Can't Upgrade Python Through Ports
Hi; I have python 2.3.5 and I'd like to upgrade to 2.4.3. I've tried installing from FreeBSD ports and the oldfashioned way from source code, with the configure make make install dance, and still when I call up my python interpreter it tells me I'm in 2.3.5! Why? I didn't do altinstall! What gives? TIA, Ted2 - Stay in the know. Pulse on the new Yahoo.com.

Re: Can't Upgrade Python Through Ports
Right. I tried that before writing, but I forgot to specify as much. No, that didn't work either. Here are a couple of peculiarities: * I took over this box from someone who didn't know the difference between FreeBSD and Linux. So, he built the original Python in a different dir. * The original python powers several Zope instances. Having said as much, years ago I had two versions of python running, one for Zope and one for everything else. So this should work. Anyway, it doesn't! More ideas? TIA.

Building Python From Ports
Hi; The latest and greatest Python is version 2.5; however, I seem to only be able to build version 2.4.3 from the port. I ran my standard battery of clean-up and get ready commands: portupgrade -a portsclean -C portsclean -D portaudit -F /usr/ports/lang/python but that didn't change things. How do I upgrade to python 2.5.0?

Problem w/ py-ldap Installation
Hi; I've installed the py-ldap from the ports doing the make install clean dance. Everything seemed to proceed smoothly. However, when I fired up my python interpreter and entered import ldap it didn't recognize the module. So something went wrong and I don't know what :( I did get this from the installation. Is it a problem? === Registering installation for py24-ldap2-2.2.0 cyrus-sasl-2.1.22: /usr/ports/1 non-existent -- dependency list incomplete openldap-sasl-client-2.3.27: /usr/ports/1 non-existent -- dependency list incomplete py24-ldap2-2.2.0: /usr/ports/1 non-existent -- dependency list incomplete If not, what is the problem?

wvHTML, glib libiconv
Hi; I need to install wvHTML. It's dependent on glib, which is dependent on libiconv. I'm on FreeBSD 6.1. It has libiconv installed. But glib says it can't find it: configure: error: *** No iconv() implementation found in C library or libiconv So I'm stuck. What do I do in situations like this?

Re: Hell Installing OpenLDAP/Berkeley-DB/Java
I found a different file to build BerkeleyDB and built it successfully: /usr/ports/databases/p5-BerkeleyDB Then I rebuilt OpenLDAP from here: /usr/ports/net/openldap23-server Following the OpenLDAP tutorial, I edited slapd.conf and created an example.ldif file. Then I ran: ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,dc=2012,dc=vi -W -f example.ldif (all correct for my domain/configuration). I was asked to give my LDAP password. When I entered it (exactly as is in the slapd.conf file) I was told that was incorrect: ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) This makes me believe that Berkeley isn't properly installed. How can I test that? What steps do you take to properly install this duo?

Hell Installing OpenLDAP/Berkeley-DB/Java
Hi; I tried to install OpenLDAP, but it needs Berkeley-DB and complained that the version installed was incompatible. I tried compiling it without Berkeley (using GNU instead) but it wouldn't. I tried installing Berkeley DB without Java (for simplicity's sake), but that didn't work. I tried moving that installation to where the ports would be but still no go. So I tried a make of the berkeley-db port but that complained it needed a Java plug-in that had to be loaded manually because of licensing restrictions. So I went to the page it stated, agreed to the license, downloaded it and tried to install: http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/cgi-bin/download?download=diablo-caffe-freebsd6-i386-1.5.0_07-b00.tar.bz2 I un-bzip2'd it, then untarred it, then entered it and unzipped the sun.zip file, and now I'm lost. There are no instructions! There's a README.html file which told me to go to this page: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/install.html but there's nothing of substance there. It only tells one how to install Linux binaries or RPMs, but I'm having to install from source. Good grief! Has anyone been through this crap before? What do I do? TIA, beno2 - How low will we go?

Where Are All These Files Located?
Hi; In installing logcheck, I read the following information: BSD and FreeBSD: You should go to the /etc directory and edit the /etc/daily, /etc/weekly, and /etc/monthly scripts and change the 'rotate()' script function to change the log permissions on rotation. Simply change the line: cp /dev/null $file; chmod 644 $file To: cp /dev/null $file; chmod 600 $file (The above is for BSDI 2.x, BSDI 3.x uses an external rotate function now, just change the mode sent to it from 644 to 600 and you'll be OK. FreeBSD will be similiar to the BSDI 2.x script) However, these files do not exist (at least in FreeBSD 6.1). What should I edit instead? Or, what does just change the mode sent to it mean?

Re: How To Close Ports (OT?)
Well, I did that, and studied other documents as well, and have packet filters running right now. I also did a search of the document you suggested and it doesn't even have the word close in it, therefore, it would appear to not address the issue. From your reply, I'm missing something obvious here. But would you point it out anyway? Thanks, Ted3 Travis H.
