* [gentoo-dev] just a little feedback... @ 2001-08-07 15:51 Tibor Rudas 2001-08-07 16:01 ` [gentoo-dev] Problems compiling gv roberto 2001-08-17 12:23 ` [gentoo-dev] just a little feedback Aron Griffis 0 siblings, 2 replies; 15+ messages in thread From: Tibor Rudas @ 2001-08-07 15:51 UTC (permalink / raw To: gentoo-dev Hi Here is the feedback I promised: - thanks for the help with yp/nis but alas it didn't work. the +:::... entries did not help but switching from pam_pwdb.so to pam_unix... did... I guess I'll have to have a closer look at the pam & nis docs...;) - lately I am experiencing great difficulties in doing an install from the 1.0_rc5-r4 build iso image... It worked perfectly well on July 27th where I did the emerge rsync and the bootstrap. The emerge system followed on July 30th and the machine is up and running... During the last week however I tried to install an identical machine and failed multiple times (and I don't have super bombad racing!). At first even the new August-based bootsrap file failed because gettext-0.10.39 was required but it was not (yet) on ibiblio (this seems fixed today however...). I then bootstrapped from the last July-based file which worked but emerge system stopped with some error message (can't quite remember what it was right now something with shutils I think). Having done this two times I tried to Install from 'portage-20010730.tar.bz2' which I had lying around from some earlier experiments. This compiled to the end but left me in a system missing vital components like grub, start-stop-demon etc.... The emerge on grub worked but it kept searching for /boot/grub/stage1 and returned a "file not found" even after I put the file there.(?) But after the reboot I only ended up in a maintenance console due to the lacking sysVinit tools... Today I again tried the classical approach which found an abrupt halt again in the bootstrapping process. gettex was found OK this time but ./configure complained about an unknown machine type "i685-pc-linux-gnu" -> there is a typo in the new make.conf in the PIII/Athlon section... but emerge system then stops complaining about missing makeinfo somewhere along the way... Am I doing something completely wrong or is portage in a state which does not allow a complete build-install right now. Could my USE flags be the culprit (I remove everything sound-related (no card), gnome pcmcia-cs and only include perl, python, tcltk svga and tex from the stable USE flags. And I use the PIII flags for CHOST/CFLAGS... - autofs: in the startup script in the generation of the pidfile-name the sed-command 's/\//./' should be changed to 's/\//./g' otherwise mountpoints like /something/with/more/than/one/slash is causing problems since just autofs.something.pid is created but the script then looks for autofs.sometihng/with/more.... and fails to start. - xinetd: in the standard configuration xinetd just puts three lines to the syslog complaining about unknown "time-stream" and "time-dgram" and no more services - exiting, just to be restarted by supervise and the cycle starts again. Maybe xinetd shouldn't be started automatically since this currently just fills the syslog. - mozilla: the ebuild builds fine and I can start mozilla from a Konsole in KDE and get some mozilla-messages (no direct error message) but then ... nothing. I can just stop the process with ctrl-c and switch to konqueror/operea/netscape... That were the most important things I noticed in these past 10 days. I am sorry if this is the wrong place to put this and if I'm rather vague on some of the details but I am currently at home and don't have all the details handy. Personally I won't be around for the next 20 days and won't get any answers until then. But then I'm sure to try again since I think gentoo is quite promising! regards Tibor Rudas ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 15+ messages in thread

If that doesn't help after rsync, could you try to extract and install the gv sources yourself, and see if that works?

This all seems very strange, and I can't do much because I can't recreate the problem. If you could send me the entire compile output it might help, and then again it might not. I just don't know what to say :-( One thing I *can* do is simply disable the makefile's operation on the manpage. The manpage is actually distibuted pre-compiled (not latex source or something), so all the makefile does is add a .1 extension and install it. So I'll do that now.

I'm new to Gentoo myself but I'll take a shot at some of them.

I don't know the answers to most of this (probably a lot gets fixed/broken between bootstrap files). However I think I know the answer to the grub problem. First, note that by default Gentoo doesn't mount the /boot filesystem, as a precaution to keep it safe from filesystem corruption. If you want to to post-boot maintenance on it, you need to "mount /boot". The next thing is that grub is searching _within_the_/boot_filesystem_ for /boot/grub/stage1. That means that, relative to the root filesystem, it actually needs to be installed in /boot/boot/grub/stage1. I personally think this could be tidier, but it works. :-) > Today I again tried the classical approach which found an abrupt halt again > in the bootstrapping process. gettex was found OK this time but ./configure > complained about an unknown machine type "i685-pc-linux-gnu" -> > there is a typo in the new make.conf in the PIII/Athlon section... > but emerge system then stops complaining about missing makeinfo > somewhere along the way... I hope that somebody has fixed this. I didn't have this problem with rc5-r4 on Athlon. > Am I doing something completely wrong or is portage in a state which does > not allow a complete build-install right now. I don't know the answer to this either. Portage is definitely in a continuing state of flux, but it's been usable for me. > - autofs: in the startup script in the generation of the pidfile-name > the sed-command 's/\//./' should be changed to 's/\//./g' otherwise > mountpoints like /something/with/more/than/one/slash is causing problems > since just autofs.something.pid is created but the script then looks for > autofs.sometihng/with/more.... and fails to start. This has not yet been fixed.

Maybe xinetd shouldn't be started > automatically since this currently just fills the syslog. The problem here is that xinetd is compiled with ipv6 support, but your kernel doesn't include ipv6. There are two parts to solving this problem: (1) You need a new xinetd, which I haven't sent to gentoo-ebuild yet, but I will sometime today. There are more problems in xinetd than just what you mentioned, which hopefully the new ebuild will fix. (2) If you want to build with ipv6 enabled, you will need to add it to your USE variable. This is an as-of-yet undocumented use option, but the new xinetd ebuild will pay attention to it. > - mozilla: the ebuild builds fine and I can start mozilla from > a Konsole in KDE and get some mozilla-messages (no direct error > message) but then ... nothing.

I'm of the opinion that there should be an alternate mozilla ebuild that just uses the prebuilt binaries (which work!) from mozilla.org. I may create this if the Desktop Team doesn't get around to it first. ;-) > That were the most important things I noticed in these past 10 days. > I am sorry if this is the wrong place to put this and if I'm rather vague > on some of the details but I am currently at home and don't have all > the details handy.
