And I think there are sites using it now. 19:00:25 miguel: davb is right. Your coordinator is very misinformed. 19:00:52 miguel: Check openacs.museatech.net for an OACS 4 site 19:00:58 BTW, chatzilla is pretty cool. 19:01:03 (that I know of, I'm sure there are others) 19:01:23 miguel: Also etp.museatech.net 19:02:18 BTW ? chatzilla could you give me whole url? 19:02:35 its part of Mozilla. 19:02:47 he says that there are packages missing in OACS 4.x 19:02:50 http://www.mozilla.org 19:02:51 C: http://www.mozilla.org from davb 19:03:06 he thinks that i should remain using OACS 3.x because maybe in the future 19:03:21 our group will need to port some packages missing in version 4.x 19:03:33 miguel: That is true, but everything from ACS/Tcl that existed is available for Oracle. Some packages are not ported to Postgresql. 19:04:02 miguel: before thinking out that check with Don Baccus, there are people working on some of them. 19:04:54 working on what? 19:05:28 there is a group of us working on ACS 4.x so they think there must be one who knows really well version 3.x in the case 19:05:33 miguel: What packages will you need for your application? 19:05:49 of any need of porting packages 19:06:02 ?? 19:06:18 well i dont know, he didnt mention which ones 19:06:32 i presume he doesnt even know which ones could be missing 19:07:43 ok guys i will give you a general idea 19:07:52 i am the only one who is working with OACS 19:08:03 the rest of people is working with ACS 4.x 19:08:11 It would be a lot smarter to look at the packages that OACS 4 already has ported (a lot) and see if they fit your needs. Most likely all your current needs are met but the already-ported packages, but if there are any packages on 3.x that you need, port it to 4.x 19:08:49 well it seems he wants to do it the hard way 19:08:56 he wants me to learn 19:09:05 OACS 3.x 19:09:14 miguel: I think that you should post your questions to the bboards to get more opinions, since obviously ours is not sufficing. 19:09:26 and when they will migrate from ACS 4.x to OACS 4.x if they have problems with some packages 19:09:40 they will port them from OACS 3.x 19:10:11 your opinion is really valuable for me. Really guys 19:10:41 its just that i want to give reasons to my coordinator 19:10:53 to work directly with OACS 4.x 19:11:10 he says that OACS 4.x even doesnt currently work with Oracle and PG 19:11:33 he says literally: "he WILL work with PG and Oracle" 19:12:10 i hope you guys are not getting upset with my questions 19:12:25 it just that seems that what i have told him so far doesnt mean a thing for him 19:12:27 ACS 4 is the one that only works with Oracle. OACS 4 works with Oracle and PG 19:12:43 currently? not in the future? 19:12:54 Currently 19:13:02 all packages? 19:13:22 Not all packages have been ported, but the vast majority have. 19:13:25 how many packages could you say more or less are missing in OACS 4.x? do you have any idea 19:13:29 ? 19:13:41 and you can use them all in PG? 19:13:44 miguel: Look on the CVS tree. You can answer that question by yourself. 19:14:02 could you give me that url please 19:14:02 ? 19:14:22 No. It's not a URL. It's a CVS repository. You need CVS to look at it. 19:15:25 the CVS of the openacs.org ? 19:15:39 sorry i am not familiar with CVS 19:16:57 brb. rebooting our server. 19:25:33 IMAP mail in Mozilla is still not 100% 19:31:38 miguel: Have you looked at the OACS 4 status document? 19:32:00 no i am trying to connect to the server 19:32:13 i dont want to keep on annoying with my newbie questions :) 19:33:54 i dont know why but the connection to the openacs server is really slow today 19:38:25 It is indeed 19:39:06 ok :) 19:46:39 where could i get that status document? in the CVS tree? 19:47:35 miguel: You need to start browsing through the openacs.org website. There's a link right at the top of all pages saying "OpenACS 4.x". From there you can find the link to the status documents 19:47:50 Notice that the status document is most likely not super-duper-up-to-date 19:48:31 ok ;) 19:48:45 i am actually trying to browse the openacs 19:48:49 From the /4/ pages you can also browse the CVS archives (I had forgotten about that) 19:50:28 bbl 19:50:29 davb has quit ("ChatZilla 0.8.5 [Mozilla rv:0.9.7/20011221]") 20:11:22 roberto i have been reading the status doc 20:11:39 and i dont understand it very well, all the core modules are still on the testing phase? 