Error: shared library expat.5 does not exist
[Giving this another try, in case everyone was busy watching the
world cup the first time ;) ]
I'm running into a problem compiling several PHP extensions that
depend on expat. They die with an error like the following:
***
=== fontconfig-2.2.3,1 depends on shared library: expat.5 - not found
===Verifying install for expat.5 in /usr/ports/textproc/expat2
=== Returning to build of fontconfig-2.2.3,1
Error: shared library expat.5 does not exist
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/t1lib.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/php5-gd.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions.
**
I have the following in /usr/ports/local:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 158440 Jun 23 11:03 /usr/local/lib/libexpat.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 793 Jun 23 11:03 /usr/local/lib/libexpat.la
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13 Jun 23 11:03

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 157398 Jun 23 11:03 /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so.6
But not expat*
It would seem that fontconfig is looking explicitly for expat.5 and
that perhaps the name of the library has changed?
LIB_DEPENDS=freetype.9:${PORTSDIR}/print/freetype2 \
expat.5:${PORTSDIR}/textproc/expat2
I did follow this advice in UPGRADING, to no avail: Users of expat2
(and its many dependencies) should do the following to properly
update expat2 and all of its dependencies: portupgrade -rf textproc/expat2
Any suggestions about how to fix or work around this issue?

Re: Chrooted ftpd users can't access system time.
Hi I use /etc/ftpchroot to chroot the users but i don't think i should be forced to link a file into each users home directory. That's not only a lot of users but there will also be questions from users about what kind of file it is and what it's doing there. I would appreciate any other solutions, if they exist.

I don't understand what you were originally ranting about, then, You seem to be bitching that nobody guarentees support of FreeBSD as if this is somehow a detriment to the OS, then when it's pointed out that nobody guarentees support for any other OS unless it's hosted at their own colocate, on their own equipment, you then complain that it takes a lot of money for a company to attain the same level of support as this mythical guarentee that you seem to think exists out there. I think your just full of nonsense. I have many FreeBSD servers that I have built on shoestrings on cloney-baloney hardware that are just as reliable as a Rackspace server, and I support my servers 24x7x365 It simply requires a dedication to duty and interest in learning how the FreeBSD OS works that perhaps some people out there don't have. I have seen a number of medium-sized employee companies out there that have CEOs and operations managers and such that seem to think the ticket is to hire 2 or 3 young greenhorns with no experience, right out of a 2 year trade school program or some such, and pay them 25-35K a year. Then they wonder why when a fileserver dies at 2:00am that they can't reach anyone, and when the IT people do come in, in the morning, they start blaming the operating system vendor for having a sucky support staff which is why they can't fix the server. You try making a suggestion that just maybe they might have a more reliable network if they had hired just 1 single experienced IT person at 50-60K a year, as an exempt employee, and have that person carry a cell phone with him, and they look at you like your out of your mind. Then these same managers will turn around and fork over $125/hour for a consulting firm to come in and do major IT projects like deploying new servers, etc. because their own people are too swamped with firedrills to have time to do it, not to mention that even if they had the time they would botch the job. I guess the concept that if you pay well you can get more work and better quality out of fewer and more experienced employees and thus end up with the same labor costs, is a concept that comes pretty hard to a lot of MBAs. I really often wonder what the fuck they are teaching these morons in business school these days. Oh well, as long as there's plenty of them out there like this, the consulting gigs will continue to be where all the gravy is at.

However, the vast majority of apps are NOT cannot ever go down apps, despite what a lot of the line managers in the organizations would have you believe about their pet projects. They can tolerate downtime if it only happens a once or twice a year, for example, even though they will scream about it, you just learn to ignore that. In those environments, if the server goes down hard and won't cold-boot, you FedEx one out there the next day and talk someone over the phone into plugging it in. And yes this can be rather expensive. That is why in those environments, people generally set them up so the servers -aren't- remotes, rather they just get better wan links.

