Aperture with Scanner and other related questions

One month ago I've purchased an iMac 24", and I'm planning to buy Aperture.
If some one can help me, I have these Questions:
1.- Can I scann from Aperture importing from my Scanner Epson Perfection 3170 and put the pics on the Aperture Gallery?
2.- Which file format TIFF, DNG?
3.- Why use VAULT if I have an external HD and I use Time Machine
4.- It make sense use Photoshop Elements if I buy Aperture?
5.- Can I import on Aperture the keywords I've created on BRIDGE?
Thank you
Best regards
Luis

Hi. Point three the vault backup is aperture just being safe, yes the time machine is great and will work trust me. If god forbid there is a small fire from a power pack etc you can loose the pc and backup drive this is the point of the vault make another backup keep the drive at work for safety simple. The vault is great for making incremental backup very fast. Point 4 elements works a treat with aperture you can set it as external editor if you need too, the pair complement each other and the best thing elements is cheep now.

New PB 15" Fans, SMS, Temps, Gfx and other related questions!!

Hi All,
Apologies if this is a long one - I have a few points to raise.
As a new 15" PB user I have spent the last week or so scouring these boards for information on my new baby. Much of it has been interesting, and I'd like to address a few of the issues raised.
Fan Noise
Some folks have mentioned a constant but quiet noise from a fan on the unit. i too am aware of this, but it is not the cooling fan, but the HARD DRIVE. I recently upgraded my whisper quiet iBook with a Seagate Momentus 5400rpm 80 GB drive, and the sound on my new PB is exactly the same as that which began after this HD upgrade -these hard drives are slightly noisier than slower models, but i'm happy to live with it as it is non-intrusive.
As to the fan/s themselves on the powerbook - when do they actually turn on? I'm used to the iBook fan kicking in after 20 minutes or so of World of Warcraft, but I have still yet to hear my Powerbook fan outside of running the Apple Hardware Test. How hard do you need to push the machine before they come on?
Temperatures
I can see that there is an issue with most temperature readers in that they don't update on the PB properly. I'm using the latest version of Temperature monitor which seems to update, however the readings seem weird to me:
Graphics Processor 100C, Power Supply Bottom 48C, Processor Bottomside 40.8, Processor /Controller Bottomside 41.5C, Hard Drive 36C, Trackpad 32.5C.
Are these in line with evryone else's? I am concerned specifically about the graphics processor reading, which is odd, as I am simply sitting here typing this with no other apps open. initially thought the program may have picked up on the battery charge rate, as it varied from 97-100, but sometimes it will change erratically for no apparent reason.
Ticking in 3D apps
This may or may not be a new one. When I'm playing 3D intensive games with the sound muted I notice a ticking noise coming from the centre of the unit under the keyboard - it's not hard drive related. The ticking changes in speed depending on the scene shown on the screen, and seems to be consistent with the frame rate, i.e the ticking slows down as the framerate does. Anyone else notice this really weird behaviour?
Apple Hardware Test
When I received the unit a few days ago i ran the Apple Hardware test and was surprised that when we got to the video memory part the screen suddenly went allpatchwork coloured for about 15 seconds. The screen then returned to normal and the test was 'passed'. Is this normal?
Sudden Motion Sensor
The AMS tracker tool at kernalthread.com didn't work on my SMS equipped iBook - I really wanted to try out the little toys the author made where you rotate your machine and the display rotates to suit - a bit like a £1400 version of Warioware Twisted...
Anyway, it doesn't work on my new PB, even though it was specifically designed to do so. I have noticed some issues on here about SMS, so does anyone else with a new Hi res powerbook have the same problem?
Well that's about the total of my observations for the moment - any comments/suggestions would be most gratefully received!

