compiling buoh comic reader for C-6
by fred smith 06 Aug '11

06 Aug '11

Hi all! I'm trying to build the buoh comic reader for centos 6 and my head is getting tired of repeated forceful contact with the wall. I built it on 5.6 without undue problems, but somehow 6.0 is beating me. (and no, the 5.6 binary doesn't work, at least not without a lot of futzing around, on 6.0. tried that first.) before I give gory details, has anyone already done this, from whom maybe I could get packages? or advice? it wants libsoup. fine, we got libsoup. but it seems to want version 2.2, while what we have comes in libsoup-2.28.*.rpm which seems to actually deliver /usr/lib/libsoup-2.4.xxxx.so. Go figure. The configure script refuses to deal with libsoup-2.4. so I look at what pkgconfig thinks the installed libsoup is, hack the configure script to look for that version and voila! ok, so now to do "make", which chokes on the first (only) file that includes any libsoup headers. it claims it can't find SoupURI, but it's "right there"!!. I've followed the chain of header file directories, heck, I've even compiled that one file with "-E" and verified that it expands to the right code. I can't see why it's complaining! can any of you see whatever the stupid thing is I'm doing wrong? Thanks! here's the diagnostic output for the brave: if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -DGNOMELOCALEDIR=\""/usr/local/share/locale"\" -DORBIT2=1 -pthread -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/libpng12 -I/usr/include/libsoup-2.4 -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/gconf/2 -I/usr/include/orbit-2.0 -I/usr/include/dbus-1.0 -I/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/include -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -g -O2 -MT buoh-comic-loader.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/buoh-comic-loader.Tpo" -c -o buoh-comic-loader.o buoh-comic-loader.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/buoh-comic-loader.Tpo" ".deps/buoh-comic-loader.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/buoh-comic-loader.Tpo"; exit 1; fi buoh-comic-loader.c: In function \u2018buoh_comic_loader_job_new\u2019: buoh-comic-loader.c:205: error: \u2018SoupUri\u2019 undeclared (first use in this function) buoh-comic-loader.c:205: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once buoh-comic-loader.c:205: error: for each function it appears in.) buoh-comic-loader.c:205: error: \u2018soup_uri\u2019 undeclared (first use in this function) buoh-comic-loader.c: In function \u2018buoh_comic_loader_job_read_next\u2019: buoh-comic-loader.c:256: error: too few arguments to function \u2018soup_session_cancel_message\u2019 buoh-comic-loader.c:262: error: \u2018SoupMessage\u2019 has no member named \u2018response\u2019 buoh-comic-loader.c:263: error: \u2018SoupMessage\u2019 has no member named \u2018response\u2019 buoh-comic-loader.c: In function \u2018buoh_comic_loader_job_run\u2019: buoh-comic-loader.c:278: warning: implicit declaration of function \u2018soup_message_add_handler\u2019 buoh-comic-loader.c:278: error: \u2018SOUP_HANDLER_BODY_CHUNK\u2019 undeclared (first use in this function) buoh-comic-loader.c:279: error: \u2018SoupMessageCallbackFn\u2019 undeclared (first use in this function) buoh-comic-loader.c:279: error: expected \u2018)\u2019 before \u2018buoh_comic_loader_job_read_next\u2019 make[2]: *** [buoh-comic-loader.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/fredex/programs/buoh/buoh-0.8.2/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/fredex/programs/buoh/buoh-0.8.2' make: *** [all] Error 2 -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Under no circumstances will I ever purchase anything offered to me as the result of an unsolicited e-mail message.

[Off-Topic] GL Globe
by Always Learning 06 Aug '11

06 Aug '11

glglobe is available in one of the normal repos. It is a globe in colour. d = remove or restore day / night line f = grid g = grid intersections i = date, time and position display m = world cities s = infra red ? t = larger lettering of cities 0 (zero) = restore display to current time - = zoom out + = zoom in Using the mouse pointer and the 4 cursor keys the globe can be manipulated, even turned upside down - that must appeal to Australians :-) home = move backwards in time end = move forwards in time page-up = move globe to right page-down = move globe to left It is fascinating to see how, in the northern hemisphere, the sun never sets on the north pole in summer. Madrid (Spain) begins darkness before London yet London has daylight before Spain. Any more thought provoking goodies in Centos ??? Centos mentally stimulates the brain, something M$ could never achieve ! -- With best regards, Paul. England, EU.

disable control alt delete in gnome
by Jerry Geis 05 Aug '11

On Centos 6 - how do you disable the control-alt-delete function in GNOME? Editing /etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf works for console mode but not for GNOME. Thanks, Jerry

Interactive PXE install
by Kenneth Porter 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

I've got a system (Supermicro P8SCT) that lacks a floppy or CD and it's old enough that it won't boot from a USB stick. Before I scrounge an optical drive to plug in, I thought perhaps I could install over the network, as I see "legacy LAN boot" in the BIOS menu. The guides for a LAN install I've found all want to do an automated kickstart install. Are there any guides that explain how to use eg. CentOS-6.0-i386-netinstall.iso for an interactive PXE installation? I think I understand the DHCP config and I've got tftpd installed on my CentOS 5 server and see the empty /tftpboot directory. I'm guessing I need to unpack some of the files in the iso image into /tftpboot in some special layout and add some files from /usr/lib/syslinux. What's not clear is what files in the image go where in the tftpboot system, and what the menu stanza should look like in the menu file.