The big problem is that Adaptec has kind of a lock on the SCSI market, because that market is a shrinking market and no company in it's right mind that isn't in SCSI now would start trying to get into it. And Adaptec has always been very unfriendly to releasing programming details, it's a corporate culture thing with them. Just look at a lot of their Linux stuff like their support for sata raid. They waste ten times the effort writing driver blobs and keeping them maintained than if they just released a sample source driver for their stuff and let the Linux maintainers use that as a base. And people reverse engineer their stuff all the time so it's not like it stays secret, not to mention they have bought out most of their competitors so it's not like anyone would have the resources to fuel a challenge to them.

poor mm, vmstat -- flt/ fr peaks -- what does they mean?
I use recent STABLE I lately noticed some memory management related performance problems on my system -- I haven't changed the software I use (apart from upgrading some packages) but I get clicks/lags which playing music, which didn't happen before :( In fact, I've never had such 'lags' when clicking windows/firefox tabs or problems with music since FreeBSD 4.5. I tried to trace this, but i don't have an idea how. It seems there are peaks of faulting, and then freeing a lot of memory. The music clicks are happening about 2-3 lines (seconds) below the peaks. Also, there is a lot of 'fr' --freed pages, but the ammount of 'fre' - free pages does not change. what does this mean? It's not freeing because of forced swapping, because pi/po is 0 almost all the time vmstat says: procs memory pagedisks faults cpu r b w avmfre flt re pi po fr sr ad0 cd0 in sy cs us sy id 4 2 1 887924 76716 5678 10 3 3 6733 617 0 0 1154 11552 5400 18 10 72 0 2 1 887924 76708 71 1 0 0 52 0 0 0 1231 9366 5873 12 6 82 2 2 1 887924 76516 224 0 0 0 202 0 2 0 1245 29414 7338 37 8 54 2 2 1 887920 76512 13083 1 0 0 16187 0 0 0 1242 37314 7983 38 22 40 0 2 1 887920 76384 295 0 0 0 278 0 1 0 1275 56337 8235 16 10 74 0 3 0 887920 76384 72 0 0 0 65 0 0 0 1575 10924 6780 7 2 91 1 2 1 887920 76384 40 0 0 0 50 0 0 0 1782 12263 7128 8 4 88 1 2 1 887920 76384 69 0 0 0 65 0 0 0 1720 10189 7021 17 4 78 0 3 0 887920 76256 12732 0 0 0 15655 0 4 0 1225 9442 5858 29 28 44 0 2 1 887920 76256 155 0 0 0 157 0 18 0 1257 21274 6910 11 6 83 2 2 1 887920 76176 126 0 0 0 141 0 1 0 1248 22010 6824 6 4 90 2 2 1 887924 76172 73 0 0 0 52 0 0 0 1755 10257 7042 28 7 65 1 2 1 887920 76048 42 0 0 0 51 0 1 0 1816 11311 7325 28 4 67 0 2 1 887936 76032 12804 0 0 0 15792 0 0 0 1797 10466 7008 35 29 36 1 3 0 887936 76028 46 0 0 0 67 0 14 0 1816 11688 7352 7 6 87 0 3 0 887676 76416 70 0 0 0 162 0 0 0 1763 10971 7105 13 7 80 0 2 1 887680 76284 52 0 0 0 65 0 0 0 1727 52113 6806 29 20 50 1 3 0 887680 76284 69 0 0 0 50 0 1 0 1770 10418 7171 19 7 73 0 2 1 887688 76164 12804 0 0 0 15672 0 32 0 1763 12186 6998 41 28 31 1 2 1 887688 76164 69 0 0 0 65 0 0 0 1284 10588 6178 5 2 94 1 2 1 887688 76036 44 0 0 0 52 0 1 0 1238 10377 5988 5 6 89 0 2 1 887688 76036 71 0 0 0 65 0 0 0 1261 10256 5929 14 4 82 1 2 1 895776 70236 1845 0 0 0 136 0 1 0 1193 18138 5565 34 8 57 2 2 1 887688 76036 11269 0 0 0 15649 0 0 0 1288 10355 5988 24 19 57 1 2 1 887688 75796 75 0 0 0 79 0 2 0 1451 12141 6548 9 5 86 2 2 1 887688 75796 69 0 0 0 65 0 0 0 1767 11031 7108 6 7 87 1 2 1 887688 75812 40 0 0 0 69 0 1 0 1265 10258 5993 18 5 77 (sorry for wrapped output) Thank You for Your thoughts, m. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can then compare that to the IDs that the amr and mpt drivers latch on to. (The cvs web tree would have that, or you could try posting back that info so that someone with 6.1 could check). It wouldn't be unheard of for Dell to have *changed* which chips they use for a PERC 4/IM; or perhaps there is a documentation error. But if the mpt driver is latching on to the device it must be because it thinks it should. If the amr driver does not recognise the device then what you are suggesting wouldn't work, even if it were possible. Unless there is a bug, then, in general, only one hardware driver will ever recognise any specific device/chip. If it really is the mpt driver which should be loaded, then, as Lowell says, asking the driver author (or trying hardware@) would be your best bet.