Hi David --
I have comments that might help with regard to a few points in your post.
Re fan noise: I have a Seagate Momentus 100 GB 5400 rpm factory installed and it's whisper quiet. I can't hear it over the noise of my typing even in a quiet room.
Re temps. I, too, have Temperature Monitor v. 3.1 installed. It was the first temp monitor (credit to Ned Snowing for turning me on to it) that appears to update its temperature readings on my PB. I have six temp readings, like you, but none of them are marked graphics processor. Where you have graphics processor, I have "Battery Temperautre." Maybe it's because you have the October 2005 revision PB and I have the February 2005 revision, i don't know.
My temps, starting with "battery" and then following the same ones as you outlined in your post, are: 31, 41.4, 40, 43, 35, 33 all º C. That 100º C reading you have has to be wrong, because it would surely well exceed the outer limits for the machine -- I don't see any category with a specified outer limit temp higher than 82º C.
Can't help on 3D gaming, not really what I use the PB for.
As for the AHT, I haven't run it in a while, but if I remember correctly, the patchwork graphics for 15 minutes thing that you describe is just the AHT doing its thing and testing your PB's graphics capabilities as part of its diagnostic process.
Finally, as far as the Sudden Motion Sensor issue goes, you might find the following (I warn you, very long) thread regarding the effect that upgrading to 10.4.3 (which I see you are running) had on people's SMS. Here's the thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=228309&tstart=50 the long and short of things appears to be that on many people's PB's (mine included), upgrading to 10.4.3 appears to have messed with System Profiler's ability to report accurately the status of the SMS. It also effects the AMS and the ability of the programs you described to tap into the SMS. You need to read the entire thread carefully to get all the subtleties of what's going on, and no one seems certain as to whether the problem is just a reporting one or whether the issue goes deeper and actually implicates the functionality of the SMS itself. I'm done with it, frankly, until Apple comes out with either a statement (unlikely) or a new update (likely) that hopefully fixes the situation. It's bee reported to death through proper channels.

Problem with youtube and other video websites

I have a problem with youtube and other video websites:
Everything is up to date (flash, FF, my plug ins..) but i keep getting freezes when the video loads. I can hear sound but i can only see the first frame of the video.
I've reinstalled flash/firefox or tried updating them again for about 4 times now and my cookies/cache has also been errased which i usually don't do. If i enter FF's safe mode it also freezes.
I hope someone could help out, i've searched for answer on google before and tried everything i saw but it didn't helped.
grts,

Hmm, so that person had a conflicting plug in.
Problem is that whenever i enter firefoxes safe mode which disables every plug in, i still have the youtube freeze/crash

My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps. How can I correct this?

My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps. How can I correct this?

If you are sure that you have sound in other apps - and if you can still hear keyboard clicks and get notifications, then system sounds are not muted. Try this and see if it works.
Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Try downloading them onto the iPad normally. If you're asked to pay for them, you can't.

Is Samsung Galaxy 4 compatible with iMac and other Apple products?

Is Samsung Galaxy 4 compatible with iMac and other Apple products?

Yes, the s4 is compatible with music and photo transfers between your imac. I don't have experience with the cloud, but it should be the exact same thing.
Now, there will be a few differences between how you get the files onto said device. With the iPhone, you may be able to do it wirelessly, but with the s4 you will have to plug it in.
The s4 will not work with iLife or iLife applications either. However, bigger screen, more customizable ui and experience with samsung phones personally, I would recommend the s4 over the iPhone 5.

Partion drive with TM and other data already on it

hi folks
I'd like to partion an ext. FW drive with TM and other data (music files) already on it. can this be done w/o erasing the data already on the ext. drive?
Thanks,

If I already have, as I mentioned, my iTunes music and Time Machine data on this ext. FW drive, can I place the data in each new partition?
that's right, the data should be preserved. it will remain on one partition and a new empty partition will be created below it. you can move your Music library to the new partition. DO NOT move your TM backups. they can not be moved using Finder.

Aperture - library management and external HDD question

Hi all.
I have just graduated from a point and shoot to a Panasonic GH2 (love it), and have now begun using Aperture 3 rather than iPhoto on my early 2008 MB Pro to manage my photos going forwards. Of course, I’ve now discovered that Aperture is quite the resource hog and so it’s upgrade time (darn, “have” to buy a new ‘puter!). I have a 2011 MB Pro (2.3Ghz i7 with 512GB SSD) on order and 8GB of DDR 3 arriving from Crucial. Since I have this brand-new-computer opportunity I want to make sure I’m organising things properly before I start transferring things across, and so have a few Aperture-related questions. (In case it’s relevant, I’m shooting in RAW+JPEG. So far I’ve been using RAW as master, but have since learnt it might be a good idea to import JPG as master and switch to RAW only when I need to make corrections, so I’ll probably do that going forwards.)
I understand that moving to referenced masters on an external drive might be a good idea and save me precious SSD-space. To that end, questions are:
1. Can anyone recommend a companion external HDD for Aperture and the 2011 MBPro? I guess either FW800 or Thunderbolt are the way to go. The Lacie Little Big Disk Thunderbolt might be an option but is this overkill for Aperture masters or would FW800 be sufficient. I’ve also seen the G-Tech G-RAID mini, Lacie Rugged – thoughts welcome.
Key requirements are a) as compact as possible, and b) bus powered.
2. What kind of performance can I expect if I go down this route? Is there going to be significant loading/processing delay whenever I switch to a new image?
3. How will Aperture cope with (eg) syncing photos to iPad / iPhone if the drive containing the masters isn’t connected? Put another way, are JPG renders saved in the Aperture library (i.e. on my MBP SSD) or with the masters?
Thanks in advance to anyone who responds!

OWC (an excellent vendor) has the Elite Pro Mini hard drive that meets your specs:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/EliteALmini/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
Thiunderbolt drives are not mainstream yet but eSATA and FW800 both work well. The multiple connection methods of OWC drives allow very desirable flexibility when purposing/repurposing drives.
Note too that the MBP optical drive can be replaced with up to a 1-TB hard drive DIY or OWC will do it for you. That is what I am doing with my 17" 2011 MBP.
2. Is there going to be significant loading/processing delay whenever I switch to a new image?
SSD latency is orders of magnitude less than hard drives. Switching to a new image even fast hard drives with fast connectivity add significant latency delay. To avoid that what I do is leave (Referenced) Masters on the SSD until all editing is complete (which may be a few weeks). Only then do I use Aperture to change the Referenced Masters location from the SSD to a large external drive.
What kind of performance can I expect if I go down this route?
With Masters on the SSD and 8 GB RAM imports/exports are very fast and all Aperture editing is essentially instant. You will be pleased!
Suggested workflow steps for Referenced Masters:
• Use a FW card reader or MBP slot to copy to a file folder on the SSD (never directly into Aperture or any other images management app). With fast camera cards copy times are quick, but cheap slow cards can slow this step down a lot.
• Eject and physically disconnect the card reader.
• Back up that file folder on external drive(s).
• Only after backup is complete, reformat the camera card in-camera.
• Import images into Aperture from the file folder on the SSD.

LDAP syncronization with Oracle DB. Related questions.

