Help with fixing package

Almost a year ago, the SVN URL for the redeclipse-svn package changed. At that time, it was orphaned, so I adopted the package and fixed the URL in the PKGBUILD. Since then, I stopped playing the game. Now, when I try to install it on my new computer, the package function fails. Being inexperienced with PKGBUILDS, etc., I would like some help in fixing the package.
Here's the package function:
cd "$srcdir/$_svnmod"
make -C src/ DESTDIR="$pkgdir" prefix=/usr \
appname=redeclipse cappname=REDECLIPSE \
appsrcname=redeclipse \
system-install
install -Dm644 doc/all-licenses.txt "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE"
And here's what I get when I try to makepkg:
==> Entering fakeroot environment...
==> Starting package()...
make: Entering directory '/home/sub/aur/redeclipse-svn/src/redeclipse/src'

Sorry for derailing this. Karol, the size was only an issue for me - that doesn't seem to be related to the OPs problems. I don't know where the 800MB figure came from, but nearly 2GB of space were used up before the svn checkout stalled due to running out of space - the download never even completed. I didn't try again after that as my download speed isn't that good and it would take a long while to just confirm what I already suspected about the Makefile.

How to read the 'Input help with fixed values' of domain .

How to read the 'Input help with fixed values' of domain .
The domain has a Value range i want to read those values .
Are these values stored in any table ?
Plz help me i need it ver badly...
Thanks in Advance...

Hi Chandra Shekhar,
To read the 'Input help with fixed values' of domain , you can use the function module : HR_P_GET_FIXED_VALUE_TEXT.
iIf you enter the domain name, you will find the fixed values entered in the domain.
These values are stored in a table DD07L(DD zero 7 L). Here the values are stored based on domain name.
See if it works for you.
Award points if its helpful.

Need help with Nagios package

I'm attempting to build a Nagios package, and I'm pretty close, actually have it installed and running, BUT...
when I run the web interface, it calls some CGI files, and I get an error that it can't find them. It can't find them because it's looking for them in /repo/packages/nagios/usr/sbin/nagios/sbin (with '/repo/packages/nagios' being our local repo where the package was built, and '/usr/sbin/nagios/sbin' being where it should be looking for the CGI files.)
I cheated by setting up that path and copying the files over, just to get it working, but obviously my PKGBUILD needs some help. I think the problem is pretty simple (just like me) and probably has to do with a configure prefix (with 'cgiurl' being the likely culprit.)
Here's my package build, any help would be greatly and fantasticly appreciated.

Thank you,

Definitely, if I ever get it working properly. However, since I have it working it working well enough for our purposes, I won't be putting a whole lot of time in the PKGBUILD.
Thanks to Cactus for the advice above, but the build failed (don't have the error message handy.)
This was for Nagios 1.2, I may try building a package for Nagios 2.0b4 and see if I have any luck.

Help with workflow - Package etc.

We just started using Package to update our running file... a small publication twice monthly, with lots of photos, pdf's etc. instead of the links file getting bigger and bigger with age, package will bring forward only what's repeating, right? - Looks good so far. Now we want to generate our print version, mostly b&w, some spot color, but offer advertisers the option of sending color ads to be used on the web version. First impression is, they're gungho... Haven't figured out how to get this accomplished just yet. Thought to make up the regular file, save, make plates etc. then copy, swap the color stuff in and make PDF's for the web... but where to put the color stuff, in the regular link folder, it'll start growing immediately, but maybe still manageable. Making sense? Any good ideas would be welcome... the web version is frontlinebuses.com (((it's elementary, we know... we're really bus folks, not design artists...))).. Thanks By the way, still using CS3. L W

Somehow in our process we've avoided problems, every issue opens and works perfect (has for years now). We do use a save-as often, they may be the key... We're looking at several ways to accomplish the color for web thing.
Well, that's what everyone says rith up to the point where the file fails catastrophically, usually just before deadline. Consider yourself luck and living a good life.
Save As isn't going to get rid of cumulative corruption, it just either overwrites or creates a new copy of the file with the same corrupt components. It will remove useless change history, though. When you start fresh from the template each time you are always saving a second-generation file so the odds of problems are vastly smaller than the odds with a 52nd generation file.

