I would be interested in learning how to package correctly too. Would save a lot of time and trouble if I didn't have to compile stuff like the R statistical program. If I recall correctly, you need a particular setup (with SunStudio?) to prepare packages for the IPS repo. Bryan On Apr 8, 2012

I'm no professional when it comes to compiling, but I normally set PKG_CONFIG_PATH by hand with export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig (do set your proper paths), as well as LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib. I have also set the system library paths with

Hi all, Yesterday I upgraded to 151a4 on my HP xw8200. The machine experienced four freezes that could only be recovered by powering it off and on again. Now, fmadm faulty lists nothing. fmdump lists nothing. fmdump -e mentions issues with ereport.io.pci.fabric and ereport.io.pciex.fabric. These

Actually in my case it is a complete system freeze. No input, frozen video, no ssh, router lights signal no activity. Today I put in a new Asus GTX 550 Ti and the notices have gone away. No crashes either so far, except for one when I tried to run glxgears... will investigate tomorrow. Thank you

Personally, I would use smartctl. Do a which smartctl to see if you have it installed, otherwise it's in the OI SFE package smartmontools. First get a usage summary using smartctl -h, then you might want to scan for available devices via smartctl --scan. Then pick one and query its info by