Hello everybody,
The problem / objective: I have an Oracle DB with information for clients (ie). And I want to store that information in an LDAP server and have that information syncronized with the Oracle DB.
I alredy read A LOT about this but no luck. I have tried ApacheDS and Microsoft AD for the LDAP servers. I was able to install both of them and I was able to create a trigger in my OracleDB in order to trigger actions and add/delete/update records on the LDAP server. But, I need that the trigger works both ways. So I need a trigger in ApacheDS or AD. And here is the problem. This is not supported.
While reading about this, I found information about Oracle Internet Directory. So, here is my first questions:
1- Is OID an Ldap Server? I believe it is, but, is like Apache DS or AD? (In other words, is like a service which I can connect and implement CRUD operations?)
2- OID is just supported/deplyed with Oracle 11g?
3- Can I synchronize my Oracle DB with OID? I mean, if a change is made in the Oracle DB then this change is implemented on the OID, and backwards. (like triggers, in both ways)
4- If OID is like AD, then, is this the best LDAP server to use?
And talking about Microsoft Active Directory (AD), how can I achieve this?. I read about third party tools to do this (Quest Quick Connect, Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager), but I want to find another solution like triggers. (If is possible, if not.. then is not a solution :) ).
Probably the questions are not very clear (the problem is clear), but I have a mess in my head now.. and I want some council about this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Firstly I would suggest you to upgrade your database from Oracle Release 11.2.0.1.0 to Oracle Release 11.2.0.2 . This is the recommended Oracle 11g database version for SAP solutions. Many of your problem will get resolved with it.
Question 1:
So my first question would be is there any other suggestions besides adjusting the mentioned parameter above in order to ensure that no work processors going into hang state due to RFCs' occupying it as this issue always happens at the end of the month only when there are massive users accessing it.
For immediate resolution the approach you have followed is correct viz limiting number of dialog processes for RFC. Secondly you need to analyze why RFC processing takes so much time. You need check which programs are getting executed by those RFC.
Generate EarlyWatch report for more detailed view
Question 2:
My second question is what went wrong with the libttsh11.so file. How could it be 0 size in PRD when no signs of changes had happen to the PRD system. Is this a proven Oracle Bug or something else since I have never encountered anything like this before.
The libttsh11.so library cannot be found in the related directory.
Cause
The file system is mounted using CIO option, but per Note 257338.1 Direct I/O (DIO) and Concurrent I/O (CIO) on AIX 5L, an ORACLE_HOME on a filesystem mounted with "cio" option is not supported.
Such a configuration will cause, installation, relinking and other unexpected problems.
Solution
Disable the CIO option on the filesystem.

Posible p4n diamond heat problem and other beep question

Hi was using my p4n diamond for about 2h 30min and it all of a sudden just cuts out with no warning.
im unsure if its heat related thought the constant 55C is not as good temp as i should probably have but it stays stable there.
Also when i recently installed msi core it said i was very close to the voltages it had in the display just to hope to rule out power problems.
i have the cases 120mm exaust fan in the back an 80mm input fan in thefront and then the cpu fan that came with my pentium d 830 .
if its heat related should i get another 80mm fan as an exaust or an 80 mm input fan. i have one more spot on the door of the case.
----other beep question--
I was also wondering about the beeps on my computer. when i first was working with this pcc i had no beeps but then when working i had one beep before os then two after os and usb case plugs and floppy , 3 when i put on a printer and then back to one and then no beeps.
are these my beeps going down related to my heat or is this mother board short lived . one beeps soposed to mean that its loading properly
thanks

regarding your question about target temperature. my board isn't exactly the same as yours, but it's close.
you are right that you can lower the target temp and it will tend to cool the cpu because the fan runs faster at a lower temperature. the way i set up mine was to DISABLE the target temp and that gives the fan full voltage at all temps. that way, the fan rpm will bottom out at 2250rpm (instead of 1100rpm up to the target temp) or so even at lower temps.
also keep in mind that your cpu temp in the bios disply should be a few degrees HIGHER than the temp in "idle windows".
the intel data sheet for the pentium D 8xx series says that the max temp is 69C. so your cpu shouldnt have a problem at 55C.
i ran a prime95 primality test for about 17 hours at 60C to test stability (while using the computer for my normal foreground tasks) and didn't have a problem. i'm NOT recommending this. but i wanted you to know that this cpu doesn't have a problem with temps in the 60C range. and that msi motherboard will stand up to rough treatment.
also, in my humble opinion, i would NEVER run those msi windows utilities. they may be causing you a problem with stability. i use speedfan from almico to monitor temps and i have it set up to generate sound and visual warnings at certain temps. the F1 docs are good. if it were my system, i would go so far as to reinstall windows and format the C: to get rid of core center. i wouldn't even trust the uninstall unless you're good enough to surgically remove it manually.
also make sure you turn off EIST in the bios. it wont impact your temps significantly. that nvidia nforce sli intel edition has a problem with 14x multiplier and pentiumD. and EIST bumps you down to 14x occaisionally.

