Re: apt-get (was [SLE] Evolution 1.0.3)
by Richard Bos 02 Apr '02

Hi Stefan, there are more people having a problem with the libodbc libraries. Don't know why, looks to me that they are not realy well packed. Apt is very very strict about dependencies, that is why it is possible that you have no problems using rpm. Though you may not see it this way at the moment, but the very strict dependency checking is an advantage of apt and at the end for the user. It requires that rpm providers are delivering very well packaged rpms.... So that you won't run into these kind of problems in the future, that you've right now. I'm getting the same over here btw ... ;) No let's see what is possible: libodbc and libodbccinst are part of the unixODBC pkg. Do you have this package installed. Check with rpm -ql unixODBC grep libodbc - Well I have. dar:/dist/suse-7.2> zgrep libodbc.so AptContents.gz | tr -s " " usr/lib/libodbc.so Applications_Databases/unixODBC usr/lib/libodbc.so.1 Applications_Databases/unixODBC usr/lib/libodbc.so.1.0.0 Applications_Databases/unixODBC dar:/dist/suse-7.2> zgrep libodbcinst.so AptContents.gz | tr -s " " usr/lib/libodbcinst.so Applications_Databases/unixODBC usr/lib/libodbcinst.so.1 Applications_Databases/unixODBC usr/lib/libodbcinst.so.1.0.0 Applications_Databases/unixODBC Let's move over to investigate the java2 pkg itself: rpm -qp --requires /dist/suse-7.3/full-names/i386/java2-1.3.1-47.i386.rpm | grep -E "libodbc.so|libodbcinst" - this gives: libodbc.so libodbcinst.so Let's see what unixODBC provides: rpm -q --provides unixODBC | grep -E "libodbc.so|libodbcinst" libodbc.so.1 libodbcinst.so.1 dar:/usr/lib # ls -l libodbc.so libodbcinst.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct 20 21:17 libodbc.so -> libodbc.so.1.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Oct 20 21:17 libodbcinst.so -> libodbcinst.so.1.0.0 Looks to me that the java2 package should require the libodbc.so.1.0.0 and libodbcinst.so.1.0.0 packages. I wunder how the links are being made, there is no (post) script delivered with the unixODBC pkg. Solution just install java2 with rpm, if you need to download first execute the following: apt-get -dy install java2 (-dy: download (only) = yes) Okay there you have it. Incorrect packaging...

Building PHP-4.1.2 with SuSE installed MySQL
by Drew J. Como 02 Apr '02

02 Apr '02

All, I am having a problem building the PHP modules for Apache using the --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql switch on the configure line. I point the /path/to/mysql to the path, but the configure script tells me that it is unable to find the headers. So this brings up my question... What is it looking for and what path?? ============================================ Drew J.

Open Office installer do not complain that something is missing. I have rebooted X with gnome instead of KDE, but problem remain. Thanks in advance for any suggestion. Andrei

how to control which ethernet interface inetd uses
by Raymond Fung 02 Apr '02

02 Apr '02

Dear all, My SuSE 7.2 box has two LAN cards installed. When I configure it to run ftp service, "inetd" binds to one LAN interface only, while I need to access it through another one. Anyone can give me hints on how should I configure it instead ? Thanks in advance, Raymond Fung.
