This is an artifact of the old build system I inherited, which is no longer used for OpenAFS git master; unfortunately, the new code (which uses FreeBSD's standard kernel module building infrastructure) is not directly mergable to the OpenAFS 1.6.x branch, so the release version is still using the old build system. The "proper" way to fix it is to clean the work tree, redo the copying param.amd64_fbsd_82.h file, and then find this part of openafs-1.6.0/src/libafs/MakefileProto.FBSD.in: %-ln -fs ${KSRC}/nfs nfs % %-ln -fs /usr/include/rpc rpc % %-ln -fs ${KSRC}/rpc rpc % which is doing conditionals on the particular FreeBSD version to account for moved headers, instead of a more intelligent version number comparison. Add "-fbsd_83" to the first line ("all -fbsd_71 [...]") and "fbsd_83" to the second one ("fbsd_71 fbsd_72 [...]"), and then a build should get past this issue. However, if you just want it to build now, I think there is an easier fix. (I'm not 100% sure, since there are some ... weird ... things going on in this build system, and I haven't played with it recently.) Edit openafs-1.6.0/src/libafs/Makefile and find the line that has "-ln -fs /usr/include/rpc rpc" and change that to be "-ln -fs ${KSRC}/rpc rpc" instead (preserving the tab character at the beginning of the line). I expect that to let the build continue.

There are two great tools for dealing with problems stemming from the update of a single port going bad: pkg_cleanup and pkg_tree. I prefer portmaster over portupdate because portmaster only uses the data that is there from building or adding port/packages. portmaster probably works better for me because I only update in response to a need or problem. I do not have enough time or computing power to build what is required for a workstation. I am using FreeBSD 9.0 and xfce 4.8. To get the functionality I had with KDE3.5 I ended up with 489 packages. I had hoped for a smaller number but that seems to be the norm for KDE or Gome. The only ports I built were a couple that insisted on installing an older version of perl and/or python. Everything else was via package add. In my experience this model only works near the front of a major release. As the lower level ports diverge updates must be built. Here pkg_cleanup is a great tool for taking a step back. Perhaps building regularly on a weekly basis and updating everying would work. For me after I get a functional system I only add new stuff. I do not remember having to reinstalling something because it did not work. Before someone pointed out pkg_cleanup I pretty completely broke my desktop (this in the 7.x days) just by upgrading firefox and then chasing the issues that came up. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Depending on how you deleted, it _might_ be required to reconstruct the directory subtree /usr/local from the respective mtree file in /etc/mtree. If you _really_ intend to delete everything, make sure you have backups of config files, data files or your own modifications to something located in the local/ subtree (for example /usr/local/etc). > After that i pkg_add -r gnome2 again and now it looks better. Erm... when you're installing binary packages, you don't have to deal with ports at all. > Before i had problems that package-1.2.3 is needed to build an only > package-1.2.2 is installed. Correct, this happens when packages have lower version numbers (not totally up to date) than the respective port would have. That's why it's often a "good idea" to use _either_ ports _or_ packages (even though technically there is no problem mixing them). Again, allow me to mention port management tools. Using for example portmaster, many tasks are easier to perform than dealing with "bare ports". Even the use of precompiled packages (if desired) is possible. See "man portmaster" and its EXAMPLES section for inspiration. > Sorry i cant paste logs, bsd is running on another machine.

Re: ATI Radeon HD5500 driver question
Ok... I tried the xf86-video-radeonhd driver, to no avail. Then tried xf86-video-ati-6.14.3 with marginally better results. Using the ati driver, which reports that it works for the HD5500, Xorg hobbles and writes a config file. When it attempts to start, the log shows a boatload of information stuff, a few warnings, and finally (EE) RADEON(0): Acceleration initialization failed (II) Acceleration disabled After which I'm left with the tail of the log file on the display, but no prompt, and X is still running. That is the only EE posted. Questions: 1. Since the driver notes that Acceleration was disabled, but there are no other errors, shouldn't the driver work in dumb frame buffer mode? (Hoping to get something hobbling along...) Or is this the result of the need for KMS and I'm SOL? 2. Since the server didn't exit, is it actually pretending to run? Shouldn't I be seeing the standard X grey hatched background? Or is the server running, but the driver isn't passing bits on appropriately? 3. The Xorg man page notes that should cause it to exit.