Adding a RAID card to help speed up export (and other drive question) in Premiere Pro CC

First of all, I have read Tweakers Page exporting section because that is where my primary concern is. First my questions, then background and my current and proposed configurations:
Question 1: Will adding a hardware RAID controller, such as an LSI MegaRAID remove enough burden from the CPU managing parity on my software RAID 5 that the CPU will jump for joy and export faster?
Question 2: If true to above, then compare thoughts on adding more smaller SSDs for either a one volume RAID 0 or smaller two volume RAID 0 to complement existing HDD RAID 5. That is, I'm thinking of buying four Samsung 850 Pro 128 GB SSDs to put in a four disk volume to handle everything (media/projects, media cache, previews, exports), or split it up into two volumes of two disks each and split the duties, or keep the four disk volume idea and put the previews & exports on my HDD RAID 5 array.
The 850's are rated at SEQ read/write: 550/470 MB/s thus I could get around 2000/1500 MB/s read write in a four disk RAID 0 or 1/2 that if I split into two volumes to minimize volumes from reading/writing at the same time, if that really matters with these SSDs?
The Tweaker's page made a few comments. One is splitting duties among different disks, rather than a large efficient RAID may actually slow things down. Since the SSDs are much faster than a single HDD, I'm thinking that is no longer accurate, thus I'm leaning toward the Four disk configuration putting OS & Programs on C drive, Media & Projects on D (HDD RAID 5), Pagefile & Media Cache on SSD (2-disk RAID 0) and Previews &Exports on 2nd SSD RAID 0 (or combine the two RAID 0's and their duties).
Just trying to get a perspective here, since I haven't purchased anything yet. Any experience/stories, I would appreciate.
My current drive configuration:
My D drive is software RAID 5 consisting of four 1 TB Western Digital RE4 (RED) 7200 RPM HDDs with a CrystalDiskMark SEQ Read/Write of 339/252 MB/s.
The C drive is SSD 500 GB (Samsung 840 (not Pro) and does 531/330 MB/s. My OS, Program Files and Page File are on C, and data/media files/project, etc all are on the RAID drive.
Problem:
Current setup allows for smooth editing, only the exporting seems slow, often taking between two and two and a half times the video length to export. Thus a 10 minute video takes 20-30 minutes to export. 15 minute video can take 30-40 minutes to export. The first 10% of the two-pass export takes under a minute (seems fast), but it gets slower where the final 10 or 20% can hang for many minutes like my system is running out of steam. So where is the waste?
I have enabled hardware acceleration (did the GPU hack since my GPU isn't listed) and it may spike at 25% usage a few times and eat up 600 MB of VRAM (I have 2 GB of VRAM), otherwise it is idle the whole export. The CPU may spike at 50% but it doesn't seem overly busy either.
Our timeline is simple with two video streams and two audio streams (a little music and mostly voice) with simple transitions (jump cuts or cross dissolves). We sometimes fast color correct, so that might use the GPU? Also, since we film in 1080 60P and export 1080 29.97 frames/sec, I think that is scaling and uses the GPU. I know without the GPU, it does take a lot longer. I have ruled out buying a faster GPU since it doesn't appear to be breaking a sweat. I just need to know if my system is bottlenecked at the hard drive level because I'm using software RAID and my disks are slow and will hardware RAID significantly reduce the CPU load so it can export faster.
Our files are not huge in nature. Most our clips are several MBs each. Total project files are between 5 GBs and 10 GBs for each video with Windows Media File export being 500 MB to 1.2 GB on average. We shoot using Panasonic camcorders so the original files are AVCHD, I believe (.MTS files?).
Considerations:
1. I'm thinking of buying (and future proofing) an LSI Logic MegaRAID 9361-8i that is 12Gb/s SAS and SATA (because some current SSDs can exceed the 6Gb/s standard).
2. I'm not replacing my current RAID 5 HDDs because not in my budget to upgrade to 6 or more large SSDs. These drives are more important to me for temporary storage because I remove the files once backed up. I don't mind a few inexpensive smaller SSDs if they can make a significant difference for editing and exporting.
I can only guess my HDD RAID is slow but the CPU is burdened with parity. I would imagine running RAID 10 would not help much.
My setup:
my setup:
CPU - i7-3930K CPU @4.5 GHz
RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3 2133 @2000
Motherboard - ASUS P9X79 WS LGA 2011
GPU - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 OC 2GB (performed the compatibility list hack to enable hardware acceleration).
C drive - 500 GB Samsung 840 SSD (Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and programs).
D drive - four 1 TB WD RE4 Enterprise HDDs 7200 RPMs in software RAID 5
Case - Cooler Master HAF X
CPU Fan - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO with 120 mm fan
Power Supply - Corsair Pro Series AX 850 Watt 80 Plus Gold
Optical Drive - Pioneer BDR - 208DBK
thanks in advance,

