Downloaded and installed the toobox (including KDE2) on AIX 4.3.3 more or less hassle free. However, running konsole I get QObject::connect: Cannot connect KAction::activated() to Konsole::(null) and then the konsole window opens but I don't seem to get any prompt. There's a cursor there and I can type, but no response. Any ideas? Thanks and Cheers Eckard |

There is also another way to get more information if an rpm install fails. Try the "-vv" option of rpm instead of "-v". If the package file has been corrupted during the download, you should see an error message like: # rpm -ivv kdebase* ...

We didn't build apache with lynx enabled since we don't have lynx in the Toolbox yet. emperor:1# apachectl usage: /usr/sbin/apachectl (start|stop|restart|fullstatus|status|graceful|config test|help) start - start httpd stop - stop httpd restart - restart httpd if running by sending a SIGHUP or start if not running fullstatus - dump a full status screen; requires lynx and mod_status enabled status - dump a short status screen; requires lynx and mod_status enabled graceful - do a graceful restart by sending a SIGUSR1 or start if not running configtest - do a configuration syntax test help - this screen So, since we don't have lynx yet, you can't run status or fullstatus unless you grab lynx from somewhere. It's available from the UCLA Public Domain Software (http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/aixpdslib.html) for 4.3. You'll have to configure your apache server to produce the server-status file to get much useful information out of it, so far as I can see.

You're apparently not the first to hit this sort of thing. From the GDB-bug archives....

You could try adding -mapcs-frame to the CYGBLD_GLOBAL_CFLAGS option. You could also try reducing the optimization level from -O2 to -O1 or disable it (-O0) just to see if that makes a difference; or you could also try disabling the CDL options CYGDBG_HAL_COMMON_CONTEXT_SAVE_MINIMUM and CYGDBG_HAL_COMMON_INTERRUPTS_SAVE_MINIMUM_CONTEXT Let us know if one of those fixes things for you.

The backspace key didn't work for me using emacs 19.31.1 on AIX 4.2.1 or AIX 4.3.3. If I use the backspace key, it maps to ctrl-h, which is the emacs help character. I checked on google and found this: http://www.introrse.com/jasonc/docs/emacs-ch.html which explains that this is normal emacs behavior which you can override by adding the following line to your .emacs file: (define-key global-map "\C-h" 'backward-delete-char) and I confirmed that it works as expected. Apparently the Toolbox emacs is working as designed.

It would be quite difficult to add any confusion to this. 8-( Thanks for the pointer, I had not noticed the usefull info on that section (or maybe I had been looking up other stuff in the sales manual). At any rate, there seems nothing in the layer discussion that allows me to set the root window to be high or true color. The manual indeed indicates that the previously suggested -x -dbe would support both modes. Withouth specifying color depth, but just the dbe on the xinit line gets me the 256 colors and xmperf fails to allocate colors under gnome. Specifying a 16 or 24 bit color depth causes X to fail on startup. At this point, I am left with the conclusion that those folks for whom this is working fine are in fact running on more modern hardware than I have access to. Of course, if there is anybody out there stuck with a GXT255P in an 830 I would love to hear that it works. And perhaps share condolences....

Sure enough... The backspace works fine in a new emacs window session, but if you unset the DISPLAY and run it from an xterm it does not. There isn't anything new from 4.3.2 --> 4.3.3 that should have caused this; there's a good chance that this has something to do with the specific build of emacs, since the Toolbox emacs is a rebuilt recent version, different from whatever build you were running on 4.3.2. (I mean, it may be the same version you were running before, but it was rebuilt on a different system, perhaps with different build options, etc.; or it could indeed be a different version). Did you ever run your original emacs binaries on 4.3.3 and see this?

They're in DOS format? I guess that I need to reupload them in binary form so that they won't mess with the <CR><LF>. Sorry about that. Those plus'es are an anomaly at that web site. They don't allow directories or files with '+' in them, which is both irritating and embarrassing. I have to do unnatural things to get it all to work, and these two errors in the wget scripts are fallout from that mess. The scripts will be updated on the server either within a few minutes or in about an hour, depending upon whether I beat the cron job or not.