Re: mbmom and xmbmon - how to compile WITHOUT_SMB?
Andrew Robinson wrote: Hi everyone, I'm trying to run mbmon, with SMB enabled, but it fails to work. So, I want to compile it without smb, as it seems that some people have had success with this option. All I know is that I have to set WITHOUT_SMB somewhere, somehow. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to do that. I've deinstalled the package and reinstalled it via portinstall, but I no longer get the option to deselect SMB. Can anyone provide a clue? In the relevant port dir make config Or invest some time in reading up on portupgrade and put the option into pkgtools.conf (once portupgrade is installed, of course :-)) then portupgrade -f mbmon would do what you want and would also remember the next time! Can you not just force mbmon to not use SMB? Does a simple mbmon -d not find anything? If it does e.g. # mbmon -d SMBus[VT8233/A/8235/8237(KT266/333/400/600/880)] found, but No HWM available on it!!

hasbrokenint12=1 AND ata.ata_dma=0 -- no, these are real bad for me
I have some blades (from Advent, who by the way, could have been more helpful.) When I got them second-hand, they ran Linux. Which I gladly wiped out. I can only run FreeBSD. Nothing else will work for me. But in order to boot these boxes up I have to do an option #6 at the boot-loader prompt, and use 'set'; You probably know the drill. The thing is, my application is not feasible this way. I need another solution. I tried getting SCSI controllers and disks (and was willing to just use SCSI in place of DMA) but I discovered that I can't boot these blades with a SCSI controller in place. Don't know why, but the machines hang. I really need help from someone who has dealt with these problems and solved them. Now, with an IDE drive, I say: set hw.hasbrokenint12=1 AND set hw.ata.ata_dma=0 (Of course, once I am up, I put these commands in /boot/loader.conf) and at least, this will make the systems work; But so slowly as to be effectively unusable. For example, FTP transfers operate at about 1MB per second and a same-disk disk copy of a 20GB file took seven hours. And while the copy was happening, the keyboard was hung. Completely. If someone knows how to solve these problems, I await your wisdom! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Are hardware vendors starting to bail on FreeBSD ... ?
[deleted] In my case, it comes down to two words: remote administration ... HP is the only system I've yet found that has it integrated as part of the hardware ... You will also find hardware integrated remote administration inside IBM and Sun machines. They both run off residual power. So as long as a single power supply module has electricity in it, you have access to your machine via a CLI on a seperate IP. Even if the machine is powered-off. Sun even offers remote dial in over a modem onto their administration module. It's very good and I've been very happy with it over the years, both with IBM and Sun. But I can't say as much as the Dell admin module... The other selling point for me on HP was the 2.5 SAS drives ... our new servers have 4x72G SAS drives in a 1U space, which means I can do RAID1+0 SAS drives are coming in strong. It's what all new machines will have in the server market in upcoming years. Just take a look at new machines from Sun, IBM and HP, they all switched to SAS drives. They're great, really. But so far I've yet to see 15K rpm in 2,5 SAS form factor.

