreciative, but it goes over my head, and is a waste of time for all of us. I do not understand code or programming, I am just a workstation operator who is trying to learn this flexible powerful system. I hope to be able to discuss and understand terminology associated with code and programming when I get my head around the basics and have an opportunity to learn more. I am a newbie and need laymen terms to understand. All help appreciated.

not updating XFree86 related stuff while performing portupgrade
Hi, Is there anyway to avoid updating XFree86 related stuff while performing portupgrade ? XFree86 related stuffs are just too big and take too long for my poor PC to compile them all. I wonder if I should : (1) disable fetching the XFree86 related stuffs in the port tree ( to set something in pkgtools.conf to avoid future updating XFree86 related stuffs while cvsupping ) (2) cvsup'd the whole port tree and set some parameters ( and where should I set them ? ) to prevent portupgrade from upgrading XFree86 related stuffs ?

Which ever temporary file system is involved, you should be able to configure it entirely out of /etc/fstab -- see the mdmfs(8) man page. Historically /var/tmp was always a real filesystem and the contents of /var/tmp were expected to persist across reboots. Stuff in /tmp was expected to disappear. However, nowadays that distinction is fading away and many people will advise you to have just one temporary file system and use sym-links to make it appear in all of the expected places. Running with a memory based /var/tmp should be fine generally. You'll need to double check that you aren't running any applications which rely on the persistence of /var/tmp over reboots. That's going to be uncommon nowadays, but there are a couple of examples I can think of directly: eg. vi(1) won't be able to recover editor files across reboots and the TeX/LaTeX/metafont font cache will be wiped out by the reboot and so forth.

My previous attempt was a binary upgrade from 4.5 to 4.7 which did not go very well. I eventually purchased the 4.7 CD. The FreeBSD Handbook stresses backing up the system and implies that /dump/ is a better backup program. Chapter 12.9.8.1 of the handbook recommends having a copy of the boot and fixit floppies available and making sure they have all your devices, otherwise you'll need to prepare two bootable custom floppies that contain /fdisk, disklabel, newfs, mount, /and your backup program. It goes on to say that these programs must be statically linked. I understand hard and soft links but I'm not familiar with static links. The handbook also provides a script for creatinng a bootable floppy. A static link is a firm link:) Seriously, static linking has nothing to do with filesystem links. A statically linked program just uses no shared libraries. AFAICT the programs in /stand (and /bin and /sbin) are statically linked (note that those in /stand are also a crunchbox, that is, a single monolithic program which runs differently depending on the name it was run as). You really have to mess with this only if you are going to write your own program to run from a boot floppy. You can use file(1) if you want to see if a program is staticlally linked: $ file /usr/bin/find /usr/bin/find: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), for FreeBSD 4.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped $ file /stand/find /stand/find: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), for FreeBSD 4.8, statically linked, stripped Can someone help me understand static link? Secondly, can I assume that the script must be reviewed for likely modifications? I'm just learning shell programming and if significant modifications are necessary, I may end up purchasing a CD for 4.8. Any suggestions relative to the upgrade process is also appreciated.

In both cases I'm not looking to do anything fancy, none of this user-accounting or header-pages stuff. I just want to be able to send jobs to the printer and have them come out.

This is the main problem that portupgrade(1) solves: package dependency ordering. Generally what happens is that a port looks for, say, a particular version of a shared library. If you've got an older version of the shared library installed, the test to find the particular shared library will fail, and the ports system will try and re-install the dependent package. As you've discovered, trying to install a package on top of an older version of itself generates errors. The trick is to update the dependencies first, and then the ports that depend on them. It's also a good rule of thumb to take all your ports/packages from a consistent source: ie. always use the packages directory for your particular release from the FTP servers, or always install from a freshly cvsup(1)'d ports tree. That isn't a hard and fast rule, but it generally helps you to avoid this sort of version mismatch thing if you stick to it as closely as you can. Note that sometimes a port providing a particular shared library may have any number of dependents, and they can be broken by your updating the shared library. The gettext port seems to be a prime offender in this reguard, as witnessed by the regular floods of messages to this list about 'libintl.so.N not found'. portupgrade(1) gets around that shared library problem by keeping a copy of old version of shlibs in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg and there will generally be a heads-up e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] when some particularly important port gets updated.