Hopefully I won't add further confusion, but I know the GXT25x class of adapters was unusual in the flexibility of it's memory usage. There's yet another option related to this: "-layer". The "-layer" option tells the X server in which layer (overlay or not) to run the root window and thus the default visual. And, overlay visuals are limited to 8 bits. Check out the Installation manual for the GXT25x adapters at http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/resource/hardware_docs/english/a4a23mst.htm, under "System Considerations". Paul |

Unfortunately, even though xdpyinfo reports the extension is added if I specify a depth of 8, it still won't start if I specify a larger color depth. Also interesting, if I do just start up a session with a depth of 8, and try to exec a gnome-session from an aixterm window - it crashes. Of course, the only thing in my .xerrors file is "connection to server lost..." Now looking more carefully at the xdpyinfo output, below the place where it says there are three color depths available, it also says: depth of root window: 8 planes number of colormaps: minimum 3, maximum 4 default colormap: 0x37 default number of colormap cells: 256 yet my programs that complained about lack of color still work, even with netscape running....I have got to be going down a garden path here "I'm a big fan of ignorance based techniques, because humans have a lot of ignorance, and we want to play our strong suit."

If I remember right, you have to enable the double-buffering extension for high color on a GXT255P. Try "X -x dbe". -- Reza Arbab ar...@au... (512) 838-0446 |

If I configure thru smit for a 1600x1280 screen - and hence I don't have enough memory to display more that 256 colors, it works. In fact it is quite breathtaking, and I would be using that mode except for my high color requirement. I just don't get what funny specifics there would be for high colors on a GXT255P....... Thanks!

