[gentoo-user] Failed to emerge sys-devel/gcc-4.4.5

This is connected with the other thread I've written to today, about using my workstation as an emerge server. A complication I didn't mention there is that both make.conf and package.use have to be identical in the chroot and the target system nfs-mounted under it. I must have got them out of step at some stage. Incidentally, apache is wrong to complain of syntax errors - they're errors of configuration, not syntax. Try recompiling php.

Too many apps* I use day-by-day have only Windows version, so I never did switch to Linux :-( There are plenty of games also available for Linux. When I started with Linux, one of the popular ones was xtris. For the people who don't know it, it's a networked version of tetris where, when one player clears a line, or multiple lines, an equivalent number of junk-lines would appear at the bottom of a random different player. In the end there were 2 versions in use. One was binary-only with an ID-code only allowing connections from other binary-only clients. The other one was more open. The reason for the binary-only was due to some complaints about cheating where people added additional keys to do all kinds of different things like: - bounce junk to next player - ignore junk-message - send junk to others - select next piece to be available These, however, were all modified by the actual player. For more modern games, there are plenty that run natively on Linux. Either ported/created by the original developers or ported by a third party. First time I ever deployed Linux for day-to-day work was when I started an IT Training company with my former professor. We installed Fedora Core but replaced the UI with xfce. However, not until Ubuntu Hardy did I finally got serious about migrating to Linux. Currently am still migrating the non-legacy servers to Linux from Windows Good luck with that.

This kind of error is often caused by the parallel make not
quite working. Try running the build like:
MAKEOPTS=-j1 emerge =sys-devel/gcc-4.4.5
In general, whenever you get strange build errors (i.e. that

MAKEOPTS=-j1. Often it will fix the problem, but even when
it doesn't you will usually get a much more useful error.

Nice to know. (I think I'm going to stick with ext4 for now). (BTRFS later...) I have 2 identical 2T seagate drives. The main purpose is to run an php and apache server and use kde (kiosk) to display network status using jffnms (graphical) and postgresql-9. Raid 1 Mirroring for most if not all partitions. Think of it as a station where everyone can view the network conditions, as users, but I remote admin the system. No logins except via the limited kiosk to just view/query the network, or a remote connection to the server. These Docs I listed are dated? Gentoo.wiki.com is finally back up. These 2 docs reference each other http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Software_RAID_Install and http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/RAID/Software Which one is more accurate or the best one to mostly follow? (that's what I'm trying to figure out now.) I do appreciate any and all feedback. James Which guide do you think is better, for my needs? I suspect that a 2-drive RAID1 is a good solution for you. I personally doubt that ext4 vs ext3 will make any difference. I use both myself. I wouldn't personally touch any new file system type when trying to learn to do RAID. Save that for some future date. Unfortunately neither link is responding as I write this, but my recent (last 6 months) experience with the Gentoo RAID documents is that none of them result in a completely working system first time through. (Again, I cannot look at these links right now so please excuse my not knowing about any recent changes.) 1) They are all based on the oldest SuperBlock 0.9 format which, if I remember correctly, is not the default SuperBlock format that mdadm creates these days. 2) I was able to build a SB-0.9 system using the same docs. I was only able to build a working SB-1.2 by also including an initramfs: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Initramfs Pay special attention to note about building certain things static or the initramfs won't work for you. Also, include all the tools you can that will help with debugging why you cannot mount the root file system. My experience is that you won't be able to for the first day and you'll find the tools invaluable in getting it worked out. 3) It might be frustrating, but I'd suggest some testing of the RAID before the actual install. Boot the install disk, build the RAID, then learn to use mdadm examine detail commands to understand then names your RAIDs have. Pay attention to what the name of the machine will eventually be. Consider renaming the RAIDs before the real Gentoo install so that when you boot the real install it can find them. I run RAID these days on almost all my machines. I just got a laptop with 2 500GB hard drives which will become a 2-drive RAID1 system when I get around to doing the work. I hope this response is at least somewhat helpful. Good luck, Mark

