[gentoo-user] why xorg-server needs an old gcc?

[icephere]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to install xorg-server on a thinkpad T42. The system has  
gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.0.1) already.  But every time I want  
to emerge xorg-server, the emerge asks to install gcc-3.3.6. I don't  
understand why the xorg-server needs an old gcc while the new one is  
already available.

The USE flags used by xorg-server  are

[ebuild  N    ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.2.0-r3  USE="dri nptl sdl xorg  
xprint -3dfx -debug -dmx -ipv6 -kdrive -minimal"  
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics -acecad -aiptek -calcomp - 
citron -digitaledge -dmc -dynapro -elo2300 -elographics -evdev -fpit - 
hyperpen -jamstudio -joystick -magellan -microtouch -mutouch -palmax - 
penmount -spaceorb -summa -tek4957 -ur98 -vmmouse -void -wacom"  
VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx radeon vesa -apm -ark -chips -cirrus -cyrix -dummy

neomagic (-newport) -nsc -nv -nvidia -r128 -rendition -s3 -s3virge -

Thanks in advance!

Best,
Ice

When I remove "fglrx" from VIDEO_CARDS, the old gcc is not required  
by emerge anymore... weird

Probably the proprietary fglrx module is still not GCC-4 compatible.

- From the ati-drivers ebuild, you can see that it depends on
=virtual/libstdc++-3.3*. And in that ebuild, you see that this can be
provided either by =sys-libs/libstdc++-v3-3.3* or =sys-devel/gcc-3.3*.
Why it prefers the latter is not quite clear to me, probably because you
already have the gcc package installed (albeit in another slot).

Thank you very much!

My box does not have libstdc++-v3,  and it is a "Compatibility  
package for running binaries linked against a pre gcc 3.4 libstdc++"

Best,

[gentoo-user] sann-find-scanner can't find my scanner

[Xihong Yin]

Hi,

I first followed the gentoo wiki on how to install USB scanner. After
emerge hotplug, sane-backends, and xsane. I don't have the configure
file, "/etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap". What the problem?

Then I searched the Gentoo forum. I found another USB scanner howto. So
I did all steps required in this howto. But the 'sane-find-scanner -q'
returns nothing.

My scanner is a Canon Lide30. Anybody can help me to setup this scanner?

Thanks,
Xihong

Hi,

Two things.  First is to your problem.  The file you are missing shows
this on my system:

> root@smoker / # equery belongs /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap
> [ Searching for file(s) /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap in *... ]
> media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.18-r2 (/etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap)
> root@smoker / #

You either need to make sure sane-backends is emerged or emerge it again
to get that file.  The last one should be in case it was accidentally
deleted by the person in the chair.  ;-)  It happens we know.

Second thing, always start a new message instead of replying to another
one and changing the subject.  Your email client may not be set up the
way ours is but we track these emails by threads, may be better to
understood as sorted by subject.  The way you sent this email makes it
show up as part of someone else's thread and if someone is not reading
that thread that you replied to, you may not get the help you need.

If you are new to mailing lists, bottom posts are highly preferred and
send as text only, no html please.  I had someone to tell me the same
thing when I first came here.

Hope that helps on both parts.

Dale

:-) :-)