Please help with bean package problem - serlvet can't find package

Hi,
I'm fairly new to java web development, and I can't make any good learning progress due to an error I just can't seen to fix. It seems humiliatingly trivial, but I can't get past it.
Explanation:
I'm experimenting with beans, and I've created a very simple servlet called AppSetup to create a LinkBean instance and store it in the servlet context for later retrieval. My problem is that the servlet wont compile because it's telling me the package in which the LinkBean class file is in doesn't exist.
The servlet is in package org, and the bean is in package org.bean. This is the import statement in the servlet:
Code:
import org.bean.*;I've also tried:
Code:
import org.bean.LinkBean;and
Code:
import bean.*;I've tried all sorts of different package structures, but I get the same following error for all of them:
Quote:
C:\tomcat\webapps\chub\WEB-INF\classes\org>javac AppSetup.java
AppSetup.java:14: package org.bean does not exist
import org.bean.*;
^
AppSetup.java:19: cannot find symbol
symbol : class LinkBean
location: class org.AppSetup
LinkBean lb;
^
AppSetup.java:23: cannot find symbol
symbol : class LinkBean
location: class org.AppSetup
lb = new LinkBean();
^
3 errors
edit
Server is Tomcat 5.5
Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks.

The bean class has to be in the classpath. The classpath variable informs the compiler\jvm where to find the .class files that are being referred.
To set a classpath,
javac -classpath C:\tomcat\webapps\chub\WEB-INF\classes;C:\tomcat\webapps\chub\WEB-INF\lib;C:\tomcat\common\lib;.; AppSetup.javaThere are 3 paths in the classpath variable above.
1.\WEB-INF\classes => Your class files
2. \WEB-INF\lib => Your app library files (.jar files)
3. \common\lib => common library .jar files
4 The dot (.) => current directory.

Please help with importing packages

I am trying to learn the Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) API. I have successfully installed java2SDK.
I downloaded the JAI library (jai-1_1_2-rc-lib-windows-i586.exe) and have installed it.
After installation, I added the JAI lib to the CLASSPATH.
CLASSPATH = C:\java\jai-1_1_2-rc\lib
when I try compiling a demo program from this tutorial page:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/javaai/jai/src/FrontPage.java
I get these errors,
package javax.media.jai does not exist
import javax.media.jai.JAI;
how do I know which directory to copy the JAI lib files to so that
this import statement can find JAI
import javax.media.jai.JAI;
please help if you can
Thanks
John

Hi,
You have to give the full path of the jar file in classpath along with the jar file name
something like CLASSPATH = C:\java\jai-1_1_2-rc\lib\jai.jar ...see the jar file name and include that also

Help with fixing geotags

I am in the process of having a service scan my old photos for importing into iPhoto 9. All the photos so far (about 2000) have no places as would be expected from a scanned photo. But some (about 300) have several different places in China. China is no doubt a wonderful place, but I have never been there & China in not in "My Places" so I'm not sure what iPhoto did during the import from DVD.
My question is how can I remove the incorrect location & put it back as "none"?
One solution I saw was to reselect the place & drag the pin to another place, I could not get this to work & I would prefer to remove the location entirely until I get all these photos in their respective events & dated properly & then begin working on the various places.
I have another 1600 photos out being scanned now & I want to solve this problem before I import more photos. Also whatever the fix is I can just look at the last import & fix those each time until I have worked my way through all the rest of my photos. (about another 5000).
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I don't recommend just deleting the EXIF data. If you're somewhat comfortable with using the command line, it should be easy to losslessly fix the incorrect longitudes with http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
Something like:
exiftool -GPSLongitudeRef=W badgpsimage.jpg
will set the longitude to the Western hemisphere. (It also makes a backup copy of the original, which you'll want to delete unless there happen to be problems with the modified image. This is very, very unlikely, but better safe than sorry.)
Hope this helps!

