RE: Using the newer version of Perl!
The answer you seek has been in front of you the entire time. Since you missed the package message that blew by when you installed perl, which is a common ailment some of us suffer from (you mean there's something important to read mixed in with all that configuring, compiling, linking, and installing nonsense that fills my scroll buffer!), some ingenious port maintainer left the advice for you to read at your leisure in /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/pkg-message. Give it a good read. Regards, Jason Wilson Director of Technology Nobilis Software Babbling Blatherscythe! Mazen S. Alzogbi mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] had this to say: Hi, Perl version 5.005_03 was installed with FreeBSD 4.9 by default. I installed Perl 5.8.x_x from ports (via FTP). Executing perl -v on the console still showing the older version! How can I start using the newer version? Can't FreeBSD start using the newer version too? Cheers, Mazen S.

RE: Problems building JDK 1.4
Babbling Blatherscythe! Chris Meyers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] had this to say: I am trying to build java/jdk14 with portupgrade, and I have run into a problem. After downloading all the necessary patches and the j2sdk binaries and src files from Sun, I ran the following: portupgrade --new java/jdk14 Things went along fine for about 2 hours, and then wham I get the following error: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Can't detect initial thread stack location /usr/ports/java/jdk14/work/control/build/bsd-i586/gensrc/java/util/Curre ncyData.java:1: 'class' or 'interface' expected Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Can't detect initial thread stack location ^ /usr/ports/java/jdk14/work/control/build/bsd-i586/gensrc/java/util/Curre ncyData.java:1: unclosed character literal Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Can't detect initial thread stack location ^ 2 errors gmake[4]: *** [.compile.classlist] Error 1 gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/java/jdk14/work/j2se/make/java/java' gmake[3]: *** [optimized] Error 2 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/java/jdk14/work/j2se/make/java/java' gmake[2]: *** [all] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/java/jdk14/work/j2se/make/java' gmake[1]: *** [all] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/java/jdk14/work/j2se/make' gmake: *** [j2se-build] Error 2 *** Error code 2 Stop in /usr/ports/java/jdk14. ** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa /tmp/portupgrade8248.0 make ** Fix the problem and try again. ** The following packages were not installed or upgraded (*:skipped / !:failed) ! java/jdk14(unknown build error) I did some searching and noticed that someone else posted the exact same problem a couple weeks ago, but unfortunately no one replied to his problem. Has anyone solved this, or know what I should do to fix the problem? Here's some more info that may be helpful: port: jdk-1.4.2p6_4 uname -mp: 5.1-RELEASE-p2 i386 Thanks for any help, Chris p.s. sorry for the long lines in the error I know it flies by rather quickly, but paying attention while the Makefile flies by never hurts. -- To build JDK 1.4.2 port, you should have linux emulation -- enabled in the kernel and linux procfs (linprocfs) filesystem -- mounted. I had a failure in just about the same spot, if I recall correctly. Sun has a linux release for the jdk, but no FreeBSD release. In order to build a native compile of the jdk on FreeBSD, the linux build is used to compile it. Hence, linux emulation is require for the build phase. You can go ahead and remove the linux emulation ports after you're done with the build if you like. Part of the build process from new I believe installs the necessaru linuxbase port, if they're not there already. What it doesn't do is load the kernel module and mount the linprocfs filesystem for you - which is where my failure happened, and probably yours as well. So... Granted that you have the linux ports installed (pkg_info linux_base, or if you like waiting... portversion | grep linux_base), load the linprocfs kernel module and mount a linprocfs file system: kldload linprocfs mount -t linprocfs linprocfs /compat/linux/proc (or, add a linprocfs entry with the above mountpoint to your fstab and do a mount linprocfs) Now try rebuilding the jdk14 port.

RE: Move to insert here mail server? WAS Re: Sending mail gets'Relaying Denied' from off network.
We all have our preferences. If you're looking for a Turn-Key solution, Courier-MTA or Mail Toaster set-ups are damn fine. If you're up for the learning experience, which will broaden your knowledge of how all the pieces fit together, below is my open-ended recommendation: Postfix (the mail/postfix port) with MySQL or Postgres as a configuration backend. There are a lot of examples of how to do this with MySQL on the Postfix webpage (www.postfix.org) which can be easily adapted to Postgres if you so choose. Cyrus as a POP3/IMAP server, with Web-Cyradm (see mail/cyrus-imapd22 and www.web-cyradm.org) or... Dovecot as a POP3/IMAP server, which I've found to be smokin fast and fairly easy on the memory load (mail/dovecot) or... As I was digging through the ports, DBMail looks interesting as well (mail/dbmail). You may also want procmail (mail/procmail) or maildrop (mail/maildrop) for delivery. SpamAssassin for filtering (mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin) and possibly Amavis-new (security/amavis-new) with ClamAV (security/clamav). With this setup, you could let Amavis-new do both your SpamAssassin and AV scanning. Also, ClamAV is but one choice in the Virus scanning choices in ports/security. If going the Postfix route, it is recommended by the author to avoid MailScanner. As for webmail, everyone has their own opinion as to which one they like best. I've been a fan of IMP so I'll advocate the Horde Framework + IMP. If you'd like any additional web-workgroup features, adding calendaring (Kronolith), contacts (Turba), or any other features is a snap. I know it's not down to the wire specific, but with the exception of the Turn-Key solutions, a mail server is a sum of its parts as well as the child of it's admin (Daddy, could I have 50 dollars for more RAM please).

FreeBSD and Best Practical RT
Forgive me if I'm addressing the wrong audience here, but I posted this to the RT list about a month ago and got no response, so I thought maybe someone who knew FreeBSD and Perl a bit more intimately might be able to shed some light on this for me. I was going through the install of rt 3.0.7_01 and it seems I came up against a wall. I was able create/modify/manage tickets/queues/users from the web interface, but whenever I submitted a message via e-mail, I kept seeing the same error message in my mail log file: MIME::Parser: can't open tmpfile: Invalid argument I'm guessing that this is a permission issue somewhere with needed to open up a temporary file somewhere when processing the attachment, but where I can't seem to locate. I dug around in the archive and found a message about modifying one of the modules where the tmpfile call is made. Modifying the sub _SetupMIMEParser function by adding a $parser-tmp_to_core(0) call after the $parser-output_to_core(0) call keeps the error from happening and makes e-mail communication with RT work. So the question - can someone point me in the right direction as to why RT, or more specifically MIME::Parser, is having problems opening a tempfile when processing e-mails? Fixing the problem is one thing - knowing why is another... can anyone shed some light on this for me? System Info: FreeBSD 5.0, Perl 5.8.0, Required Perl Modules up to date as of December 10th, Apache 1.3.29, mod_perl 1.29 statically compiled into Apache. Thanks in advance.