Re: HDD Geometry Issues
My HDD is an ST340810A 3.31. The BIOS gives its stats as: Cylinder: 19158 Head:16 Precomp: 0 Landing Zone: 19157 Sector: 255 I found the official doc at http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/specs/ata/st340810a.html although I'm not too sure how to interpret it. When I go to allocate disk space during install, it says that a geometry of 77545/16/63 is incorrect and uses instead 4865/255/63. Even when I reset the geometry to 19158/16/255, it says that's wrong too. If I use the entire disk with 'A', I see: Offset Size(ST) End Name PType Desc Subtype 06362 --- 12 unused 0 63 78156162 78156224 ad0s1 8 freebsd165 78156225 9135 78165359 --- 12 unused 0 Somebody who really knows about this stuff needs to write some verbiage for the handbook. What I have read and what seems to work for me is that the geometry on currently modern drives is virtual as far as the OS is concerned and that you should go ahead and just slice and partition the disk and build your file systems.

I'm talking out of my mouth here but maybe the extra storage density used in SAS compensates for the lack of 15K rpm. Well, there are two issues here: access time (rpm) and storage capacity (GB). The access time deals with rotational speed of the drives (rpm) while storage capacity (GB) does not care how fast the drive spins. The 15K rpm drives are nice to use when your application needs very fast access to your storage. On a busy mail server or database for instance. You won't need 15K rpm drives in a DNS server for example. As for storage capacity, it's not really that important for the SAS drives because you really don't need 72GB disks to install a UNIX operating system such as FreeBSD :) But it's still good to have the extra space for your application. But anyway, if you really need storage space, then a SAN is your best bet (assuming you can afford it, of course) EMC, Hitachi and StorageTek include so much cache (~256GB) in their boxes that the rotational speed of the drives is not that important in the end because most read/write operations are to/from this cache. Then again, your problem here is that FreeBSD is not supported by those machines. -- David Robillard [EMAIL PROTECTED] Montreal: +1 514 966 0122 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But not expat*
It would seem that fontconfig is looking explicitly for expat.5 and
that perhaps the name of the library has changed?
LIB_DEPENDS=freetype.9:${PORTSDIR}/print/freetype2 \
expat.5:${PORTSDIR}/textproc/expat2
Because it's a LIB_DEPENDS, the lib will automatically be
prepended to the filename.
The problem is that
I did follow this advice in UPGRADING, to no avail: Users of expat2
(and its many dependencies) should do the following to properly
update expat2 and all of its dependencies: portupgrade -rf
textproc/expat2
You didn't update the x11-fonts/fontconfig /Makefile at the same time,
or it would be looking for expat.6, not expat.5.
Any suggestions about how to fix or work around this issue?
Update your whole ports tree.

Re: Are hardware vendors starting to bail on FreeBSD ... ?
On Jun 29, 2006, at 8:41 AM, David Robillard wrote: Well, there are two issues here: access time (rpm) and storage capacity (GB). The access time deals with rotational speed of the drives (rpm) while storage capacity (GB) does not care how fast the drive spins. There is a third and that is bit density. The reason that that is important is that it can compensate for a slower drive (rotational speed). If a fast drive with lower bit density has to rotate X rotation to get to the data, a higher bit density drive will usually have to rotate something less than X because the data is more dense. In simple terms (these numbers are made up to illustrate this and have no bearing on real numbers except that the concept holds: a fast RPM with lower bit density might have 1GB per cylinder and hence say 2/3 of a rotation might be needed to get data X. A higher density drive might have 6GB per cylinder so needs only, say 1/9 of a slower rotation to get to the same data). This was amply illustrated by some 500GB SATA benchmark I read that had it equaling some much faster RPM drives for access time with much lower bit density. Other factors play in here as well but hopefully you get the idea.

