However, the gnucash-docs package provides an HTML version for you to peruse; it is installed in /opt/ local/share/doc/gnucash (as mentioned in "port info gnucash-docs"). Or you could always decide to fix the yelp port. If you do, be sure to submit patches! :-) > Additionally, gnucash crashes when it tries to get stock quotes > from the internet. Never seen this myself, although Finance::Quote (the perl module used to do the dirty work) is known to be a bit picky and may hang for a long time if the web page it's reading from does not contain exactly what is expected. There's been a bit of discussion about this on gnucash-user. Please make sure to cc the list on replies. HTH! Regards, Marc

fresh install of port / xemacs issue
by belinda thom 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

Hi, I am repeating instructions for a G4 PB that I used to install the same configuration on my G5 Desktop. I began by installing port (via the 1.3.1 dmg and then running the selfupdate; port --version returns 1.320). I've tried to install xemacs via sudo port -v install xemacs +sumo +mule (just like I did on my other machine, about 1 mo ago), and it eventually dies with: --> Attempting to fetch xemacs-mule-sumo-2006-05-10.tar.gz from http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/xemacs/packages/ % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 Error: Target com.apple.fetch returned: fetch failed Warning: the following items did not execute (for xemacs): com.apple.activate com.apple.fetch com.apple.extract com.apple.checksum com.apple.patch com.apple.configure com.apple.build com.apple.destroot com.apple.install Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. any idea what's going wrong? I'd be very grateful for your input. Thanks, --b

What is wrong with Perl that I am getting _NSAutoreleaseNoPool() errors trying to run Frozen Bubble 2?
by Peter 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

Hi! I noticed that game Frozen Bubble 2 had a portfile made for it. So I tried compiling it last night.. after a gazillion dependencies it stopped because the portfile doesn't have Perl as a dependency which surprised me because Perl is already part of 10.4. So I manually installed Perl through MacPorts and then resumed the install of Frozen Bubble 2. It was able to finish the rest of the way and built it. So I have Apple's X11 running. I tried to run ./frozen-bubble in /opt/local/bin and it didn't work. I get a million errors such as: [SDL Init] 2007-01-10 12:01:00.918 perl[28734] *** _NSAutoreleaseNoPool(): Object 0x15140400 of class NSMutableParagraphStyle autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking 2007-01-10 12:01:00.919 perl[28734] *** _NSAutoreleaseNoPool(): Object 0x1513f4f0 of class NSCFDictionary autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking I also notice in the middle: Can't locate auto/SDL/IMGLoad.al in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/darwin-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level/SDL/Surface.pm line 26 All the errors seem to have Perl in common. Is there something I need to configure before the X11 app will work? Thanks guys! P.

VNC problems
by Ming F. Gu 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

Hi, I am having problems with both vnc and tightvnc ports on a MacPro(i.e., Intel) running 10.4.8. vnc builds and installs fine, but when the vncserver is launched, the texts in the xterm are mangled, and crashes in a short while. tightvnc doesn't even build. I get the following error messages. Does anyone have a fix? gcc -c -O2 -ansi -Dasm=__asm -I. -I../mi -I../include -I../../.././/exports/include /X11 -I../../.././/include/fonts -I../../.././ -I../../.././/exports/include -DCSR G_BASED -DSHAPE -DGCCUSESGAS -DNDEBUG -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWP ROTO -DMFBTEGLYPHBLT=mfbTEGlyphBltWhite -DOP=MFB_OP_WHITE -DCLIPTETEXT=mfbImageGly phBltWhite mfbtewhite.c mfbtewhite.c: In function 'mfbTEGlyphBltWhite': mfbtewhite.c:235: error: nested functions are disabled, use -fnested-functions to re -enable mfbtewhite.c:235: error: syntax error before 'char1' mfbtewhite.c:317: error: 'char1' undeclared (first use in this function) mfbtewhite.c:317: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once mfbtewhite.c:317: error: for each function it appears in.) mfbtewhite.c:317: error: 'glyphPointer' undeclared (first use in this function) mfbtewhite.c:318: error: 'char2' undeclared (first use in this function) mfbtewhite.c:319: error: 'char3' undeclared (first use in this function) mfbtewhite.c:320: error: 'char4' undeclared (first use in this function) make[4]: *** [mfbtewhite.o] Error 1 make[3]: *** [mfb] Error 2 make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make: *** [World] Error 2 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Just a couple of questions... What kind of "desktop access" do you need? As in do you need X11 or Aqua[0]? I find X11 is simple to setup[1] and use it all the time as I work mostly on machines with X11 (if they have any windowing systems). > > After some googling, I learned about VNCs, and that macports has both > a server (osxvnc) and a client (cotvnc). I have never used osxvnc, sorry. However I do have cotvnc (Chicken of the VNC), it's very simple to use. > > I've never used a VNC and am a bit worried that I won't be able to > set them up. You have to start the vnc program on the server (osxvnc or any other vncserver), then it's just a matter of starting your local vnc client and point it to the server. A side note, what's in between the server and client network-wise? Same network without any firewalls? > > Presumably, the server is the one that "serves up" the desktop, so > the remote machine would have to run that. I only have access to that > machine currently via Terminal and ssh. Yeap. Having only ssh access might be hard if you want to do non-X11 stuff. If it's X11 you don't really need vnc and just X11 forwarding will work. > Has anybody done this type of thing before? Any insight/advice welcome. Was any of this helpful? Or did I just make no sense at all? I hope I helped... Timothy [0] Am I correct in calling the OS X window system Aqua? You know the Cocoa stuff.... [1] Steps to use X11 remotely: - On your local machine (machine with the display) start X11 (Under OS X I think this is an additional package fro the developer CD. I can't really remember, sorry) - Make sure you are exporting your DISPLAY environment variable, this is normally along the lines of localhost:0.0. I have the following in my .profile: if [[ -z $DISPLAY && -z $SSH_CONNECTION ]]; then disp_no=($( ps -awx | grep -F X11.app | awk '{print $NF}' \ | grep -e ":[0-9]" )) if [[ -n $disp_no ]]; then export DISPLAY=`hostname`${disp_no}.0 else export DISPLAY=`hostname`0.0 fi fi Yes, I am a bit different.... :) - When connecting to the remote machine (server without the display), use ssh with X11 Forwarding enabled (`ssh -Y server`). I have the following in my .ssh/config: Host * Compression yes CompressionLevel 6 ForwardX11 yes Protocol 2,1 ServerAliveInterval 300 - On the server you should enable X11 Forwarding too. In /etc/sshd_config: X11Forwarding yes Now when you login to a remote machine you should be able run X11 applcations. Did any of that make sense or even address what you were asking? :)

VNC question
by belinda thom 09 Jan '07

09 Jan '07

Hi, I'm in a bit of a bind---I need to get desktop access to a machine that I don't have physical access to. After some googling, I learned about VNCs, and that macports has both a server (osxvnc) and a client (cotvnc). I've never used a VNC and am a bit worried that I won't be able to set them up. Presumably, the server is the one that "serves up" the desktop, so the remote machine would have to run that. I only have access to that machine currently via Terminal and ssh. Has anybody done this type of thing before? Any insight/advice welcome. Thx, --b
