[gentoo-dev] MyODBC

[gentoo-dev] MyODBC

[Peter Ruskin]

Has anyone managed to install MyODBC on a gcc-3.2 system.  I've tried 
2.50.39 and 3.51.03 tarballs; both go through configure OK but there 
are too many errors for make to complete.

I installed libiodbc-3.0.6 OK.  My main reason for wanting this is to 
use MySQL datasources in OpenOffice.

OpenOffice can also use jdbc as a datasource. May be you can use JDBC instead?

Thanks for the tip.  I just tried that and couldn't connect because 
OpenOffice said "No java installed".

I have sun-jdk-1.4.0-r5 and blacdown-jdk-1.3.1-r7.  java-config is set 
to sun but blackdown is the same.  openoffice-bin-1.0.1.

You must also configure openoffice for the jdk you want

How do you mean, Paul?  When I install openoffice?  How?  I did Data 
Source Administration within openoffice, selected 
  Database type: JDBC
  Data source URL jdbc:msql://localhost:3306/
  JDBC driver class /usr/share/mysql-jdbc/lib/mm.mysql-2.0.14-bin.jar
...result:
The connection to the data source "mysql" could not be established.
No java installed!

Openoffice by default is not installed with java support. To enable it for 
your user do:

Edit /etc/openoffice/autorespons.conf
Change the line that says
JavaSupport=none

into
JavaSupport=preinstalled_or_none

Then go into ~/.openoffice
mv 1.0.1 1.0.1-old

Edit ~/.sversionrc and remove the line about openoffice 1.0.1
Run ooffice (now automatically a new installation is performed)
exit ooffice

go into ~/.openoffice
cp 1.0.1/user/config/javarc 1.0.1-old/user/config/
rm -r 1.0.1
mv 1.0.1-old 1.0.1

And you will have Java running for you under openoffice. 

Paul

ps. You could of course also obtain a valid javarc from somewhere else (or 
make it yourself) and put it there

You should NOT have to run a java vm just to get access to a database.  You
really should pursue getting unixODBC, MyODBC working.  Perhaps a bug report
is in order.

I agree on that. Though if you want to use jdbc, the way to go is first to 
enable java.

[gentoo-dev] procps-2.0.7-r6 sandbox violation

[Tom Syroid]

Damn. Broke a perfect record. In 8 months of installing Gentoo, I've yet to 
have a problem building the base system...

Clean install of 1.4-rc1
I've sync'd and rsync'd several times, but the problem remains

The system is trying to build procps-2.0.7-r6 and dies with a sandbox 
violation. While I've heard of this error before, I've never personally 
experienced it so I'm at a loss at to what to do.

The /tmp errorlog show:

unlink: /var/catman/cat1/ps.1.gz
unlink: /var/man/cat1/ps.1.gz

Guidance appreciated.

Best,
/tom

[Tom Syroid]

OK Kevin... thanks for that. I didn't think to check the buglist as I 
hadn't seen any commentary on the user list regarding this problem.

I did manage to overcome the "show-stopper" status, however.

I,
* kept running emerge -p system
* emerged each package individually, excluding procps
* finished off the build
* brought up the system
* then 'emerge system'
* and procps then built without the violation

Best,