Re: CUPS, USB printers Permission Denied
I just tried /dev/unltp0 and I have the same issues. Basically, I killed all of the jobs, made your change, submitted a test page, watched as nothing happened (it didn't display any messages in the web interface), did a /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cupsd restart, killed the test page, then resubmitted one, and then it mentioned the USB busy will retry in 30 seconds line. I reattached my error_log for today's activities. I will be on the road for the better part of a week, so I will try to help out as much as I can given the circumstances. Thank you everyone for your assistance with this. I found that the usb backend stalled here before actually doing any work. Before I've done any actual debugging of the backend, I suspect that it is being blocked on a status read attempt, though this is only my current guess. Here is a workaround: In printers.conf () you will probably find a line like this: DeviceURI usb:/dev/ulpt0 change usb: to file:, so that it looks something like this: DeviceURI file:/dev/ulpt0 Then restart cups. Cups will not read any status information from the printer, but at least it can print.

Re: iwi-firmware
Prior to updating to 6.1, my Intel 2200 BG worked fairly well using iwi-firmware and wpa_supplicant. Now, the firmware fails to load so I cannot connect. I did some searching and some people recommend installing iwi-firmware-kmod. When I try to do so, it is marked as ignored and is uninstallable. Another suggestion is to use code in /usr/src/sys/dev/iwi but I don't see a make file and I haven't a clue on what to do with that code anyway. Does anyone know what I need to do to get this nic working again? #uname -a 6.1-STABLE FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #1: Wed Jun 7 03:18:16 PDT 2006 Can you be more precise about what goes wrong? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/freebsd-questions/index.html I also suspect that you would have better luck installing the ports if you updated your ports tree. But that's just a guess. Are you using iwi-firmware from ports? there seems to be a perfectly working driver, # kldload if_iwi That's what people suggest you to compile from sys/dev/iwi, but it's also a loadable as kernel module. If it is not installed in /boot/kernel, then it will also be built with the normal kernel build proceedure. Sorry for the lack of details. Sleep deprivation and hardware troubleshooting shouldn't be mixed. Previously, I was using the iwi-firmware port rather successfully, based on this webpage http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/iwi-freebsd.html At the moment, I do have the device listed under ifconfig iwi0 but I cannot associate with my AP. When I go to do a iwicontrol -i iwi0 -d /boot/firmware/if_iwi -m bss I currently get an error message in the /var/log/messages (sorry, can't access the machine to get the message) but I think it was something about the device timing out. Checking the help files for the error messages states the the error message should not happen. When I did the searching, several posts mentioned that iwi-firmware didn't work for them on 6.1 when it had on previous versions. Later I can update my ports to see if iwi-firmware-kmod now has the ignore setting removed, but according to http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/net/iwi-firmware-kmod/ the port hasn't been touched in about 2 months (unless I am reading something wrong). To sorta summarize, these are example steps that I used to take to get on wireless: iwicontrol -i iwi0 -d /boot/firmware/if_iwi -m bss ifconfig iwi0 up wpa_supplicant (args) dhclient iwi0 But now, the first step fails. The device is still present under ifconfig though. My world/kernel is only a couple weeks old, perhaps I cvsup'ed at exactly the wrong time (during some commit)? I cvsup'ed this morning, did a full builld world/kernel and reinstalled iwi-firmware and the adapter can associate again. I haven't yet tried to acquire an ip since I am remote and don't want to lose my connection, but I don't think there will be a problem there. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ftp proxy.
Hello, I have successfully installed FreeBSD 6.0 commercial boxed cds in 2 AMD64 machines. All ports and packages selected and all went well. but some other software that is not installed by default, like Apache, I couldn't get ports to install because the this particular machine was on an inside network. I need to know how to get ftp to use an ftp proxy (on another machine that has a direct connection). Since the machine in question is configured to be a server, I did'nt install the Xwindows softwares. So I need to know what to do with the command line (default csh for root). The other machine does have Xwindows installed so I can use the configuration apps to set it. I'm being a little lazy and not looking at Absolute FreeBSD nor the manual that can be obtained from the same source as the CD set. If a fast and simple suggestion isn't fast and simple tell me to go read the books (again). My bio-chemical buffer is getting a little cranky.. and clumsy.

Be aware that while the riser card has two PCI Express slots, one is half-height, and the Intel NICs (at least the one we received) are a full card.