Re: Optiplex 755 RAID 1 logical drive configuration ignored by FreeBSD 9.0-R installation
I used 'hardware RAID' because that is -precisely- how the OP described their equipment. unfortunately this is true - it is DESCRIBED as such. lie is standard tool in todays IT marketing. What are facts: - very few controllers actually have some RAID support. those usually have onboard RAM in substantial amount and preferably - battery backed. - unless you need RAID-5,6 or similar hardware cannot speed it up much. - gmirror/gstripe in FreeBSD is vastly superior to any RAID including true hardware ones - if configured properly. unless you treat single-process sequential read as measure of performance. even graid5 (from ports) is close to, or even outperform true hardware RAID, but CPU load is substantial. - RAID hardware does not allow any flexibility, like partitioning disks and using different RAID styles for parts. very useful. - with FreeBSD software RAID you will be able to access your data in every computer with SATA port. That's simple. And Dell does offer at least one such controller. Yes true. Actually all recently bought servers i have to manage are Dells (yes their 24-hour warranty replacement on place actually work!). And i always make sure no "hardware" RAID is present :), to get best performance. Actually i told Dell marketer i will be recommending hardware RAID solution for Dell when he prove it will actually outperform my software RAID10 setup with same amount of same disks. Still not proved ;) Of course you have to properly configure both "hardware" and software RAID. The cases where true hardware RAID may help is it's battery backup write-buffer that consume forced syncs (database commits etc) when they are common. still if it is an issue it means than database software is really badly designed if it have to sync constantly. But if there is no choice, today there are simple solutions like small-size SLC flash drive or battery backed ramdisk in extreme cases. Further, I, personally, have a fairly similar Compaq machine, which has hardware RAID, with it's own BIOS (including configuration/setup screens). what is the chip that you say it is hardware RAID? I dare to not believe you, but possibly you are right. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

The way it works, you shouldn't get any old ports left cluttering up /usr/ports unless things have gone very wrong. In which case portsnap would be emitting all sorts of error messages and the fact that there was a problem would be obvious. > I tried to compile a programm and it complained about an older version of a > depending package. OK. This is a conceptual thing. The ports tree (ie. /usr/ports) is a set of *instructions* for how to build and install ports. portsnap will update all those instructions in the ports tree, but to update the actual ports you have installed requires use of a different software package. > I deleted the whole ports-dir, did the fetch and extract again, problem > persists still.

A typical session to maintain all your ports goes something like this: # portsnap fetch update (Gets the latest contents for /usr/ports) # less /usr/ports/UPDATING (Check for any special instructions affecting any ports you have installed.

It's not particularly hard to do, although it can be time consuming, and very occasionally something will glitch out. If you wait a day or so and then try again the glitch will probably have been fixed. You'll find updates are more likely to run smoothly if you do them like this regularly -- monthly should be adequate -- plus immediate updates of anything portaudit reports has security problems.) Your original problem -- a port not installing because of an out of date dependency -- can be easily cured by: # portmaster category/example where category/example is the port's directory path under /usr/ports. This will update all dependencies as required before installing category/example.

CURRENT: buildworld fails
Since approx. a week for now, I can not build FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT/amd64 anymore! This happens to be on ALL(!) FreeBSD 10 boxes around here I maintain. Build is usually performed with CLANG, but also legacy gcc 4.2.1 build do fail. The error is always the same, as documented below. I allow to build with "WITH_BSD_SORT" in /etc/src.conf. CFLAGS and COPTFLAGS are set to -pipe -O3 -fno-strict-aliasing -march=native when compiling with CLANG, otherwise the standard is used as introduced by the vanilla sources. What I tried so far: a) build and install kernel -> works b) build and install /usr/src/lib via "make clean cleandepend depend obj all install" doesn't work anymore, it fails with ."/usr/src/lib/Makefile", line 179: Malformed conditional (${MK_NAND} != "no") "/usr/src/lib/Makefile", line 181: if-less endif c) make installincludes from /usr/src works. But it doesn't relief as I hoped. As the error below may suggest, there seems to be an issue with the libstc++ lib. Building ports also fails due to errors refering to libstdc++.so. I feel helpless at the moment since the problem seems only to be sticky with me around here. Do others around here also allow the build of new C++ stuff with WITH_LIBCPLUSPLUS= YES in /etc/src.conf?

Yes, i searched all the forums and read a lot about managing ports and packages. Right now i am stuck. So, how do i delete really *all* ports and *all* packages at once? Is it possible with doing a fectch and extract having the latest ports? I was recommended to use only portmaster and not to use sysinstall after a finished installation.

the system setup menu, the boot menu shows that "freebsd90" is the first (and only) bootable hard drive. Yet when I try to install FreeBSD 9.0-R, FreeBSD ignores the hardware RAID and sees the two separate drives, instead of seeing a single logical drive. good lesson to NEVER use this pseudo-RAID interfaces and use gmirror instead. not only you can make more complex RAID setup, get higher performance from gmirror and be always able to access data independently of "hardware" RAID onboard which is just normal controller.