[gentoo-user] http-replicator permissions
Hello again list, Will someone who knows please tell me what permissions I need to give the /usr/portage tree for http-replicator to manage it? I've started with chown -R portage:portage /usr/portage but that may not be ideal. TIA -- Rgds Peter
[gentoo-user] issues with apache config
I'm a long-time Cherokee user that is switching to Apache due to a nasty Cherokee bug that I can't seem to work around. I've configured Apache many times (albeit a long time ago), and can't seem to figure out what's going on here. I have a simple PHP app running that lives in some directory, say /stuff/web/app. I then have a vhost configuration that looks like this: Directory /stuff/web/app Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all /Directory The vhost looks like this: VirtualHost app.server.com:80 ServerName app.server.com DocumentRoot /stuff/web/app ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/app.error /VirtualHost When the server reboots, Apache refuses to serve me anything, giving the following error: == error_log == [Mon Apr 04 07:17:59 2011] [error] [client 10.35.22.81] client denied by server configuration: /usr/htdocs == access_log == 10.35.22.81 - - [04/Apr/2011:07:17:59 -0400] \x16\x03\x01\x01\x98\x01 403 273 I'm well aware of the default apache configuration (defined in /etc/apache2/modules.d/00_default_settings.conf), and that the default directory directive has a Deny from all default. However, if I *restart* my daemon with NO configuration changes after seeing these errors, the page comes up beautifully. Also worth noting is that rebooting the server again will put Apache back into a broken state and only after restarting the daemon will things function correctly. Thoughts on how to fix this would be much, MUCH appreciated. I am running out of hair to pull out of my head. :) -james

Re: [gentoo-user] issues with apache config
Hi Pandu, Thanks for the response. What kind of permissions / privileges issues would cause this sort of behavior. ~ % ps aux | grep -i apache root 2421 1.1 0.3 224928 12312 ?Ss 09:53 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -D DEFAULT_VHOST -D INFO -D SSL -D SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST -D LANGUAGE -D PHP5 -d /usr/lib64/apache2 -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf -k start apache2423 0.0 0.1 209904 3884 ?S09:53 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -D DEFAULT_VHOST -D INFO -D SSL -D SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST -D LANGUAGE -D PHP5 -d /usr/lib64/apache2 -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf -k start apache2428 0.0 0.2 438024 8152 ?Sl 09:53 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -D DEFAULT_VHOST -D INFO -D SSL -D SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST -D LANGUAGE -D PHP5 -d /usr/lib64/apache2 -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf -k start apache2429 0.0 0.2 438024 8148 ?Sl 09:53 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -D DEFAULT_VHOST -D INFO -D SSL -D SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST -D LANGUAGE -D PHP5 -d /usr/lib64/apache2 -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf -k start Looks like there's one process running as root, and the rest are running as Apache. /stuff/web/app is also apache:apache. Cherokee has a bug that creeps up on you when you're using SSL. PHP pages will half-load, sometimes completely load. The developers have NO idea what causes the problem. They've got a bug open but apparently they can't find root cause. While I love Cherokee, until this is fixed simple things like a wiki page loading will present the issue when there are graphics involved. -james On Mon, Apr 4, 2011 at 13:15, Pandu Poluan pa...@poluan.info wrote: Based on the symptoms, i.e., works from CLI but fails during boot, I suspect a problem with privileges/attributes.

The changelog was last updated in January 2006. So if anything in linux kernel /proc/ subsystem or the procps package has changed in the past 5 years then maybe you're getting a false positive... You might be able to do a quick manual comparison of the pids in /proc/ to the output of ps -A or something and see if anything jumps out at you. Of course ignore the pid of ls or ps when you're running it. :) If you're suspicious of your ps binary I would do which ps to be sure ps is the one you really expect. Maybe re-emerge procps to replace it, too. The tty of the following user process(es) were not found in /var/run/utmp ! !
