I'm packaging PDFlib Lite for Slackware64 13.0, and I get the following warning from makepkg:WARNING: site_perl directory detected (this is fine for a local package build)Does anyone know if/why keeping the "site_perl" directory in the package could be a problem? Should I move the files it contains somewhere else?It is located in /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl
View 1 RepliesI came from the Debian world so I did not do much building software from source. I successfully built wine from source, now the wine binary is in the same directory where the Makefile and all of the other source stuff is. I can run wine from that directory fine, but I sort of want to move it somewhere else. I tried moving the wine binary somewhere else, but when I try to run it I get
[code]...
What all do I have to move into the new directory to get wine working in the new directory? By convention, where should I move wine, I want it available for all users, should I move it to /opt/wine, or /usr/local/wine, or somewhere else?

I have a raid array level 5 with metadata 1.2 made with mdadm. I put it on /etc/fstab to mount it on boot but it doesn't works because the raid is not detected on boot. I have a /etc/mdadm.conf like this:
Code:
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=3 metadata=1.2 name=0 UUID=afdfe00e:0d18a5eb:29aa54f9:8b422ee0
Just another thing... After the command
Code:
mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm.conf
The mdadm.conf is like this:
Code:
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=3 metadata=1.02 name=0 UUID=afdfe00e:0d18a5eb:29aa54f9:8b422ee0
But I change manually the metadata version because the 1.02 give me a error. I don't know if it is a bug or what! Beside this. I have to put a line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local to assemble the array.
Code:
mdadm --assemble --scan --uuid=afdfe00e:0d18a5eb:29aa54f9:8b422ee0
And after that I already can mount it. Why the array is not detected on boot? Is because metadata type is prior to 1.00? Can I put the line I have on /etc/rc.d/rc.local to assemble the array in another file, that will be executed before /etc/fstab?
I've been using Slackware distribution for few years now, Setup new system with Xen Server 5.5 and installed Slackware 13 on it, but network card is not detected and can't seem to make it work.

I can't seem to get a screen on my Asus Netbook 1005pe. I did install the xf86-video-intel-2.10.0-i486-1.txz & kubdrn-2.4.17-i486-1.txz.I'm also having a Kernel Modesetting issue. Below is my Xorg.conf file & my Xorg.0.log file. Sorry if I am not explaining myself correctly.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am running -current on an ASUS eeePC 1000HE. Wireless was working fine up until the time I applied the latest changes from the Slack -current tree, which upgraded wpa_supplicant. Now, no networks are detected.
I looked at some related threads here and did some basic checking: neither the eth1 nor wlan0 interfaces show up in iwconfig or ifconfig output. Am afraid I am still a wireless dunderhead and don't know where to start troubleshooting this issue.
This device doesn't automount, doesn't show in KDE 4's device notifier, and I can't mount this camera manually because it doesn't appear to get assigned to a device node. Any known solutions? It worked in Slackware 12.2, but not in 13.0 or 13.1.

I've seen some comments about adding a file to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory. I don't have this directory. Is it ok to add this, or did I screw something up during the install. I did another 13.1 install about a week ago and it is also missing this directory. Is this just something in current and not in 13.1?

I am working on getting my software packages installed on my fresh Slackware64-13.0 installation. Some (but definitely not all) of my executables are unable to be run.
I understand what PATH is for. It is for locating files, folders, executables in those directories when running from a Terminal window.
So, for example, I have just installed Cisco VPN Client for Linux, and it is the strangest thing. I should have access to this. I must not be understanding something here. Does anyone have any idea why this is not working for me? I have put in an example of what I am talking about.
I have no idea why this is not working.
I'm trying to install Slackware package into some specific locations, like for example, I want to put Linux base package into at / and put applications on /usr/local. However when I'm installing using "setup" program, I cannot find a part that let me to choose the installation destination.
At "setup install" option, it gives six different installation method like full, newbie, menu, expert, custom, and tag path. But none of them (I cannot find it) gives an option where to put the installation package to.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have used a couple of slackbuild binary packages (i.e. without doing the actually build) and have worked fine. Thanks to those who have spent the time and effort to create them.
When installing the package I wanted to know what binary files were being put on my machine and at which directory location. This was more out of curiosity.
However, now I plan to get the boost slackbuild package. It's more relevant to know where it's being installed. Is there a way to know that? Also, can I specify a different directory?

What things would you like to be added to the /extra directory?

lately I compiled the 2.6.35 kernel and met the following problem: the kernel I get it is a generic kernel so I have two generic kernels. I want to have a possibility to boot both kernels: the new and the old one. I cannot resolve the problem of a creating initrd as mkinitrd run for the new kernel would overwrite the initrd.gz generated for the old kernel. So , I make a new directory where I put this new kernel. Is there a way to have both kernels together in /boot ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI tried to build the virtualbox 3.1.6 kernel using the files from slackbuilds.org and I got this error that says it cannot find the kernel include directory. My current kernel is 2.6.33.2 (slack 13.1).
I tried SOME_VAR=/usr/include --> (I forgot the exact variable name, but I used the variable name I saw in the error message) just a guess , but it didn't work of course.
Is it at /usr/src/linux-2.6.33.2/include or something like that? Or is there anything wrong with the slackbuild script?
So I have patched the 3.2 sources similar to the 3.1.3 sources. I used the slackbuild from 3.1.3 as well. I get to the install of the script and I get this:
