the requirement to compile modules with the same compiler as PERL was

[tbox-l] Compiling perl modules on AIX 5.3

[Richards, J. 4. <JEF...@CI...>]

I am running AIX 5.3 maintenance level 2 on a p5 695 LPAR.  I downloaded
and installed the AIX 5.3 gcc rpm.  When I try to compile any
perl(default system install version) module I get the following error
message (edited).

In file included from

I've searched this list as well as the web.  Apart from compiling my own

P.S.

I thought I remembered previous versions of the AIX GNU Toolkit
re-writing header files on installation.  That may have been a very old
version of the toolkit.

Thanks in advance for any help.

[tbox-l] Bug in libxslt?

[Markus A. <al...@de...>]

Hi all,

here's a problem that an user has reported lately when he was working on 
a program using xslt. It seems to the a bug in the libxslt RPM of the 
AIX Toolbox for Linux, as it works with the libxslt installations on 
various Linux systems where I've tested this (different distributions 
and different levels).

To demonstrate the wrong behavior, the user has provided me with two 
small files (attached below), which when invoked as "xsltproc sample.xsl 
input.xml" should return the current date and time like this:

altmark@pdw7: xslt (10) $ xsltproc sample.xsl input.xml
DateTime: 2006-07-07T18:10:46+02:00, Date: 07/07/06, Time: 06:10:46

This works fine as long as the timezone (TZ) variable has a negative 
offset to UTC, like here in Germany where we have TZ=CET-1CEST, thus 
explicitly running

altmark@pdw7: xslt (11) $ env TZ="CET-1CEST" xsltproc sample.xsl input.xml
DateTime: 2006-07-07T18:11:00+02:00, Date: 07/07/06, Time: 06:11:00

is ok, too. But for e.g. Eastern Time in the US one gets:

altmark@pdw7: xslt (12) $ env TZ="EST5EDT" xsltproc sample.xsl input.xml
DateTime: , Date: , Time:

As said, the latter works on a Linux machine (RHEL4 in the following case):

altmark@hdcl028: xslt (9) $ env TZ="EST5EDT" xsltproc sample.xsl input.xml
DateTime: 2006-07-07T11:51:53-04:00, Date: 07/07/06, Time: 11:51:53

To reproduce the problem:

1. Create a directory "xslt" and save the two attached files in that 
directory.
2. Create a subdirectory "exslt" and another two subdiretories "date" 
and "str" underneath it.
3. From www.exslt.org, download date.zip [1] and str.zip [2] and extract 
them to the "date" and "str" directories respectively.
4. Go to the top level "xslt" directory and run the command listed 
above: "xsltproc sample.xsl input.xml" with different settings for the 
TZ environment variable.

The strange thing is that it even works on a Linux machine with an older 
version of libxslt (1.0.33-5) installed than on AIX.

Can anybody more familiar with xslt than me please shed some light on 
this? Thanks!

Regards,
Markus

[tbox-l] Yet another change request for /opt/freeware/bin/vncserver

[Markus A. <al...@de...>]

Folks,

there's been some discussion about changes to the 
/opt/freeware/bin/vncserver shell script and as we're on the topic, 
here's another thing that I'd like to bring forward.

This appears to be a fairly old problem (at least searching the web 
gives some hits pointing into the same direction). Here goes:

When starting vncserver without the "-nolisten local" option, it fails 
to execute the commands that I specify in ~/.vnc/xstartup and I get 
errors like these in ~/.vnc/<host>:<displaynum>.log:

AUDIT: Fri Jul  7 15:14:17 2006: 585912 Xvnc: client 1 rejected from 
local host
Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
mwm: 2053-015 Could not open display.

Some hints I've found on various websites (e.g. [1]) indicate that this 
could be caused by either

1) /tmp/.X11-unix already existing (what it usually does)

2) /tmp/.X11-unix being owned by another ID (yes, usually root:system)

3) /tmp/.X11-unix not being writable (not the case, as its permissions 
are 777 or 1777)

Thus vncserver is unable to create its Unix domain socket within that 
directory, they say.

However I've found that this is not true. /tmp/.X11-unix/X<displaynum> 
gets created and so does the directory itself if it's not there yet. But 
this does not make a difference with regard to the aforementioned problem.

Starting vncserver with the "-nolisten local" option (i.e. without using 
the Unix domain socket) makes things work ok. So I propose to add this 
option as the default to the command string for Xvnc within the 
/opt/freeware/bin/vncserver script.

Any thoughts on this?

Regards,
Markus

[tbox-l] One other issue with the VNC code

[Benjamin L. <la...@us...>]

Please modify the vncserver code (/usr/bin/X11/vncserver) to set the
fontpath according what's specified below. Note that those are commas (,)
separating the directories in the fontpath. That is the correct delimiter.

   vncserver  -nolisten local -fp
   /usr/lib/X11/fonts/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/ibm850/

And here's the actual fix:
   For future reference,  I added the following line to the script
   /usr/bin/X11/vncserver:

   Under section: # Add font path and color database stuff here

   $cmd .= " -fp
   /usr/lib/X11/fonts/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/ibm850/";

[tbox-l] Problem with vnc from Toolbox - vncClasses points to nonexistant dir

[Benjamin L. <la...@us...>]

Greetings:

One of our engineers recently discovered a problem with a path for the
vncClasses variable in the vncserver script.

The /opt/freeware/bin/vncserver shell script sets

$vncClasses = "/usr/local/vnc/classes";

But there is no /usr/local/vnc so either an additional link needs to be
created or this value should be changed to

$vncClasses = "/opt/freeware/vnc/classes";

Failure to set this variable correctly will keep vnc from find the classes
that it needs.  That will make it impossible to connect to the vncserver
through a web client.

Would this be addressed in a future release of vnc from the Toolbox?

Thanks.
Ben

As someone else mentioned, we did backport that security fix into our 
rsync-2.6.2 package, so it's already there.

Approval to distribute rsync-2.6.8 has been requested and is pending the usual

It appears as if the AIX Toolbox project is dead in the water.  I
haven't seen anything new come out in quite a while and every time
someone asks for an updated package "they" respond by saying that it's
too much trouble to go through the license or something.  Very

[tbox-l] undefined symbols w/g++ 4.0.0

[Eric L. <Eri...@me...>]

I was also getting undefined symbol errors when using g++ 4.0.0 and AIX =
5.2's native linker to build an exe. $LD_FLAGS was set to "-Wl,-brtl =
-Wl,-berok". The reported undefined symbols should've been found in =
libstdc++.a (libstdc++.so.6).=20

I solved this problem by removing the -Wl,-brtl flag, that is, setting =
$LD_FLAGS  to "-Wl,-berok" only.

I also solved this problem by retaining the "-Wl,-brtl" flag and using =
the version of libstdc++.a that contains libstdc++.so.5 (instead of =
libstdc++.so .6).=20

Quite frankly I'm not sure if either of these solutions are correct, but =
since the first solution allows the app to built with the latest version =
of libstdc++.a, I'm going with that.

Does anyone know why the -brtl flag causes this problem?
