library error installing Mozilla

2004-05-15 Thread Alex Walker
I get the following error when I install Mozilla:

Error: shared library glib-2.0.400 does not exist

I'm a little stymied on this one, can anyone offer a suggestion?

Thanks,
Alex

strange font error on Konsole

2004-01-24 Thread Alex Walker
I'm running KDE on FreeBSD 4.8. Everything was working great, but after a
recent run of the CVSUP/Portupgrade dance I'm getting a weird error when I
open a shell through Konsole. Any time I run it, I get an error message that
reads

Font `-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1' not found.
Check README.linux.console for help.

I'm having some trouble finding this README file anywhere and, while I can
still use the shell, it is annoying to have this message come up every time
I launch it. Can anyone point me towards a solution?

Thanks,
Alex

Re: trouble mounting a zip drive on parallel port

2004-01-17 Thread Alex Walker
Alas, I got no message about Creating DISK da0. I have double checked all of 
the connections (my machine is set to dual boot with another OS, and 
everything works fine there), so I know it's not a connection issue. Still it 
just refuses to find the drive even though I have set everything up in my 
kernel exactly as it says in the handbook. Any chance someone else out there 
might have run into this?

I hate to sound overly desperate, but as I stare down at the little green 
light on my zip drive while it stubbornly refuses to work, I'm beginning to 
hear a voice in my head that sounds suspiciously like John Cleese when he 
screamed you vicious bastard! at his car in the gourmet night episode of 
Fawlty Towers. Someone please help me before I start whacking the thing with 
a plant.

Thanks,
Alex

trouble mounting a zip drive on parallel port

2004-01-16 Thread Alex Walker

Here's on of those things that should be simple but is giving me a 
surprising number of headachs...

I'm trying to mount a parallel zip drive on FreeBSD 4.8. I did re-configure 
my kernel to include the vpo driver and I get the following message on 
dmesg:

vpo0: Iomega VPI0 Parallel to SCSI interface on
ppbus0
vpo0: EPP mode
vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5)
vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5)

The errors are a little worrying, but it does seem to be seeing the drive. 
Then, when trying to mount it, I get this error:

mount_msdos: /dev/da0s4: Device not configured

I'm sure there's something very small and simple that I'm doing wrong, and 
I'd be grateful if someone would kindly point it out.

Thanks a lot,
Alex
