[opensuse] Frustrated building inkscape 0.47, issue should be simple, just need a bit of help.

Hi David I'm just about to complete a build of inkscape0.47pre1 on openSUSE-11.0-32bit. The configure went fine (after I'd installed the necessary libary and include files). Prior to that I downloaded and built libgc. I'll try the same on x86_64 and report back. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (23.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I suppose they could be, but it was never needed in the past, and I definitely do some manual mounts on occasion. On 10.3 if I manually mounted drives, and then switched my network connection**, the mount would persist. On 11.1 the NFS mounts all drop immediately. **Switching my network connection using Network Manager. IP address stays the same. Other apps continue to work fine, as well as my smb mounts. It's just NFS mounts that croaks. I did look at the mount man page and did not see anything that looked like it would help.

[opensuse] Frustrated building inkscape 0.47, issue should be simple, just need a bit of help.

Listmates, I think I have looked for an answer before on this, but can't recall for certain. I'm trying to build inkscape 0.47 on openSuSE 11.0 and I'm running into problems with having libgc.a or libgc.so properly recognized by ./configure. This libgc is the boehm garbage collector from hp: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/gc_source/gc.tar.gz (** This is version 6.8 -- meets requirements of >6.4) It is installed with the normal ./configure --prefix=/usr, make, make install and it installs, among other things: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 849284 2009-07-30 23:52 /usr/lib/libgc.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 700 2009-07-30 23:52 /usr/lib/libgc.la* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2009-07-30 23:52 /usr/lib/libgc.so -> libgc.so.1.0.2* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2009-07-30 23:52 /usr/lib/libgc.so.1 -> libgc.so.1.0.2* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 491964 2009-07-30 23:52 /usr/lib/libgc.so.1.0.2* Pursuant to its install instructions, the path to /usr/lib needs to be in /etc/ld.so.conf, it is by default: 00:55 alchemy:~/linux/apps/gc6.8> grep /usr/lib /etc/ld.so.conf /usr/lib64/Xaw3d /usr/lib/Xaw3d /usr/lib64 /usr/lib However, after the ./autogen.sh (completes OK), the ./configure dies at: <snip> checking for GC_init in -lgc... yes checking libgc version 6.4+... no configure: error: libgc (the Boehm Conservative Collector) 6.4+, is needed to compile inkscape -- http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc Now the strange part is the same packages (gc and inkscape), build and install just fine with the exact same options on archlinux, so my problem here is something on opensuse that I can't figure out how to set so that the library is seen by ./configure. How do I go about finding out why ./configure for inkscape won't see the libgc on openSuSE 11.0? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Mail server HowTo?
by Clayton 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

I've decided to tinker with setting up a mail server. I've never done this before... so it's all new to me. I have a domain I want to use. It's set up with DynDNS to forward all web traffic to my local computer (which has a dynamic IP that my ISP likes to change at random.. usually at least twice per day). The webserver side works great.... my sub domains are responding correctly etc. I've added their Mail Hop Relay service to one of my domains. This should in theory provide MX records, and according to their website things are setup correctly on their side... so now it comes down to me and my local settings... and this is where things are not working exactly right. I've read through and attempted to follow this HowTo: http://en.opensuse.org/Mail_server_HOWTO which in theory should allow me to set up postfix. After reading and following the steps (I think I got it right) I've tested locally by using mailx and: - sending a mail to a regular local user works, and I see the mail arrive in /var/spool/mail/. - sending mail to an alias does not work (I see the bounce in /var/spoo/mail) - sending mail to external email addresses... disappears, and never arrives (at least not yet) Is there some clearer documentation that anyone knows about, or some other info I can read up on? Or any obvious things that I may have missed? Port 25 on my router is forwarded... the Mail Relay is set to use port 25... not sure where to look next.

[opensuse] BASH: Shorter way to do [[ $line == QUIT ]] || [[ $line == Quit ]] || [[ $line == quit ]] && break ?
by David C. Rankin 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Bash gurus, What is a shorter way to do multiple case insensitive tests on a string or variable that would accomplish this: [[ $line == QUIT ]] || [[ $line == Quit ]] || [[ $line == quit ]] && break Basically what I am looking for is some case insensitive way to test for quit or exit without having to define a test for each possible permutation without bringing in a big hammer like sed or the like. I am a bit confused on the test expansion but know things like $line == [Qq]uit won't work. I can do it in case: case $line in [Qq][Uu][Ii][Tt] ) break;; esac But that seems like a clunky use of case. Is there a better way? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] GNOME run dialog and gnomesu
by Jim Henderson 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

I've got two systems here running different versions of openSUSE - one with 11.0 and one with 11.1. On 11.0, I find that if I launch wireshark using the run dialog (ie, ALT- F2), it's launched using gnomesu. On 11.1, it isn't launched using gnomesu. How does the run dialog determine whether to use gnomesu or not?

[opensuse] Kmix, YaST and an explotion
by Verner Kjærsgaard 01 Aug '09

01 Aug '09

hi list, - I'm digging deeper into my (no)sound problem which occured after some on-line autoupdate. - if I go into YaST and search for kmix, I see that 4.2.1-43.13 is installed but 4.2.1-43.14 is available. - if I select to update to this available version, YaST explodes in unfilled dependencies, it wants to DOWNgrade LOTS of packages. So i don't touch it. - eh....has anyone seen anything like this? Second question: I'd like to re-install all sound, I tried the hw/section of YaST, deleted all sound hw and re-fired YaST. It finds the sound hw just fine, but nothing works... Any ideas? -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