20:12:02 That means that we haven't released it yet. That's all. 20:12:32 miguel: You should just install OACS 4 and see for yourself if it's stable enough for you or not. 20:12:49 ok i think i will do it 20:13:02 by the way i just want to work on the part of bboard 20:13:14 i want to have my own forum for my small intranet 20:13:36 Some significant improvements were made in bboard lately 20:14:04 like which ones? 20:14:30 anyway i just have to grab the latest nightly tarball of the CVS to install OACS 4.x? 20:25:06 miguel: Read the install doc from openacs.org/4/ 21:08:06 ok 21:08:45 roberto i just want to tell you that i believe you when you say that it should be better 21:08:52 to work with version 4.x 21:08:59 but my coordinator doesnt 21:09:31 that's fine 21:09:55 it really freeks me out that i will have to work twice, just because he is misinformed 21:11:29 anyway i just want to comment you that i will just work with PG. Its that not a problem for instance for using the bboards in version 4.x? 21:12:34 no 21:13:08 openacs.museatech.net uses bboard with PG 21:14:15 ok i guess that i will have to learn version 3.x as well at the same time as version 4.x just because my coordinator wants me to remain working with 3.x 21:14:36 but i will also develop the bboard with version 4.x 21:15:03 anyway ive got his email, if something goes wrong i will send him back his email 21:15:27 and also the today´s log 21:19:56 whats that museatech site for? 21:27:16 This is the site that will become openacs.org in the near future 21:28:29 ok 21:28:30 i see 21:28:50 openacs.org now it works using openacs v 3.x? 21:37:13 yes 21:37:24 * rbm goes home to work on his second job 21:37:27 unmoo for now 21:38:14 ok see you then 21:39:40 davb (~chatzilla@alb-24-58-160-135.nycap.rr.com) has joined #openacs 21:42:33 wb dave 21:43:44 k2pts (~nkd@adsl-168-174.cytanet.com.cy) has joined #openacs 21:46:32 Hi k2pts 21:46:50 hey 21:47:34 does anyone know what happened with the pg-7.2b4 bug? 21:48:29 sorry, no. 21:49:21 it's still not installing 21:49:25 the recursive sql function one? 21:49:38 i saw some of don's posts to pg-hackers 21:49:49 it looked like it wasn't resolved. 21:51:04 * hazmat digs through his mail archive 21:53:19 looks like don posted two emails on the dec 17th regarding problems, no responses. 21:53:47 yeah, i've seen that. 22:07:40 anlater (~antonio@212.34.222.62) has joined #OpenACS 22:10:43 4[12anlater4] 1where are you from? 22:10:51 italy 22:10:59 ok 22:11:05 and you? 22:11:12 you are not a guy in greenpeace are you? 22:11:16 from spain 22:11:22 bienvenutto 22:11:28 no ciao 22:11:34 miguel 22:12:07 ok 22:12:18 what do you use openacs for? 22:13:08 ...

22:58:27 hint: what is -l and -L 22:59:02 -L is the path of library 22:59:10 yes 22:59:18 -l is the "name" of library? 22:59:37 -l means "find and include this lib" 22:59:41 then gtk lib is upper then X11? 23:00:03 see, that part I'm not as sure of 23:00:05 but 23:00:15 where is libX11.*? 23:00:21 but the same have success under other machine... 23:01:17 /usr/X11R6/lib/ /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/ 23:02:07 libc5?? old stuff :) are you building the app to run under libc5? 23:02:27 no 23:03:00 if -yes-, then /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/ is the relevent path... otherwise /usr/X11R6/lib/ is 23:03:06 rpm -qf /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libX11.so.6 23:03:06 file /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libX11.so.6 is not owned by any package 23:03:23 no it is not rilevant 23:03:54 but maybe: /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/ 23:04:16 is rilevant.. then I have to change the path? 23:04:38 now... since gcc's -L and -I have their effect depending on the -position- of the parameter, then the question becomes: 23:05:02 how will the linker find -lX11? 23:05:20 it will, in one of two ways: 23:05:21 under ld.so.conf! 23:05:41 so I should change even ld.so.conf ... 23:06:05 either it is from some default path (such as from the specs or from ld.so.conf or from LD_LIBRARY_PATH) 23:06:07 OR 23:06:41 you must -first- (i.e., more to the left) put a -L telling it where to look 23:06:57 yes, already do it 23:07:29 but having others error: /usr/lib/libglib.so: undefined reference to `getpwuid_r@GLIBC_2.1.2' 23:07:40 so I'm changing ld-so.conf 23:08:09 so now the gcc command line has -L/usr/lib/X11 before -lX11?

