Hey everybody! After a hard disk failure the other night (but fortunately I keep my /home on a separate drive :D ), I'm looking for a good backup utility. I have two machines on a network; each one has a large amount of data that should be backed up (~ 40 Gbs on each), and I have a large external ...

Hey everybody, this isn't exactly a Gentoo-specific question, but anyway... I'm trying to configure Pine to retrieve mail from a remote IMAP server (I'm sick and tired of using Novell Groupwise, which is standard in my university). I've looked quite a bit, and can't find either

This means that the next time you build audacious-plugins the mad USE flag will be enabled, so you should rebuild audacious-plugins, then MP3 playback will work for you.

You were right, but I had to also delete the /var/tmp/portage/media-plugins/audacious-plugins-1.3.3 directory (I tried without ...

Symlinking or copying the libmp3lame.so from /usr/lib to the input plugins directory will not work, btw.

Roger that. :wink:

In my version the MP3 output plugin is called libmadplug.so (WARNING: it's not the same as libmodplug.so!). Just for completeness, could you also add the output of ...

Yep. Nothing different.

Did you enable the mp3 USE flag?

Yeah, here's my emerge --info

Hey everybody, I've emerged audacious and lame, but for some reason I can't get audacious to load the libmp3lame.so plugin it needs to play mp3's. I've tried copying and symlinking the /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so over to /usr/lib/audacious/Input/ directory, and when I start audacious it complains that it ...

Yeah, I re-added sandbox to make.conf after antlr emerged.

I've tried

emerge -C poppler-bindings && USE="gtk" emerge poppler-bindings

and it keeps building it the same way. (I'm not sure the 'USE="gtk" ' part is really necessary, because I have gtk in the USE section of make.conf.) Thanks for the reply; any other ideas?

Hey everybody, I'm trying to emerge evince. Evince depends on poppler and poppler-bindings. I can emerge poppler-0.5.4 and poppler-bindings-0.5.4 fine, but the latter always gets installed without gtk support, and emerge evince crashes because of this. (Somebody might be able to help me with that ...

Fixed it. I removed "sandbox" from FEATURES in make.conf, deleted /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/antlr-2.7.7 and re-emerged antlr and it went through fine. Go figure.

I used the most recent stable version. I found a work around though: see http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-56 ... ight-.html

[ebuild R ] sys-apps/pciutils-2.2.4-r3 USE="hal -network-cron -zlib*" 0 kB


That little '*' after -zlib means "you configured me with -zlib, but you still haven't compiled me with -zlib". So, that is the problem.

Do "emerge pciutils", then, emerge hal.

Executing that command puts zlib ...

OK, I found a work-around (I think).

USE="-zlib" emerge =sys-apps/pciutils-2.2.3-r2
emerge hal

This gets the latest version of HAL in, but I have no idea if the older version of pciutils is buggy.

Unne & i92guboj - Thanks to both of you for your replies!

------
Unne - Yeah, there does seem to be some incompatibility between the current pciutils and hal. I don't see any reason for why hal can't tolerate pciutils built in with zlib support.

i92guboj - Here's the output...

These are ...

Done that; it doesn't work. Equery uses pciutils spits out...

It's listed as unset in equery, but for some weird reason pciutils *always* compiles with zlib support. I want equery uses pciutils to spit out...

I must have done emerge pciutils about a million times. It keeps building it with zlib, for some odd reason. (My emerge --info is posted here < http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-57 ... ight-.html >, by the way.) Any other ideas what could be causing this to happen?

When I try to emerge hal-0.5.9-r1, it complains that pciutils was installed with the zlib USE flag. Since you've got zlib in your make.conf, you might try running

USE="-zlib" emerge hal


Unfortunately...that command doesn't work for me. I have a 'sys-apps/pciutils -zlib' line in /etc/portage ...

Good idea, but that doesn't seem to be it. I did what you suggested, got the same error, then tried removing "sandbox" from the FEATURES in make.conf, and got the same error again. I think the problem is that something is trying to access a nonexistant file ( /usr/lib64/libantlr.a ). Any other ideas ...

I'm doing a reinstall on my desktop machine and I'm trying to put in gnome and all the packages that go with it. While trying to emerge antlr, I get the following error. Any help is appreciated!

You're right; that does work. Thanks! But why isn't that listed as an option in make.conf.example?