Anyone know of a good way to handle mail for multiple domains (my own _and_ not my own)?
Hey all- this is something I've looked for a good solution for for some time, and I'm sure someone else has already worked out. Any ideas appreciated. The scenario: I have entirely too many email addresses, several of which from domains that are mine, but others that are not mine, but am unable to get rid of entirely. My freeBSD system is going to become a mail server among other things, to handle mail for several of my own domains. Not a big deal there, have done that enough times...however: I'd like to also pull email from the mail accounts which are _not_ mine, so I can simply use IMAP to my mail server to access all of my different accounts email. In the past, I've used fetchmail to accomplish this somewhat, but that was on a per user basis via user cron jobs. I'd rather avoid adding user accounts (at the shell/system level) for each email account I have. Does anyone know of an alternative way to do this, that would work well for say, a dozen accounts for multiple domains of my own, and perhaps another dozen accounts from domains that are not my own?

If the new program really *requires* an updated version of the dependency (as opposed to the packages case, where it's linked against that version but could -- typically -- just as easily have been linked against an older version), then you need to update the dependency, and everything else that's dependent on it.

Re: mplayer + xmms issue!
Are you getting any sounds at all? Check in /dev to see if you even have a sound device. My guess is no. All sound drivers (I believe) are disabled initially. Check out /boot/defaults/loader.conf and /boot/loader.conf. Also the Handbook has a sound card section. Most PCs have a cable connected directly from the CDROM to the sound card so CDs might play even if FreeBSD is not setup to use your sound card.

Can I get SMBFS to cooperate with NT apps as well as Sharity Light?
I am trying to open a series of database files from FreeBSD that are hosted by a Windows NT share. I only need read-only access at this point. For some reason though, if a file is opened by a Windows program, FreeBSD can't get read access to it if I use smbfs, but other Windows machines can and so can FreeBSD if I mount the share with Sharity instead of smbfs. I tried to find information in the mount_smbfs man page and in the smbfs source code on how to make smbfs grant me read access to an already-opened file, but I didn't find anything. Is there a way to get smbfs to grant the same access to files that Windows is using? This is FreeBSD 4.8-RC, in case it matters for this.

Once you have cvsup installed, you can use it to install/update the ports collection. If you cannot use cvsup for some other reason, you might try FTP-ing the latest ports collection.

Any ideas on X freezing up with NVIDIA drivers?
Hello all and thank you in advance...first off I am still a bit of a newbie with FreeBSD (and *NIX in general) but am learning more every day = ) I hope I got this on the correct list but feel free to point me in the right direction if I did not OK...here's the problem. I have an A7N8X board (deluxe) and am trying to use the nvidia driver with my GeForceFX. I've installed 5.1-Release (I tries 4.8 too but the 5.1 just seemed to flow better with me) and have ACPI turned off in my BIOS and in FBSD. However no matter what I do all I seem to be able to get when I start up X is the nvidia logo. I lose all keyboard function and thus have to do a hard reboot. I have been working on this particular little problem for a number of weeks now to no avail. I have searched any relevant docs I could find (nvidia, handbook,XFree86 site, nforce2 site) to no avail. I have googles so much I have trouble remembering which keyword combination I used to get to a particular page. Basically I am clueless on what to try next. I have tried make setup with the WITH_FREEBSD_AGP with agp in the kernel, tried the WITH_FREEBSD_AGP with it not in the kernel but as a module, I have tried with no agp in kernel or agp.ko and using the cards AGPGART. I have even tried combinations between them. I have compiled and recompiled with optimizations (-march=athlon-xp CHFLAGS= -o -pipe) and without but nothing seems to change. The only errors I am getting in my XFree86.0.log is a couple of warnings about some resolution I don't use anyway not working with my monitor and of course it not being able to verify AGP usage when I am using freebsd's agpgart. Other than that everything looks peachy keen. Everything works fine with nv Looking back I probably would not have gotten such a problematic chipset if I had known I was going to be giving up windows and moving to something a little more fun = )...btw besides the whole video driver thing I am loving this OS. oh yeahif you need me to post my dmesg or config file or log or anything just let me know = ) Don Whitteker __ Do you Yahoo!?

Whilst trying to install etherape, I received a message that my gtk was too old, and that I should uninstall it and install the new one. Which I did. Immediately afterwards, I found that quite a few programs rely on this older version of gtk I have lost all web browsers other than knoqueror (missing dillo, what a nice efficient fast little browser that is). I am using FreeBSD 4.9RC on a Pentium 2 with 128Mb of RAM. I have downloaded the gtk version that used to run the broken programs (version 1.2.0) and tried to ./configure, which goes ahead, but complains about glib not being there, so I downloaded that, still complains that glib is not there. I did download version 1.2.0 and did the /configure but no good, still complains that this file is missing. From your description, this machine sounds like its had some of its parts (software parts, that is) upgraded over a period of time and now you're running into problems with version compatibility. We call this dependency hell, though the phrase is usually used in a slightly different context. I'm afraid I don't have any advice specific to your problem, but I can give some general advice starting with: Consider saving all of your important data (to include networking configuration, custom scripts, and X configuration) and start from scratch with a new install of 4.9RC. The error I get if I try and run one of the broken programs is /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so 1: Shared Object libintl.so.4 not found If I do a locate libintl.so.4, the machine tells me that is is located in libexec, right where it should be, however, when I log into that directory and look, It's not there - and I have been logging in as root to make sure that I get all privileges and can see hidden files. The 'locate' utility uses a database, located in /var/db/locate.database, to keep track of things. Theoretically, this database is supposed to be updated weekly via a cron job, which can result in a confusing scenario for those not familiar with how locate works. If you do any work to the filesystem (installing a program, deleting some files, etc) then the locate database will be out of date until the the next time the cron job is run. This is the problem that you're describing. Do an 'ls -l' on the database file and look at the timestamp--that will tell you the exact time that the database was last synched with the system. I personally lothe the locate system because it's most useless when it's most needed. I tinker on my system a lot, and if I've just installed something and run into library dependency issues, I usually want to know where my libraries are *now*, not last Saturday at 4:15AM. For this reason, I usually disable the weekly database sync (to save wear and tear on my disks) and resort to 'which', 'whereis', and 'find'. See the manpages for each. [snip] Please don't bother if you are a 'boffin' who likes big words such as just hiblib the hoobiwhastis with alt 67 and configure the path to match the environment via port 28774. Don't get me wrong, I'm not unappreciative, but it goes over my head, and is a waste of time for all of us. I do not understand code or programming, I am just a workstation operator who is trying to learn this flexible powerful system. I hope to be able to discuss and understand terminology associated with code and programming when I get my head around the basics and have an opportunity to learn more. I am a newbie and need laymen terms to understand. I'm sure you're not unappreciative, but bear in mind that FreeBSD is a complex, technical system and that technical language is usually required to communicate any meaningful solution or idea. There might be a few on this list who enjoy trying to flex their alleged superiority over newbies by using throwing in advanced words and highly technical concepts, but most of us are just here volunteering our valuable time to help. Understanding, however, can never simply be given. That's a journey that you have to take up yourself. If you're having trouble with the technical jargon, you should strive to learn it by reading as many docs and manpages as you can, especially since you indicate that your intention is to learn. I can sympathize with your situation, though, because I'm not much of a programmer either. This is a significant disadvantage when it comes to learning FreeBSD as its surrounding culture is deeply intertwined with programming and development, even compared to other Unix clones and derivatives. But with persistance and a LOT of reading, FreeBSD is far from impossible to learn. Charles Ulrich -- http://bityard.net ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Oracle client question
Hey all. I'm sure this has been asked a few times, but I've not found the answer to my specific question regarding Oracle on FreeBSD. Here goes: I don't need to run the Oracle server on FreeBSD, so I'm not above simply copying in the headers and libraries by hand. So the installation procedure is NOT necessary. The handbook and FAQ do not discuss actually *linking* linux specific libraries. Here's the real question: Is anyone out there linking CLIENT applications that successfully connect to a separate Oracle server? If this can be done easily enough, then I may be porting a very high volume network application (500+ HTTP transactions/sec on a base Netra running Solaris8) to FreeBSD 5.x. The problem is that I am inextricably tied to Oracle. If anyone has had any experience in this area, I'd certainly appreciate some pointers. I'd also appreciate knowing if anyone has actually built an Oracle client on Linux and run it on FreeBSD. And no, I don't believe Linux is being considered as an actual runtime platform option.

Do you have the ports collection (the /usr/ports directory and contents) in your version of 5.1-RELEASE? If so, you can cd to /usr/ports/www/mozilla-firebird and type 'make install clean' (no quotes). That should get you version 0.6, I believe. Why are you unable to cvsup? If it is because you don't have the cvsup application installed, see if you can download and install the package for it (I'd recommend choosing the cvsup-without-gui package; you can also install cvsup using the port, but that takes a very long time downloading, compiling and installing Modula-3). Once you have cvsup installed, you can use it to install/update the ports collection. If you cannot use cvsup for some other reason, you might try FTP-ing the latest ports collection. (Since I am behind a firewall without FTP access ATM, can someone tell us whether there is an FTP-able ports collection with version 0.7 of Mozilla-Firebird?)

Re: 5406 warnings during buildworld other q's
Hi Kris, Thanks for replying... d) installworld failed the first time as the user 'smmsp' didn't exist. I dutifully followed the advice given in UPGRADE by building and running mergemaster. Second run of installworld also failed - at mergemaster, saying Don't know how to build mergemaster.sh. I'm not sure if I did the right thing, but copying /usr/sbin/mergemaster to the source directory /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster and renaming it to mergemaster.sh, fixed the problem. Can anyone comment on this? = It looks like your buildworld didn't complete before you tried to = installworld it. As far as the process is concerned it definitely completed, and I grepped for errors and found none in the logfile. The last thing buidlworld logged was: chmod 444 freebsd.submit.cf Having done this for the first time, I don't know what the last line should be. Does it say buildworld complete? I checked the timestamp on both ld-elf.so.1 and libm.so.2 and they were built today - anyone know what might have caused this? Do I need to rebuild cvsup, if so how? = This is explained in UPDATING.

Re: GTK
Hi All Thank You very much to C Ulrich and Sergey 'Double F' Zaharchen for your help with my GTK problem. Unfortunately I think that C Ulrich is right in that I will have to install again from scratch. Unfortunately reinstalling GTK, gettext etc. has not helped. Ohh well, practice make perfect, and Sergey, you have started something now, what on earth does 'In the words of M. Bulghakov, Annushkauzhe razlila maslo...' mean ? Thank you both so much for using terms I can understand, and although it seems I cannot repair the problem, I have learnt a valuable lesson, and picked up a couple of tips along the way :) I definitely do intend to read a great deal more about FreeBSD, I just have trouble finding time (work 60+ hours a week, new Dad etc.) so I guess I will just take a little longer than some :) But I'll get there !!

Noob FreeBSD 5.1 install question
Hi All, I am new to this list and new to freeBSD. I run a Mandrake 9.1 server and wish to convert to FreeBSD. Here are 2 questions that I have. A) I have reinstall freeBSD many times over and over. I work with W2k machine at work and do a Unattended install when I don't want to select the same options over and over again on multiple machines. Is there a way I can create a install Config file to select all my options for me? Is there a way I can take a snapshot of the way the OS is currently configured and make a Install Config File? Maybe something that will auto set my TimeZone, Partition / Slice sizes, just to get the Base OS installed without any ports (except for maybe Lynx Text Web Browser) B) after installing Various ports on the system, do I have to do a Make Clean after each install or can I run Make Clean after installing all of my required Ports? Just as FYI I am running FreeBSD 5.1, I have downloaded and Burned the 2 ISO's (Full Install and Repair / Fix It) I run the install from the cd, then I choose to NOT install the ports, download the 19.x meg file from FreeBSD.org/ports and un Tar it into the /usr folder. Thanks for any help you can provide. John ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Odd network interface (PCMCIA) problem; going insane
When in doubt, check for updates... After about twenty hours of messing with this, I decided to check for an update. I was running 5.0; downloaded 5.1: Viola! Everything is good. I was sure that the problem was in FreeBSD and I guess it was. Thanks for the reply.

The BSD machine is @ 10.0.0.3, have a mac @ .2, XP @ .4. Subnets are fine. I can't ssh, telnet, ftp or even ping!! .3 from .2 or .4. When I ping FROM .3 to any another, I get some strange dup responses. This only happens on this machine. I CAN ping to .3 from .3. This makes sense. Have tried direct x-over cable connection between machines. No good. Have removed card and installed in XP machine. Good. Have reinstalled FBSD. No luck. In order to confirm that the machine is okay, I reloaded win2K clean over the BSD. Good! The PCM100 is listed in the pccard.conf file (I think that's it's name.) I do not see any reference to it in dmesg. I swear this worked at one point. Any suggestions? This sounds like some sort of cabling problem (at least from the router's point of view).

Hi, just a question for a doubt I have:I updated the src tree via cvsup using the file included below.According to some BSD literature (not found in the handbook), by using the 'RELENG_4' tag in the supfile, I will get the source tree for the latest -STABLE branch, and that is what I wanted.I CVSuped,the I recompiled the source tree and the kernel,according to the FreeBSD Handbook instructions. All went OK.This is the output from the 'uname -a' command after the process: FreeBSD ciao.singles.it 4.9-RC FreeBSD 4.9-RC #0: Wed Oct 15 00:12:26 CEST 2003 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CURRENT_WINE i386 I have two questions: 1)looking at the output of 'uname', is this a STABLE version of FreeBSD (as I would expect) ? 2)if I wanted, for example, 4.5 stable, or instead 4.3 stable, which options should I put in the supfile ?