23:16:35 * jim has a small suspicion that you upgrade libraries a lot... 23:17:05 doing such upgrades has implications to consider :) 23:17:33 less often but more effect, on your runtime env 23:18:00 more often, but just affects compiling, on your toolchain 23:18:39 ok 23:19:55 when I look at a toolchain, I consider: the compiler, the binary utilities, the base libs (especially libc) 23:20:09 they must be in sync 23:21:06 they should be, they come from the same distribuition 23:21:32 (the compiler uses libc to run... uses the binary utilities to do assemblies and links... uses the dev part of libc to link the code against) 23:21:50 ok, what about libs 23:23:10 when was the last time you upgraded libc, without at least considering gcc and binutils? if -never-, things should work most of the time, and this might not be a problem tracable to version skew amongst the toolchain 23:24:29 in front of this problem i should say never 23:24:48 ok, then the problem shouldn't be your toolchain 23:24:57 try make clean ; make 23:25:53 Isame result 23:25:57 then, if the sanme thing happens, show the same gcc line as before 23:26:19 gcc gcam.o mainwindow.o videowindow.o menu.o config.o ../common/videodevice.o ../common/jpeg.o ../common/configdb.o `gtk-config --libs` -lSM -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -ljpeg -o gcam 23:27:09 ok, try moving -L/usr/X11R6/lib before `gtk-config --libs` 23:27:35 in fact... try cding to the dir where those .o files are 23:27:50 and run just that one gcc with the order change in the command line 23:28:08 that should tell you quicker what needs what 23:28:26 if still a problem, I need to see the error message 23:28:44 gcc gcam.o mainwindow.o videowindow.o menu.o config.o ../common/videodevice.o ../common/jpeg.o ../common/configdb.o -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 `gtk-config --libs` -lSM -lX11 -ljpeg -o gcam 23:28:45 /lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_dl_clktck@GLIBC_2.2' 23:28:45 /lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_dl_debug_mask@GLIBC_2.2.3' 23:28:45 /lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_dl_init_all_dirs@GLIBC_2.2' 23:28:45 /lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_dl_debug_printf@GLIBC_2.2.3' 23:28:46 /lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_dl_all_dirs@GLIBC_2.2' 23:28:49 /lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_dl_pagesize@GLIBC_2.2' 23:28:51 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status 23:29:10 you seem to have -many- glibcs 23:29:26 try this... 23:29:36 make distclean 23:29:40 ./configure 23:29:41 make 23:30:46 the Makefile is not so advanced. However you are right 23:31:13 there's no configure? 23:31:13 I see libc.so.6 in /lib/i686/ and in /lib 23:31:21 no 23:31:35 hmm, not sure what's up 23:32:02 * jim is stumpped... 23:32:23 ok, under alsa-driver, configure give same error 23:32:53 hmmm 23:33:11 what dist are you running? 23:33:26 rh-7.2 23:36:43 I'm almost clueless for redhat... some people say it's fine, others say the toolchain is usually broken (the controvercial decision by redhat to provide a development snapshot of gcc and claim it is stable has reflected badly both on redhat (mostly) and the gcc team (to a small degree... but they didn't force redhat to release the snapshot) 23:38:22 who usually complain when a snapshot is used, but there's nothing legally they can do, given the code is GPLed 23:38:29 ) 23:39:02 I have no problems compiling ALSA on Debian 23:39:02 Did you read the README? 23:39:10 rbm: same here :) 23:39:19 * rbm reads the backlog to get some context 23:40:00 ALSA rocks BTW 23:43:01 anlater has quit (forward.openprojects.net irc.openprojects.net) 23:43:01 chump has quit (forward.openprojects.net irc.openprojects.net) 23:43:01 davb has quit (forward.openprojects.net irc.openprojects.net) 23:43:01 rbm has quit (forward.openprojects.net irc.openprojects.net) 23:43:01 hazmat has quit (forward.openprojects.net irc.openprojects.net) 23:43:01 jim has quit (forward.openprojects.net irc.openprojects.net) 23:46:26 anlater (~antonio@212.34.222.62) has joined #OpenACS 23:46:26 hazmat (~ender@adsl-66-123-57-58.dsl.lsan03.pacbell.net) has joined #OpenACS 23:46:26 rbm (rmello@fslc.ser.usu.edu) has joined #OpenACS 23:46:26 jim (~jim@12-233-187-5.client.attbi.com) has joined #OpenACS 23:46:26 chump (~chump@alb-24-58-160-41.nycap.rr.com) has joined #OpenACS 23:46:36 [#OpenACS] This channel is logged: http://www.blogspace.com/openacs/chatlogs/ and blogged: http://www.thedesignexperience.org/openacs/ircblog 23:46:52 (this is as it should be... the kernel should be independent of all userland, which libs are) 23:47:11 rbm: the error occur many times, for example with alsa-driver 23:48:10 time ago I was not able to compile aolserver... but solution was to rm the link under /usr/lib(libc.so.6 23:48:11 might be an indication of a problem even more central than libc 23:48:24 anlater: Oh. Your distro is b0rken then. 23:48:33 exactly 23:48:45 You could upgrade to Debian :-) 23:48:53 well, if he has the same distro on another box that works, 23:49:06 it's not necessarily the distro, it' 23:49:12 jim: Probably he installed some RPM that messed everything up (my guess) 23:49:19 s local to the particular installation 23:49:24 That's what I meant. 23:49:43 work fine on clean installation 23:49:44 oh, ok... 23:50:19 the problem arise on a box where I had even a power failure problem and other 23:51:05 anlater: so we can be mildly miffed at rh for being unstably annoying in a mild sort of way,, but that wouldn't be relevent to this problem :) 23:51:09 I think It's better to reinstall all.... upgrading to deb o clean rh 23:51:44 remember to run what works best for you 23:52:00 if that's rh because you know it better, use that 23:52:21 you can always build your own toolchain 23:52:36 no matter what dist 23:56:24 davb (~chatzilla@alb-24-58-160-135.nycap.rr.com) has joined #openacs
