flex package marked as fc6 and no flex-devel?
by Steven Haigh 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

Hi all, I'm in the middle of setting up a build environment for OpenWRT and it looks like the packages need flex. Looking at the CentOS repositories, it looks as though the flex package is tagged as fc6 - it also looks like there is no flex-devel package at all. Does anyone know what the go is here? Available Packages Name : flex Arch : i386 Version: 2.5.4a Release: 41.fc6 Size : 124 k Repo : base -- Steven Haigh Email: netwiz(a)crc.id.au Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897

Postgres Config File (eg: PGDATA)
by Ow Mun Heng 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

Hi guys, need some clarification on whether there is a config file sourced by the init script to determine where PGDATA is located. Right now, it seems like it's not sourced from anywhere by located on the init file itself. Appreciate if you guys can let me know if this is the correct place for altering it.

PHP5/CentosPlus big mess.
by David Mackintosh 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

Ok, so if you tuned in last time, I couldn't make the installation/upgrade of PHP5 from the Centos4 CentOS Plus repository work. Not one to be easilly dissuaded, I shapened my shovel and dug myself a hole. So using the exclude= lines in the repository config file backfired big time: even if I excluded the exclude= lines, yum continued to exclude the files on those lines, and only deigned to update three php files. Thus, my user complained that the mysql pieces were not there. So what I did was install CentOS 4 fresh into a VM, update it, then I just did a: # yum --enablerepo centosplus --exclude php-pecl-ssh2 --exclude php-eaccelerator --exclude php-pear-Image-GraphViz --exclude php-pear-PHPUnit2 install php php* (see the explanations for the --excludes on http://wiki.xdroop.com/space/CentOS/4/Updating+to+PHP+5) Please with my illusion of progress, I then copied the RPMs from the local cache to my target machine, and installed them with # rpm -Uvh --nodeps --replacefiles *rpm The --nodeps was because some other package not otherwise updated depended on the previous version of php-pear, and the --replacefiles was because rpm was complaining that some file owned by mysql-4 conflicted with the mysql-5 package even though it was going to be "upgraded". Now, my users are complaining about errors like: [28-Sep-2007 10:32:29] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/fileinfo.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/fileinfo.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 [28-Sep-2007 10:32:29] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/apc.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/apc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 [...repeat for each file in /usr/lib/php/modules/...] However, those "files" are there: # ls -l /usr/lib/php/modules/fileinfo.so /usr/lib/php/modules/apc.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 75652 Nov 24 2006 /usr/lib/php/modules/apc.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10580 Nov 24 2006 /usr/lib/php/modules/fileinfo.so I don't know anything about how to get php to show these errors, since the simple phpinfo.php file works (but admittedly it doesn't really do anything). Can anyone point me in the right direction, or perhaps offer me other directions in which to dig? -- /\oo/\ / /()\ \ David Mackintosh | dave(a)xdroop.com | http://www.xdroop.com

RPM package wish list
by mark pryor 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

hello, Does our beloved Centos project have a page where one can request that an RPM package be built, especially for C5? How about alerts when those requests have been satisfied? I know about 3rd party repos like rpmforge, epel, and kbextras. I can search those in YUM. Centos seems to have specialized as a server OS in the past, but my experience is that it is an up and coming desktop/workstation OS too. Many folks might like to see packages built that are more Desktop oriented, which are not available in upstream, nor in the 3rd party repos. thanks for your info, Mark --------------------------------- Moody friends.

rootpw and graphical mode?
by semi linux 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

Is there some kind of caveat to using the rootpw --iscrypted directive and then specifying a graphical install? I always seem to get the prompt coming up... If I remove the graphical and do a text install, it works fine and if I remove the --iscrypted and put a plain-text password in there, it works as well. Any suggestions? - G

Sound problems on envidia 6510 in Compaq SR5110NX
by Chuck Mattern 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

I've go a Compaq Presario (SR5110NX) that I've loaded CentOS 5 on and all is well except for the sound card. I understand that OSS supports the chipset but it's not being detected an loaded properly and I've invested a significant amount of time already. I've probably got an old supported card lying around here somewhere but I hat to give up on the principal. I would rather not download the proprietary drivers as that will create a dependency when the kernel is upgraded and I'm shipping this off to a remote law office where I'd like them to be a little more self sufficient than having to have me log in and recompile each time they upgrade a kernel. Any experience or advise with this would be appreciated. Regards, Chuck
