[gentoo-user] emerge R

[gentoo-user] emerge R

[Ian Porter]

Hi All,

I am just wondering if there is an option within emerge that will tell me
which packages need to be re-compiled
[  R  ]

Because I have just updated the wpa_supplicant and now my wireless card is
not working but found out that baselayout, ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant
are all saying that they need to be re-compiled, but everytime that I
re-emerge them
emerge wpa_supplicant, it still says that it is needs to be re-compiled.

I am not able to sort out the problem until next week, but thought that I
would ask so that I have a few things to check out once I am back online.

Cheers
Ian

Soz, forgot to say that the wpa_supplicant is now 0.3.9 and I have tried
going back to 0.3.8, but both do not work.  I am running ndiswrapper (forgot
the version because I am at work at present), but using rt2500.inf for the
windows drivers.  I am thinking about trying out the rtx00 drivers, has
anyone had these drivers working ok ?

Thanks
Ian

try:
module-rebuild list
(and change list to rebuild if you want to rebuild them)

This will give you the packages that needs to be rebuilt when the 
kernel change. But it _wont_ give you what packages needs to be 
rebuilt now.

try:
revdep-rebuild
to see what packages needs to be rebuilt due to broken deps.

recompiled? generally you don't need to "recompile" packages.

yup, I'm using the rt2500-1.1.0_beta3.  Funnily, I couldn't get the
download from the web to work but the gentoo emerge worked, thanks
gentoo!!  lspci for me shows:

$ lspci
0000:00:08.0 Network controller: RaLink Ralink RT2500 802.11 Cardbus
Reference Card (rev 01)

$ lspci -n

It might be helpful if you supply the exact command you're trying to
use, and a sample of the output.  It may be that you should be doing
something slightly different.

Everything will say it needs to be recompiled if you say
 `emerge -p <package>`
however, what you probably want to do is
 `emerge -up <package>`

This tells you there is a new version available.  Provided you've done
 `emerge --sync`

even better would be
 `emerge -upD world`
followed by a
 `revdep-rebuild`
if kernel / gcc / major things like that have changed.

Sorry if you know all this already, I'm kinda guessing as to what you're
trying to do.

Ok, thanks never run that before, but I have upgraded the kernel a couple of
weeks ago to 2.6.13r3 (I think, the latest one in the stable version), I
shall run that once I am back on the PC at the weekend (but without the
internet until next week :( )

I only get Open Office, of which thanks to someone else on this list, has
said how to tell revdep-rebuild not to include this program.

Oh soz, thought that "R" meant re-compile. sorry.

umm.. I am not at the PC at the minute, but I think it is something like
iwconfig wlan0 up
to bring up the wlan0 with the ndiswrapper (I assume ?) and it is stopping
on this, the pc just hangs and I have to restart the pc(button on case :()
have not tried ssh'ing to see if it is just the console that is hanging, I
should have really tried that as well soz.

oh ok, thanks I was wondering why most packages appear to be needing
re-compiling. thanks.

Yeah, I usually do this most days :)

I have done this as well, and only got the OO package, but with the
information from someone else on this list (thanks but forgot your name), I
shall not have OO in the revdep-rebuild list :)

Yeah, thanks, I shall try the rt2500 version instead of ndiswrapper to see
if that is able to bring up the wireless card, btw do you use wpa_supplicant
with the rt2500 driver ?

it does mean recompile, however what your saying is:
emerge -p <package> = compile newest stable version of package

and if the newest stable version is the one you've already got, then it
will "Recompile" it.

I was referring to the emerge commands, but you seem to have that sorted
out now.

> to bring up the wlan0 with the ndiswrapper (I assume ?) and it is stopping
> on this, 

now that you've mentioned it though, if you still want to try the ndis
version and not wait for the rt2500 package, then you have to
1. install ndiswrapper (of course :)
2. load your inf file from windows (I'll leave it up to you to find out
which one :)
3. load it (modprobe ndiswrapper)
4. then set essid, key, etc with iwconfig
5. then do ifconfig wlan0 ... (or dhcp)

OO is fine to upgrade, if a little large.  I use the openoffice-bin
(version 2) and it works great!

no, I've been meaning to for a while, so it's on my list of "been

You should definitely use these drivers - they're excellent. I'm sure 
that once you `emerge rt2500` your problems will be resolved. The name 
of the interface will change from wlan0 to ra0, so you'll need to 
rename your init.d script & edit /etc/conf.d/net or 
/etc/conf.d/wireless

Ok, thanks, I have already done this before because it was working.  But I
am not sure why it is not now, I shall have to check my emerge logs for the
passed week and see what is in there that could effect this. (sorry for
saying the obvious, of which I should have done last night)

yeah that is the version and I am impressed with that as well :).

Cheers once I am back online, I may see if the rt2500 driver works with
wpa_supplicant because that is how I am/was using ndiswrapper with.

Thanks for all of the help

Thanks, the rt2500 will be installed once I am back online at home.

Just to say thanks for all of the help and advice on this problem, once I had 
done an module-rebuild rebuild and also re-emerge wpa_supplicant, everything 
is working fine :). thanks again

I did try to get the rt2500, but
 * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options:
 *   SMP Processors and Kernels are currently not supported
.config file = 
CONFIG_SMP=y

I am going to stay with the ndiswrapper at present and keep on checking out 
the rt2500 driver in the future.

Thanks again

[gentoo-user] emerge R

[Mark Knecht]

Here's one for the zen masters of portage. There is a statistical
programming language called 'R'.

http://www.r-project.org/

Is it in portage? If so how do I find it without all the problems of
weeding through 1000's of lines of useless stuff?

Hi,

It's possible with emerge ( emerge -s "%^R$" ) , but I recommend to
install eix, then use eix-sync instead of emerge --sync. Eix is a lot
faster !

With eix you can search for the exact match with the -e option :

# eix -e R
* dev-lang/R
     Available versions:  2.7.1 2.7.2 (~)2.8.1 {X bash-completion
cairo debug doc java jpeg lapack minimal nls png readline tk}
     Homepage:            http://www.r-project.org/
     Description:         Language and environment for statistical
computing and graphics


or you can search the Homepage with "eix -H r-project"

regards,

Boris

And as far as how I found it, I browsed the tree and saw it in
dev-lang (since you said it was a programming languge). There also
appears to be an IDE for R in sci-mathematics/rkward.

OK, so that depends that I know R is a language. That's probably a
reasonable assumption.

Is there a way to do this with emerge or eix that matches the name exactly?

Yep. The -e option was only down something like 600 lines into the man
page. Once Boris pointed it out it was easier to find.

# eix -e R
* dev-lang/R
     Available versions:  2.7.1 2.7.2 (~)2.8.1 {X bash-completion cairo debug 
doc java jpeg lapack minimal nls png readline tk}
     Homepage:            http://www.r-project.org/
     Description:         Language and environment for statistical computing

However, eix is normally case-insensitive. When used with -e (exact match) it 
is case sensitive. Trawling through the enormous eix man page looking or the 
case insensitive exact match is left as an exercise for the reader.

Yeah, took me a little while.

I have R installed and it's interesting to play with. It's a misnomer
to call it a language though. It's really a complete environment that
draws charts, graphs, applies coloration, interesting stuff. I may end
up using RapidMiner - also Open Source but I think it's not in portage
- as it's more of a GUI environment vs R which is sort of command line
driven.

Although clearly under-developed, there are various GUIs for R. Couple
of links below:
