I want to get my new Epson V550 working on Gentoo,
having successfully installed Epson's driver on Mint.

I installed the Gentoo pkg 'dpkg', which handles .deb archives,
& listed the content of the  3  .deb files in the Epson driver pkg.
They cb viewed at  http://chass.utoronto.ca/~purslow/test/
with names beginning with 'v550'.

It appears that the pkg installs a utility 'iscan',
a Sane plugin called 'epkowa', which is not available via Sane-backends
( /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap  doesn't list it),
plus some further data files + a lot of dox.


I've tried  3  methods without success :
(1) install Iscan via Portage & copy the other files in the .deb ;
(2) copy all the files in the .deb  (apart from dox) (list checked) ;
(3) try to run the  install.sh  script.

None of them succeeds in getting the scanner recognised.

There is a pkg  media-gfx/iscan-plugin-gt-x820  for a V600 :
I could take the V550 back & exchange it for a V600
& try to install Iscan + data + that plugin.

Any suggestions are very welcome.



I have an Epson 4490 which is supported by epkowa plugin 
iscan-plugin-gt-x750.  I found that ebuild on an overlay long ago.  That 
ebuild looks much like the ones currently in the tree for newer models. 
In each of the ebuilds I looked at, there is an "iscan-registry" command 
executed subsequent to installing all the files which registers the 
plugin. Perhaps this is what is missing. The registration command 
includes a USB identifier which will differ with scanner model.

[gentoo-user] bibletime segmentation fault

2012-09-15 Thread Gene Hannan
I'm having trouble with the pair of packages bibletime-2.9.1 and 
clucene-2.3.3.4-r3, which were both recently stabilized.  The pair of 
packages emerges without problem.   On launch of bibletime from a 
terminal command, a blank splashscreen appears,  followed in a number of 
seconds by a reported segmentation fault.  Reverting to the older pair 
bibletime-2.3.3 and clucene-0.9.21b-r1 restores proper functionality.  
The newer stable bibletime will not emerge with the older stable 
clucene, and the older stable bibletime will not emerge with the newer 
stable clucene.  An attempt with the testing version clucene-2.3.3.4-r4 
did not make an apparent difference.


I am seeing the same behavior on an amd64 machine and an x86 machine 
that are generally similarly configured.  I'd like to see if anyone else 
has observed this problem, or if I need to be looking for something 
specific to my machines.


Thanks,

Perhaps you need to run eselect cblas after re-emerging?

A recent glibc update has apparently had an effect on wget and its use of 
/etc/resolv.conf.  See http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-810843.html.  I 
had a similar experience in which some applications had no issue with dns, 
but emerge failed to find some distribution files until resolv.conf was 
cleaned up.



[gentoo-user] portpeek and relative vs absolute path

2009-08-10 Thread Gene Hannan
I'm seeing a quirk in portpeek on one of two machines with similar
installations.  Portpeek responds with, for example,

package.keywords:
Could not find file etc/portage/package.keywords

Note the absence of an initial slash.  The program executes correctly
from "/" as a working directory.

The system is up to date, x86 with ~x86 as required for KDE-4.2 and a
handful of others.  Python 2.5.4 is the only version installed, and the
behavior is the same with eselect-python-20090801 or -20090804.

I've tried simply re-emerging portage, portpeek, eselect, and
python-eselect with no effect, and seen the same behavior with
gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r5 and 2.6/30-r4.

My other machine with the same versions of the packages that are likely
to be related executes portpeek from any working directory, as did the
machine in question until a few weeks ago.  Any tips on where to look next?

 Try kernel 2.6.28 if you are using a later one.
