[arch-ports] A few PPC queries
by graeme burton 08 Mar '07

08 Mar '07

Hi All, Just installed Arch onto my Mac after using the distro on x86 and being very impressed by it. I hope you can help me sort out a few problems. It seemed very odd that the 2006-08-28_archppc-base.iso image doesn't contain a kernel to install. However, I chrooted and did a pacman update and all went well. I got the following error when trying to install xfce4-goodies checking package integrity... done. loading package data... done. checking for file conflicts... error: the following file conflicts were found: xfce4-showdesktop-plugin: /opt/xfce4/lib/xfce4/panel-plugins/libshowdesktop.so: exists in filesystem xfce4-windowlist-plugin: /opt/xfce4/lib/xfce4/panel-plugins/libwindowlist.so: exists in filesystem However, xarchiver-0.4.6-2 and xfce4-dev-tools-4.4.0-1 installed OK. Also, opera crashes after about 5 seconds as follows ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. Segmentation fault If there's anything I can do to help on this distro, I'd be happy to do what I can.

[arch-ports] FS#6319 codecs fixed - may need -Sf to upgrade
by Andreas Radke 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

I solved bug http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6319 changing the source to essential-amd64. pkg size droped down to 240kB and mplayer is still working here. the files went into the new and recommended diretory and a symlink is created to the old location. pacman2 may need switch -force to install and handle the link correctly. pacman3 did it well: [root@workstation64 andyrtr]# pacman -U /var/abs/chroot/current/home/andyrtr/current_packages/codecs-20061203-1.pkg.tar.gz loading package data... done. checking for file conflicts... error: the following file conflicts were found: codecs: /usr/lib/win32: exists in filesystem errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

[arch-ports] arch64: massive rebuilds coming
by Andreas Radke 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

we have fixed the bad linker issues that were made in early arch64 days. we are preparing to drop /lib64/ld* completly. now we have the fixed gcc package we need to rebuild all packages that are linked to /lib64/ld* - several houndreds to do. this will take some time. when we have finished we will update the glibc package and remove /lib64/ld*. all arch64 user running selfcompiled software please check using ldd if it is linked to the correct linker. if not rebuild it using latest gcc upadte. right: ldd /bin/bash /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002b269cd85000) wrong: ldd /bin/bash /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002b269cd85000) TUs: check community x64_64 packages and fix if needed! devs: take care that we need to overwrite some cvs entries of the packages already bumped further (those from testing).

[arch-ports] SuperH port
by Oleg Finkelshteyn 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

Hi, I am a HP Jornada 680 user. This is a sh3-based handheld running linux from the jlime project (http://jlime.com). All the development and packaging is currenly done using OpenEmbedded, but I'm not satisfied with the process of crosscompiling something using it. So, I came up to an idea to port Arch to this handheld, as I have working kernel it shouldn't be a hard task. Then I need a cross-development environment to compile some stuff. How should I do it? Was there any work done on making an Arch-based crossbuild environment? Thanks. -- Best regards, Oleg Finkelshteyn
