[arch-general] Question about installing libraries
by Christian 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hi all, I am learning and learning more in Arch linux, but I have a question. There are a few programs that I use and I am not able to find all the dependencies in the Arch repositories, and some of th elibraries are a little old and the developers have .deb packages for them. So my question is if I get a such package, may I just extract it, unpack the data.tar.gz and copy the libraries into /usr/lib? For example, I now need to use pygame1.8 and there is 1.9 in the arch repository. What do you think? Many thanks, Christian

[arch-general] devtools:mkarchroot fails under sudo
by Baho Utot 24 Oct '10

24 Oct '10

Following Building in a clean chroot I have encountered the following issue, which is related to using sudo mkarchroot The full path is not included (code posted from mkarchroot) should this be fixed? After patching mkarchroot it works with sudo. BUILD=/home/devtools $ sudo mkdir -vp ${BUILD} mkdir: created directory `/home/devtools' $ sudo /usr/sbin/mkarchroot "${BUILD}/root" base base-devel sudo :: Synchronizing package databases... .... [putolin] .... /usr/sbin/mkarchroot: line 178: ldconfig: command not found /usr/sbin/mkarchroot: line 191: chroot: command not found /usr/sbin/mkarchroot line 178: if [ -d "${working_dir}/lib/modules" ]; then ldconfig -r "${working_dir}" fi if [ -d "${working_dir}/lib/modules" ]; then /sbin/ldconfig -r "${working_dir}" fi line 191: if [ -e "${working_dir}/etc/locale.gen" ]; then echo -e 'en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8\nde_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8' > "${working_dir}/etc/locale.gen" chroot "${working_dir}" locale-gen if [ -e "${working_dir}/etc/locale.gen" ]; then echo -e 'en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8\nde_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8' > "${working_dir}/etc/locale.gen" /usr/sbin/chroot "${working_dir}" /usr/sbin/locale-gen

Reboot the system won't help, only turn out that system can't find my wireless. I have to compeletely shutdown the conputer, unplug power and battery, then boot again, and maybe run into a normal situaiton, none of above happend. -- Arch Linuxer, Pythoner, Geek --> Blog: http://apt-blog.net

[arch-general] makepkg not working in chrooted environment
by Norbert Zeh 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Hi folks, I am running a 32-bit chroot on my 64-bit system, and I'm trying to build a few packages from AUR inside the 32-bit chroot. When I run makepkg inside the chroot, it complains about dependencies not being satisfied, even though the dependencies are installed inside the chroot (and in the 64-bit environment, as well). So I'm wondering why it doesn't find the dependencies. I'd love to get this to work and also wouldn't mind helping with debugging this. I just need a few pointers what I would have to look for. Cheers, Norbert -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Re: [arch-general] What's happening about libdjvu?
by Auguste Pop 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

I noticed this by compiling the package myself... When I sent this mail, the web page was not updated and I saw an old list of files that did not contain the .so file. I should have tried it first rather than relying on a presumably delayed response on the web site.

[arch-general] Spell Checking in Emacs
by Steve Holmes 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

I have emacs 23.2 running in a normal text console and am trying to spell check using the ispell.el facility in the emacs lisp libraries. I also installed aspell and espell-en packages to resolve the binary program to be used by the emacs ispell function. When I do any of the emacs commands like ispell-buffer or ispell-region and the like, I keep getting a message in the prompt line of emacs saying "Text is read-only" The buffer where I am testing this is most definitely not a read-only buffer. I tested aspell out in a normal terminal on a test text file and that seemed to work OK. Do I have to do anything else to get this working right? I did not set up any config files for aspell; I'm not sure if I have to or not. Can anyone help me out?
