Hello Helge, I'm a italian Java developer and this is my first discussion on crux mail list and excuse my not perfect english... Returning to your problem... do you must set some environment variables in /etc/profile or in your tomcat startup and shutdown script: JAVA_HOME=/your/jdkdir and CATALINA_HOME=/your/Tomcat remind to export it, and remind that Tomcat requires a JDK installation and not a JRE. I hope that this help you, if you have some other question post to the mail list...

Forwarding to mailinglist. /Per ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2006 01:31:12 +0100 From: Gab <korsani(a)free.fr> To: per(a)fukt.bth.se Subject: About perl in crux Hi, I noticed that perl is depending on db: if perl was built with db 4.3.28 and you further compile and install db 4.3.29, perl fail at 'require DB_File': root@corum:/home/gab/sources/cashew/sauvegarde# sauvegarde-util-light.pl --check DB_File needs compatible versions of libdb & db.h you have db.h version 4.3.28 and libdb version 4.3.29 Compilation failed in require at /usr/bin/sauvegarde-util-light.pl line 17.

Wine + Chinese fonts
by Benoit Clennett-Sirois 17 Mar '06

17 Mar '06

Hi all! This is my first post to the mailing list so I hope it excuses my lack of knowledge of this mailing list's protocols... It also mentioned "Avoid top postings" but the link is dead from China where I currently reside. I will the assume (and hope) that this is a proper Top posting. As this is my first posting, I'll begin with a corny introduction; I was using CRUX back in Canada and liked it very much, now I have been in China for 1 year and just took Windows out of this box that the school gave me and put in Crux 2.1. I am quite happy with how well the packages are maintained and I like CRUX even more. I use it strictly for Desktop use here. Ok so here's my question, hopefully it doesnt have a very simple answer because i've been searching for a at least 4 hours on the Net on how to do this with no success: I compiled Wine last night using the /contrib/wine package in order to use Miranda-im for windows, which supports QQ, a Messenger used in China. There are currently no Linux alternatives that I know of for QQ because of recent changes on the QQ servers that deny the 2003 protocol... anyways. The problem (at least one of the problem) is that the Chinese fonts do not show up under Wine, I downloaded and copied the proper ttf's under .wineroot./windows/fonts then tried that chinese software, and notepad.exe, no luck, Chinese fonts fo not show up under Wine. They do show up under X though. Im not too sure what the --disable-nls option does in Pkginfo files, would that be related? Anybody knows how to use Chinese fonts under Wine? Does Wine need to "register" the fonts in a special way? Does it have to be compiled in a special way for asian characters? Anyways thanks for your help and hopefully I won't turn this mailing list into a newbie forum... -Ben :-) __________________________________________________________ Lèche-vitrine ou lèche-écran ? magasinage.yahoo.ca

Dbus lanuch
by wawrzyniec.niewodniczanski＠pwr.wroc.pl 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

Hello, I'm using bmpx (beep-media-player) with dbus support, but without gnome. (BTW. What advantage does dbus give me?) At the moment dbus is started via /etc/rc.d/dbus next x is started by kdm next WindowMaker or KDE is started I'm starting WMaker via .xinitrc (I think is Crux way :) so I can add dbus-launch --auto-syntax --exit-with-session wmaker (1) to .xinitrc and bmpx works, but what with my wife KDE? Where should I add line (1) - Wahat should i change there? Another way is to build bmpx without dbus. What does i lose?

CRUX 2.1 and Oracle 9iR2
by Matt Housh 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

Greetings, all. Is anyone successfully running Oracle 9iR2 (between 9.2.0.1 and 9.2.0.6) on a CRUX 2.1 system? I'd like to set up a test machine for work running CRUX rather than Red Hat Enterprise. The application server and related software requires (at this time) Oracle Enterprise Edition 9.2.0.X, so while 10g might be easier to get running, it's not an option in this case. I'm willing to start working on compat libraries and the like to get this running, just wanted to know if anyone else already has before I spend a lot of time on it. There has been limited mention of oracle on CRUX in the past on this list but no concrete details. Also, as I understand it, the installation was only viable on pre-2.0 versions of CRUX at the time, which I'd like to change. Thanks, Matt -- Matt Housh (jaeger@freenode/#crux)

current events in CRUX's KDE
by Nick Steeves 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

Hello, There are a few things which I've been working on, or thinking about, in the hopes of making CRUX's KDE implementation better. 1. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=crux&m=114198584022117&w=2 2. get some sort of inotify support. Currently, I'm testing the inotify via gamin solution. At some point, I'm going to see if ./configure --enable-inotify, for kdelibs, provides the same functionality with less overhead/complexity; I will talk to some KDE developers about the merits of each approach. If anyone wants to quickly add inotify support to their current KDE installation, and already has libfam or gamin installed, then he/she has merely to do the following: a) make sure you're running an up-to-date kernel (at least 2.6.14.6, IMHO) b) either copy your /usr/src/linux/include/linux/inotify.h to /usr/include/linux/inotify.h, or else use the 2.6.15.4 version found in ports/sten/glibc/inotify.h, if you subscribe to my repo. Alternatively you can install ports/sten/inotify-utils. c) prt-get remove libfam d) prt-get install -fr gamin OR prt-get remove -fr gamin e) killall /usr/sbin/gam_server f) otherwise, you'll need to rebuild everything kdelibs down, to enable inotify, and to let apps run without libfam... 2.5 Gamin has issues with KDE: (http://lists.kde.org/?l=kfm-devel&m=114209917111095&w=2) From a discussion on kde-packager, I've learned that all applications that use KDirWatch can use inotify through kdelibs. Kat is the sole exception. The kdelibs --enable-inotify approach is said to be a cleaner, more robust solution than Gamin + KDE. 3. Prelink. Many of the "big" distributions have it, and it apparently speeds up KDE quite a bit (I didn't notice anything mind boggling, but it's a nice speed up..maybe 20-40%). I finally got it to work with libelf, instead of elfutils. If anyone is interested, please test it, and email me with your prelink experiences. Until this latest attempt, mine had never been altogether successful, but prelink has worked great for me for the last few weeks. 4. What would you like to see in, or out of, CRUX's KDE? Cheers, Nick

CRUX naming
by Mark Rosenstand 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Hi, >From the handbook FAQ: 3. Is it called CRUX Linux or CRUX GNU/Linux? None of the above. It's called CRUX, no more no less. I've noticed that kdelibs is branded --with-distribution="CRUX Linux", the default menu.lst from grub calls it "CRUX GNU/Linux" and the descriptions for pkg-get and pkgsync both say "CRUX Linux". Could the respective maintainers please fix this, perhaps only locally and let it slip in with their next commit?