Help with Fixed layout book.

Recently uploaded a fixed layout book to apple. It was rejected, and as usual we received a onliner from Apple - (blurry, pixelated, split across page breaks, etc.) The book is 150dpi and meets all Apple's guidlines. Any suggestions on what else we can try? The book has art running across 2 pages. Is this not allowed?

Okay, after taking a look at the book on my iPad, and digging into the epub file on my Mac, I have a couple of ideas as to why it wasn't approved (and, yes, I'd agree, the one-liner from Apple could have been more specific).
First, on my iPad, the book is not actually opening as a fixed layout book. It's opening as a regular book with your images flowing as text. With the images flowing as they are, many are browen across page boundaries (as you'd see in, say, MS Word, when an image is pasted across a page break), and this is probably why Apple mentions pages being split. In digging into the epub file I didn't see a com.apple.ibooks.display-options.xml file, which is where you specify various features for the book, including fixed-layout. You need this file in the META-INF folder.
The second issue is actually much larger, and likely the reson Apple responded as they did. Each page in your book is stored as one big jpeg containing both graphics and text (sort of like a PDF), and each xhtml page merely inserts that image in the flow of your book. Apple requires that images not contain text, as this makes it impossible for readers to search the contents or use other features of iBooks such as the dictionary and copy'n'paste. Text embedded in an image does not scale when zoomed in the same way that standalone text is able to scale and be re-rendered as a true font.
I think you'll need to readdress how your pages have been laid out. Separate the text from the graphics and treat them as independent objects in your HTML and CSS. You might be able to get away with removing all the text from each of your jpeg images and still having "full bleed images" that are simply missing all the text, then layering in the text via HTML.
Hope that helps!

I made a directory on the site with the exact same folder structure but I may be missing something. I thing that maybe it because if i rename or move the folder from where is at on the desktop it gives error in flash. How would i go about doing the import so it will read from a website directory.

Are you running Norton Internet Security or anything similar? There have been reports that Norton and similar firewall products treat an upgrade as a new application and so you have to go in and reallow connections for iTunes. Check the settings and if necessary remove and re-enable the exception for iTunes (consult your privacy filter's documentation for the appropriate procedure). You may also need to check the built-in Windows firewall as well.
Hope this helps.

Newbie help with Fixed IP configuration / Machine Record

I have a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard Server. It has a fixed IP, and runs a variety of web services, iCal Server and Address Book Server. I've been having problems getting VPN to work (can connect from client OK, but not able to get any traffic through the VPN subsequently).
In the process of trying to work out what is wrong with VPN, I noticed an oddity with the 'machine record' in DNS. The server was configured initially while connected to a LAN, but now runs with a fixed IP / FQDN outside the LAN.
DNS is set up with the original machine name (sls.2gc.org) assigned to the original 192.x.x.x address it had when first configured. The reverse entry is also based on this 192. number.
This name and 192.x.x.x number also appears in the 'Workgroup Manager' in the machine record.
The new configuration has the machine assigned to a FQDN that is not the same as the original machine name (2gc.org, rather than sls.2gc.org), and a different IP address (77.44.50.51).
Question is do I need to do anything (does the mapping to 192.x.x.x matter). If so, do I simply run changeip to correct the number / name, or do I have to also manually change the Workgroup Manager and DNS entries too?
Thanks in advance for any help.

You need a second IP for the server which you can use to get at services in the server itself.
If you try to use the main IP, even when the VPN is up, the traffic will not go through the VPN but direct and will then be stopped by the firewall.
From what IP-range does the VPN client get it's IP?
If you need to go through the VPN and then to Internet (via the server) you need to have NAT running.
NAT requires the firewall running and you'd also need ipforwarding (automatically on when firewall/NAT is on).
The server can have a second (private) IP added to an alias en0 ethernet interface.
I'd prefer using a NAT router/firewall between server and Internet or a second (LAN) interface in the server. Some use Apple USB -> ethernet adapter but you also have the AirPort one (but it won't make a good AP and you only get WEP encryption).