........software RAID 5 off the motherboard ??????......NOT a good idea, from what I have read here on this forum from experts like Harm Millard and others. They have mentioned a LARGE overhead on the CPU doing this....causing sub-par performance. RAID 0 off the motherboard will NOT do this, however.....RAID 0 would provide optimum speed, but, with the risk of total data loss if ANY drive fails. You may wish to reconfigure your RAID to be RAID 0...BUT...you would need to DILIGENTLY back up its entire volume onto perhaps a quality 4TB drive very frequently.
A lot depends on the nature of your current and FUTURE codecs you plan to edit. You may not want to sink a lot of money into an older setup that may have trouble with more demanding future codecs. For now, in the 1080p realm, your rig should be OK....the read/write performance on your CURRENT RAID 5 setup is not great, and a definite drag on the performance. The rest of your components appear to be fine.....the Samsung SSD, though not ideal, is OK.....it's write speed is WAY lower than the Pro model,but, the drive is used mainly for reading operations. Since you have Windows 7 Pro, and NOT Windows 8.......you CAN put the entire windows page file onto the RAID 0 you might create.....this will take that frequent read/write load OFF the SSD. Read the "tweakers Page" to see how to best TUNE your machine. To use your current setup most efficiently, without investing much money, you would :a. create the RAID 0 off the motherboard, ( putting all media and project files on it ) b. install a quality 7200rpm 4TB HDD to serve as a BACKUP of the RAID array. Then, install a Crucial M550 256GB or larger SSD, ( close in performance to Samsung 850 Pro...much cheaper), to put all previews, cache , and media cache files on....AND to use as " global performance cache" for After Effects...if you use that program. Exporting can be done to ANOTHER Crucial M550 for best speed...or, just to the either the FIRST Crucial or, the 4TB drive. Your current GPU will accelerate exports on any video containing scaling and any GPU accelerated effects. Your CPU is STILL important in SERVING the data to and from the GPU AND for decoding and encoding non-GPU handled video....your high CPU clock speed helps performance there ! You may want to check out possibly overclocking your video card, using MSI Afterburner.or, similar free program. Increasing the "memory clock speed" can RAISE performance and cut export times on GPU effects loaded timelines,or, scaling operations. On my laptop, I export 25% faster doing this. With my NEW i7 4700 HQ laptop, I export in the range of your CURRENT machine....about 2 to 3 times the length of the original video. PROPERLY SET UP...your desktop machine should BLOW THIS AWAY !!
Visit the PPBM7 website and test your current setup to possibly identify current bottlenecks,or, performance issues. THEN, RE-TEST it again, after making improvements to your machine to see how it does. Be aware that new codecs are coming (H.265 and HEVC,etc.) which may demand more computer horsepower to edit, as they are even MORE compressed and engineered for "streaming" high quality at a lower bandwidth on the internet. The new Haswell E...with its quad-channel memory, 8 core option, large number of PCI gen. 3 lanes, goes farther in being prepared for 4K and more. Testing by Eric Bowen has shown the newer PPro versions provide MUCH better processing of 4K than older versions.

