Re[2]: [gentoo-user] strange MySQL issue

Re: [gentoo-user] where is libnetsnmp-devel? (needed for hplip)
On Friday 22 June 2007 03:19, Allan Gottlieb wrote: Thanks; you are right. I eventually found it too. I now see where I got into trouble. I didn't set the snmp use flag and hence hplip didn't bring in net-analyzer/net-snmp. Is this a bug? That is, should hplip unconditionally depend on net-snmp? hplip includes hp-check, which complained that I needed libnetsnmp-devel. I do not think that this is a bug. If you need information from networked printers, e.g. amount of ink left in the cartridge, or what not, then you enable the snmp flag and all 4.9M of net-analyzer/net-snmp and 5.9M of its dependencies will be downloaded and installed. Now, hplip-check is somewhat drastic in its remarks: == Checking for dependency libnetsnmp-devel - SNMP networking library development files... error: Not found! error: This is a REQUIRED dependency. Please make sure that this dependency is installed before installing or running HPLIP. == Does this mean that ALL flags must be enabled for hplip to function properly? Hmm, not sure on this one. I still have not been able to install my network-attached hp officejet 7310 using hp-setup (it install fine via cups). The trouble is that scanning doesn't work and various network posts suggest that installing via hp-setup is needed for most of the hp tool and for full functionality of the device. Sure, but since your device is networked and you want the full functionality this will definitely require the snmp flag AND the scanner flag. Hope this helps. -- Regards, Mick pgpF10fAGDwXv.pgp Description: PGP signature

Assuming that yours is correctly configured and there are no network problems, I can only point the finger at the testing versions you are running. sigh I was afraid of that... BTW, a couple of weeks ago I *did* have problems accessing Gmail, which I attributed to the gmail pop server. It only lasted a couple of days and since then popping Gmail has been trouble free. Yes, I ran into that too, and the difference was that I couldn;t get there in a browser either, but i'ts different this time It may be worth trying openssl to connect to Gmail on the command line to troubleshoot it, if you are still getting failures to connect.

Re: [gentoo-user] Problems accessing gmail with pop3 using kmail/kontact
Hello, This may sound like overkill, but I've found that the most reliable set-up is to simply configure fetchmail, procmail, spamassassin, dovecot and postfix properly, and just use whatever client you prefer as an IMAP reader. I used to move between a couple of clients, but now I'm pretty much settled on KMail and Gnus. If everything else is configured properly, you'll never face something like this again.

dev-libs/apr-util-0.9.12 fails to compile, so, jffnms cannot compile.
Fails how?
Paraphrased, it said that the Berkeley database was not installed.
Looking at the available packages ('eix berkeley' and then 'eix db')
I figured out that is was because that berkdb is a general system
flag I set in 'make.conf'. So for 'apr-util' in the 'package.use'
file I just removed this flag (-berkdb). I'm not certain what effect
this will have on my system or JFFNMS, if any at all Once this
was fixed using your method or alan's method, JFFNMS compiled.
Now JFFNMS is installed and it's time to configure it and test it.
