missing quotes in compile parameters when building X apps on FC2
by Lennert Buytenhek
Hi,
I was having a lot of trouble building certain packages that use xmkmf
on my ARM port of FC2. But it appears that those packages have the
same trouble on the 'official' x86 port of FC2, at least on my two
workstations.
For example, try rebuilding Canna on a stock FC2 install:
./configure --prefix=/usr
checking for gcc... gcc -m32
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
I check config.log and see:
configure:1671: gcc -m32 -O2 -pipe -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/X11R6/include -Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -DXVENDORNAME=The X.Org Foundation -DXVENDORNAMESHORT=X.Org conftest.c >&5
gcc: X.Org: No such file or directory
gcc: Foundation: No such file or directory
There should be some quotes there -- where did they go?
Anyone else seen this happening?
cheers,
Lennert

error in driver disk (sata_nv)
by matt whiteley
The current rawhide kernel (and all since 2.6.6) will not boot on my
machine since the module for sata_nv is not loaded. I hoped someone
with more experience in this could help me out. I have two questions.
1) Is something wrong with this module that makes it unincluded when
other sata modules make the cut. For instance should I be concerned
about my data integrity while using it?
2) I have attempted the creation of a driver disk. Anaconda finds it
and allows me to choose the module and states "loading sata_nv" but it
doesn't actually load it. Is someone more familiar with driver disks
that can see my mistake? This was my first attempt and may have
something dumb in it.
http://www.cat.pdx.edu/~mattw/sata_nv/
Some ideas I had towards mistakes:
-do you still need 2.6.8-1.541BOOT ?
-uname -p in anaconda returned 'unknown' do I need kernel/unknown/module.ko ?
-it was suggested that I may need the libata and scsi-mod modules in
the cgz, but the examples I saw did not include their dependencies
-improper syntax in text files?
-/modules/module-info exists now during anaconda, is this replacing modinfo ?
thanks,

thunderbird, IMAP, and STARTTLS
by Paul Iadonisi
This is probably an upstream problem, but I'm just putting my feelers
out to see if I'm missing something, or thunderbird is missing something
I consider absolutely essential. And that's what my subject states.
Thunderbird (and Mozilla-Mail, for that matter) doesn't seem to support
STARTTLS for IMAP. No, I'm not talking about IMAPS (port 993), but
honest to goodness STARTTLS over port 143 like it should.
So is it me, or is thunderbird really lacking in this area?

Yum .hdr files massive
by Phil Anderson
Hi,
Is there any reason why the yum header files (.hdr) are about the same
size as the RPM files?
e.g.
[pza@hallucination development]$ ll headers/thunderbird-0.8.0-4.i386.hdr
packages/thunderbird-0.8.0-4.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11108767 Oct 9 03:27
headers/thunderbird-0.8.0-4.i386.hdr
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11109047 Oct 9 03:27
packages/thunderbird-0.8.0-4.i386.rpm
[pza@hallucination development]$ du -s *
412296 headers
412320 packages
940 primary.xml.gz
6844 primary.xml.gz.0de5a02528ed14facfc0eaf9c7060209.pickle
8 repomd.xml
I thought the idea of the header files was to get all the important info
from without downloading the whole rpm?
Anyone know what is going on here? Keeping up with the development
repositlry is draining my monthly download quota, as i'm downloading
twice what is really required.

yum log?
by Richard Hally
My yum log has one entry in it "09/20/04 00:32:20 Updated: yum
2.1.3-1.noarch" and that is all! The problem is that I have been using
yum to keep up with rawhide. Where do I file this bug, redhat bugzilla
or is there a more appropriate place for it?

Re: Default browser of FC3?

I think we need to look at the browser situation from a different
angle. Perhaps a browser tightly integrated into gnome and used for
Internet surfing may be a bad idea. Aren't the biggest problems related
to MS, security, and stability the fact that the browser is synonymous
with the UI? Now while I understand that these problems aren't exactly
the same, but what's to stop it from going in that direction?
Personally, I like the fact that my browsing experience is separated
from the desktop, and I use Firefox on win32 because I don't have to
worry about the browser bringing down the desktop. I think it would be
more beneficial to have a small footprint html rendering engine built
into the UI for simple tasks (help, external calls, etc..), and leave
the full-on Internet surfing to a dedicated browser. Besides, what good
is it to have two main gtk browsers based on the same rendering engine?
It leads to forked ideas and halved resources, as well as less
acceptance.
<br>
Mozilla was the standard, but the project team did say that Mozilla
should not be used as a browser. Mozilla was just to be a base, and
since Firefox was their choice for the frontend of the engine, it is
fitting that we should support it as the default. As for choice, does
that mean that <b class="moz-txt-star"><span
class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>every<span
class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> browser be installed by default?
Choices are only truly made once there is an understanding, and for new
users, we should point them in the direction of the biggest acceptance,
as well as where the majority of the support lies.