Hi all.
I'm currently trying to install amarok music player onto Mac OS X 10.5.2,
I've already done so on an identical hardware configuration, under Mac OS X 10.4.x, and after a few compiling errors, and unmet dependencies, managed pretty well I thought.
This time my problem(s) is(are) different.
I've user what the amarok wiki ( http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/OnOSX ) describes as the "Amarok via Fink in complete" method, which is to say install fink, hit fink install amarok, and hope for the best... Having pushed through a few bits and pieces here and there, amarok is now compiled and installed.
But I get this strange error message when launching amarok, which then subsequently and very rapidly crashes :
[start code]
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: dscaler_greedyh_getmethod
Referenced from: /sw/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.10/post/xineplugposttvtime.0.0.0.so
Expected in: dynamic lookup
dyld: Symbol not found: dscaler_greedyh_getmethod
Referenced from: /sw/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.10/post/xineplugposttvtime.0.0.0.so
Expected in: dynamic lookup
[end code]
(I don't think the entire amarok debug output is relevant, it's just version 1.4.8 and the rest seems pretty standard to me, do please ask if you want the full gdb output though)
After looking up the dyld errors I found this :
http://naranja.umh.es/~atg/blog/archives/2007/01/entry_0.html
(quite old I know, but sound and the closest I found to my error)
which lead me to believe I should have compiled amarok, and for that matter libxine1 (which I compiled myself with the --with-external-ffmpeg flag because fink wouldn't do so...), with gcc set to version 3.3 (should I?)
I then discovered that gcc_select didn't exist in Mac OS X 10.5, nicked it of a 10.4, removed and tweaked it until everything worked fine on the 10.5 with gcc 3.3 (I compiled a test.c with no problem), and tried again... with no luck. I couldn't get xine, nor amarok to compile.
So my questions are these (after that lengthly introduction, bear with me please :
-firstly (or miraculously...) does anyone recognize or understand those errors amarok is giving out?
-secondly can someone please explain the situation with Mac OS X 10.5 and gcc versions <=4.0 'cos I'm really out of the picture here ?!
Thanks a lot in advance for any help, and sorry for the long post, I figure it's always best for folks to have an overall picture of things...
Kind regards,
Mark.

I'm sorry, I can't really help with xine issues, you'll have to
contact the xine maintainer.
As for getting amarok 1.4.x, if you want 1.4.8, I've already got
amarok 1.4.8 in fink unstable, your best bet is to not try to build it
by hand, and instead get it there...
-firstly (or miraculously...) do you recognize or understand those errors
amarok is giving out?
I recognize them as an issue with xine, but I don't know where the
errors come from.
-secondly can you explain the situation with Mac OS X 10.5 and gcc versions
<=4.0 'cos I'm really out of the picture here ?!</div>
gcc 3.3 does not exist on any of the intel platforms, except for
compiling backwards-compatible powerpc code. The first apple gcc that
supports x86 Mac OS X is gcc 4.0. You can't gcc_select it, if there
is something that supposedly requires 3.3, it won't work on 10.4 or
10.5, on an intel box, except building a complete powerpc application
and running it under rosetta.

So thanks a lot Benjamin, that solves that, no way to run gcc 3.3 on Intel Mac OS X 10.5, and the errors I'm encountering are from xine.
I guess I'll be chasing up the xine maintainer now!
Thanks all for you help guys, and see ya' !
Regards,
Mark.
