So now is there anyway to emerge tomcat? Change your system javac to a 1.4 for the emerge of commons-daemon. The resulting class/jar files will run in a 1.5 vm -- since enum and assert (introduced in 1.4) are both still valid identifiers in bytecode under a 1.5 vm. Bytecode also allows two methods with the same name that only differ in return type, which allows generics that only compile under 1.5 (and modified versions of 1.4) javac to work under a vm as far back as (at least) 1.2 -- as long as the requisite libraries are in place. Sun and the JCP have been very good to modify the bytecode specification sparingly, if at all, so that valid class files output from any javac will run on almost all vms.

[gentoo-user] pppoe-status returns the wrong infomation! might be a bug..
I've configued the rp-pppoe following the updated instruction in Gentoo Handbook, and my ADSL modem can be brought up at start up , however, the pppoe-status always returns message says that the PID file could not be found (which is definity wrong!). my network was working of course.. so. I found this issue was caused by the $PIDFILE which is defined in the /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf and read by pppoe-status script. but the comment right above that line says: # NB: Gentoo overrides PIDFILE when pppoe-start is run from the# networking scripts. This setting has no effect in that case. # below is the original definition#PIDFILE=/var/run/$CF_BASE-pppoe.pid # Still wrong after I comment out the line above, so I have to change like this:PIDFILE=/var/run/rp-pppoe-eth0.pidIt works now though, I wonder if this is a small bug, i.e. the $PIDFILE has never been defined except in the pppoe.conf,and unfortunately, the only definition is not correct..

[gentoo-user] QTrouble: static libraries?
I have a QT program that's supposed to run on a server. I never liked the idea of putting all this QT runtime crap on the server just for this single program, so when it still ran SuSE, I just compiled it statically and all was fine. Now under Gentoo, the program complains it couldn't open the display (yes, I'm using ssh -X and other X programs are fine). So I thought maybe it's the switch from XF86 to X.org, can't hurt to recompile with the latest libraries. But there are no static libraries (libqt.a and such) installed and I don't know how to get portage to install them. USE=static seems to work only for linking certain programs statically, not the libs itself. I'm probably overlooking something very obvious... cheers!

What the unicode-use-flag does, depends on the package you emerge. For example while emergeing baselayout, it turns on a switch in /etc/rc.conf - nothing more. On the other hand, while emerge mc, it turns on the support of mc (Midnight Command) for a unicode/utf8-console. And if you emerge wxGTK, the unicode-use-flag triggers the build of the unicode-aware version of wxGTK. So in general, i prefer my console- and my X11-apps to have unicode support.

Bytecode also allows two methods with the same name that only differ in return type, which allows generics that only compile under 1.5 (and modified versions of 1.4) javac to work under a vm as far back as (at least) 1.2 -- as long as the requisite libraries are in place. Sun and the JCP have been very good to modify the bytecode specification sparingly, if at all, so that valid class files output from any javac will run on almost all vms.

[gentoo-user] php-5 being forced to install?
Hi guys, I'm having weird symptoms on my gentoo 2005.x system. The system is trying to install php-5. It says...

Basically, you want to disable all other screensavers. One way to do it is to edit your .xscreensaver file about insert an minus sign - before each program listed. Another way is to add the following to your .Xresources: xscreensaver.mode: one xscreensaver.selected: 1 (I am not quite sure about the second one, it could be 0 instead of 1...) The first command makes xscreensaver run in one program mode, instead of random. The second command specifies the one program to run (c.f. man xscreensaver), the value should be, quote the index in the _programs_ list. But since they recommend setting that value using the xscreensaver-demo program, the man page does not go into detail as to whether the index starts at 0 or 1.