I've just posted a frequently asked questions list to the FTP site. The most common question asked in the past isn't there, because the 3.0.5.20 version of rpm.rte includes /sbin/install-info, which people had trouble with repeatedly. If you have additions which you'd like to see. let me know. The FAQ is available (or will be within the hour) in HTML or text format from ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/. I'll post the text version here: Frequently Asked Questions - AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications Updated April 18, 2001 Table of Contents General 1. Is there a mailing list? 2. How do I report a bug? 3. How do I request that a tool be added to the Toolbox? 4. Why isn't my favorite tool in the Toolbox? 5. Why aren't the tools in installp format? 6. What compiler was used to build the Toolbox? 7. Many of these tools have been available on AIX for years. Why the Toolbox? 8. Can I get a CD? 9. Is there a list of known problems? 10. Why is this release of the Toolbox incompatible with the version released in December, 2000? 11. How often will the contents of the Toolbox be updated? RPM 1. Why does rpm.rte take so long to install? 2. Where can I find more information on using rpm? 3. I have gtk+ installed but I can't link to it? Why not? 4. I downloaded an RPM, but rpm won't install it. Why not? 5. rpm won't install an RPM because it is missing a dependency. How do I find out how to resolve that dependency? 6. I installed a shared library using installp, but RPM does not recognize that the support is installed. What do I do? 7. How do I remove all of this stuff? Apps 1. What level of gcc is provided with the Toolbox? 2. I have the Visual Age compilers. Can I use it with the Toolbox? 3. What's info? 4. Why won't KDE start? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ General 1. Q: Is there a mailing list? A: The public mailing list is aix...@os.... You may subscribe to the list at http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/projects/aixtoolbox. 2. Q: How do I report a bug? A: Go to the project page at http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/projects/aixtoolbox, click on the "bugs" tab, click on "Submit bug", and fill in the report. Be sure to respond to the confirmation notice which you will receive so that the bug report will be visible. 3. Q: How do I request that a tool be added to the Toolbox? A: It is very similar to reporting a bug as above, but specify a category of "Request" and a Bug Group of "Package Requests." 4. Q: Why isn't my favorite tool in the Toolbox? A: There are thousands of open source tools in the world. We might not know about it. Send in a tool request as mentioned above. There may also be a licensing issue with that tool. All tools which we distribute must be cleared through IBM legal teams for licensing and patent checks, and sometime clarifications of the license must be requested from the parties with copyrights on the software. 5. Q: Why aren't the tools in installp format? A: A primary goal of the AIX Toolbox is to increase the affinity with Linux systems. RPM is a common packaging system on Linux platforms (though it is not on every Linux platform) and most popular open source projects are available as source RPMS (SRPMS), making it relatively straightforward to build new packages for the Toolbox. 6. Q: What compiler was used to build the Toolbox? A: In general, projects written in C are compiled with Visual Age C Compiler 5.0, and projects written containing C++ are compiled with an earlier version of the g++ compiler distributed with the Toolbox. The final version arrived too late to rebuild everything. The SPEC files are generally written to use the same compile which we used if it is available and use gcc if it is not. 7. Q: Many of these tools have been available on AIX for years. Why the Toolbox? A: The Toolbox is provided as a convenience to AIX customers. Every AIX 5L customer will get a CD containing the Toolbox software, and AIX 5L customers on Power have the option of installing GNOME or KDE as the default desktop. 8. Q: Can I get a CD? A: There is no mechanism at this time to request a CD or to download an ISO image to burn your own CD. We are working on that issue. 9. Q: Is there a list of known problems? A: The reported bugs are accessible via the project page at http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/projects/aixtoolbox. Click on the "Bugs" tab to access the list. There are also some known problems listed in the README. 10. Q: Why is this release of the Toolbox incompatible with the version released in December, 2000? A: See the README for a full explanation. Basically, there was an implementation flaw in shared library handling in the first release which was incompatible with preexisting open source binaries built for AIX and which could not support multiple versions of a library. 11. Q: How often will the contents of the Toolbox be updated? A: The current plans are to update the CD delivered with AIX four times a year, though not precisely on quarterly schedules. The FTP site could be updated several times in a week, though the web site is not usually updated quite as often. RPM 1. Q: Why does rpm.rte take so long to install? A: rpm generally handles dependencies between packages by auto-detecting shared library requirements. It uses its own database to determine the shared library support provided on the system. The /usr/sbin/updatevpg program is run at rpm.rte installation time to add information about shared libraries installed via installp into the RPM database. /usr/sbin/updtvpkg examines every file delivered by installp to determine if it provides shared library support and that can take quite a while on older systems or on systems where many installp packages have been installed. 2. Q: Where can I find more information on using rpm? A: For basic information, run rpm --help. For detailed information, particularly if you want to produce your own RPMs, the best source of information is still "Maximum RPM" by Edward Bailey. It can be found online at http://www.rpmdp.org/rpmbook. 3. Q: I have gtk+ installed but I can't link to it? Why not? A: gtk+ and several other libraries had to be built with run-time linking enabled. In order to link with libraries which have been built using run-time linking, specify the -brtl flag to the linker. In some Makefiles and configure steps, this is done by setting LDFLAGS="-Wl,-brtl". If a library is available with a .so extension rather than a .a extension, then it was built using run-time linking support. run-time linking techniques are generally used when dependencies between shared objects cannot be easily resolved at link time. 4. Q: I downloaded an RPM, but rpm won't install it. Why not? A: It was probably corrupted during the download. Make sure that you downloaded it in binary form. 5. Q: rpm won't install an RPM because it is missing a dependency. How do I find out how to resolve that dependency? A: There is an RPM search facility at http://rpmfind.net which can help you determine which package provides a particular file or shared library. 6. Q: I installed a shared library using installp, but RPM does not recognize that the support is installed. What do I do? A: Run /usr/sbin/updtvpkg. 7. Q: How do I remove all of this stuff? A: Use the contrib/destroyRPMS script available on the CD and FTP site. Apps 1. Q: What level of gcc is provided with the Toolbox? A: That's a tricky question. The gcc and g++ compilers were built for IBM by a vendor with sources which are not all yet merged back into the public trees for gcc and g++ yet. 2. Q: I have the Visual Age compilers. Can I use it with the Toolbox? A: For C, yes. For C++, no. 3. Q: What's info? A: info is a documentation system common to Linux. Some applications install information into the info system rather than provide man pages. 4. Q: Why won't KDE start? A: Check to make sure that you have X11.samples.apps.clients installed. If you're on 4.3.3, then you need to have fixes installed for X11.base.lib and X11.base.rte.

Whenever I try to display threads in gdb, I get a message box popping up with the text "Couldn't restore frame in current thread, at frame 0". I click OK, and a window comes up with the title "Processes" and Thread 1 listed. The error pops up every time I step in the debugger until I close the "Processes" window, then everything seems to work fine. Is this a bug, or do I need to adjust my build? I'm compiling with these options currently: g++ -c -gxcoff -fhuge-objects -mthreads ... g++ -gxcoff -mthreads -Xlinker -bbigtoc ... Is there anything I need to add to these options? Thanks, Mike Allen |
