Solaris 8 make utility needed

I am running solaris 8 on an intel celeron system. I have been trying to install Oracle 8i but with no success. I require the sun make utility for compilation of the program. I have tried the gnu make utility but it doesn' t work completely. I someone could send make a copy of the utility or tell me where it can be found the would be very helpful.

The make you are looking for should be in /usr/ccs/bin. You can type whereis make to locate it if it's not in the above path.

low level Hex disk edit & search util needed- suggestions please?
Maybe It's just late & I've had a bad day.... but I haven't needed a low level Hex disk edit & search utility suitable for an Intel 10.4.x Mac until now and can't seem to locate one.
There should be plenty of free/shareware options (because they're handy and not particularly hard to write ... and every tech head needs one some time)...
Any suggestions please?

Such a high-esteem for fellow human beings - and
programmers...
You know, there are some good decent nice people
behind those names?
You'd be amazed at how much testing goes into a product.
[SNIP]
g'day Hatter...
Yes, I know there are some good decent nice people behind those names..fellow human beings - and fellow programmers (so yes, I do know...) In previous incarnations I have 'thunk up' and developed, Marketed & supported considerably more complex Apps & systems myself - I even know some of the people you mention personally - and they are usually decent Blokes/women but normally, it isn't the programmers who make the decisions on pricing/features/support/performance/upgrade costs & cycles etc...
My only error was, I agree, the phrase 'without exception' - but (mainly) only because I haven't bought/tested & used all of them very very recently. So I offer my apologies to those to whom my remarks should not apply (long, late night/early morning frustration...)
However, I also offer a few simple pertinent examples:
One 'top name' Utility company had a 'save your Mac HD' product on the market for some time that was almost guaranteed to TRASH it irretrievably but did NOT say so - nor did they help or compensate those they harmed.
Several are selling what amount to simple, pretty, GUI shells for 'free' or OS-included command line tools - no more, no less but do NOT say so and are asking good money for the 'software'.
Many are asking ridiculous prices for "regular upgrades" so you can keep their tool current with your Mac OS - one wants US$100/year for it, another, $15 per u/g, others, US$25 or $40 per u/g; one asks 'only' $10 - and these 'upgrades' are happening 3,4,5,6 times per year and are necessary for the Marketing company to keep their product Saleable to new purchasers and new Macs (as well as for important Bug Fixes - and only co-incidentally to keep it performing with your current Mac and OS - which is what you paid them for in the first place).
I won't pay for a product 3, 6 or 9 times and I won't advise my clients to: It's not unreasonable for a person to expect a 'sensible lifetime/currency' of Product X for Computer Y - say 3 years (e.g. AppleCare). I wouldn't object to paying for an "upgrade" at that point - IF it's worth the money.
Software is Waaay too expensive in many cases and is simply inviting 'piracy' - from people who have already PAID for the product: sadly, they are killing their own Gooses.
Seriously, one product costs ca. US$100 to Buy in the first place
To keep it actually working for you costs about the same again Per Year - a 3 year 'sensible lifetime' or 'currency' cost of US$300 or $400! [That'll buy a lot of 'bare drives' to put in a handy Firewire case for automatic backups in Background, differential backups etc. and other simple practices which render this product type largely unnecessary ].
For what? A relatively simple set of utilities which would actually cost the company involved less than $5 total each - over 3 years - to make available to existing ( or 'current') owners. [Applecare 'complete' Hardware and Software warranty & support on a US$2000 iMac - which includes Tech Tools Pro Deluxe or somesuch costs about US$165 for 3 years. Total.]
Having designed, developed, Marketed, supported & maintained more complex Applications to/for a sizeable user-base (in US terms) over multiple complete Series of Product 'life-cycles' - regular Updates and all, I think I know where the pirates are.
These practices have been rampant in the MSWindows™ market for a longtime. It's a real shame to see it in the Mac world.
I have all the esteem in the world for those fellow human beings who deserve such - and programmers who are 'good decent nice people'.
I have none to spare for monopolists, 'exploitationists' or any of those who take unfair/unreasonable advantage of their fellow human beings - AND of programmers who are 'good decent nice people' (like, say, ME... .
In any event, as I said: they are "killing their Gooses": I know of at least 6 software companies which went this route a while back. All are dead or dying.
Thank you for your help - and the opportunity to apologise for 'mis-speaking'.
all the best,
orig g4 733, many others thru (the luvly) Macintels New & old Macs, Wintels, MacIntels, other systems...

Unable to find make utility

hi everybody,
i'm trying to install a Oracle 8.1.7 Release3 Db server on Solaris 8. I've already done all necessary settings (/etc/system and so on).
the problem is that during installation i get this message:
"Unable to find make utility in location: /usr/css/bin/make"
i try to check this location and i can see "usr" belongs to root. i see "usr" and i see "css" in it, but i can't get in "css"! not with root either...
any hint about this message???
Thank you!!!
Matte

the problem was i had an installation of Solaris 8i "End user distribution" instead of "Entire Distribution" so that some executable files (like make) were missed.
but now i have another problem: during installation i get this error:
error writing to /opt/oracle/product/8.1.7/Apache/jdk/bin
java wrapper
i've checked the permission and they are ok, then i don't understand why a normal installation gives an error trying to write on an existing path a file taken from the installation cd!
i'm performing a standard installation and it's a standard and stable Orace 8.1.7.
what's happening???

How to make "Utility" button in Printer Setup Utility available

There, i add a printer in the Printer Setup Utility and select it. i want to open printer utility, but the "Utility"
button in Printer Setup Utility is dimmed. In addition,
"Printer\Configure printer" in the Printer Setup Utility menu is also dimmed.
How to make "Utility" button in Printer Setup Utility available?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jiong,
That button is to acess the printer utility for that particular printer, not all printers come with a utility. If you have the disk that came with your printer, you can see if it has a Macintosh driver, if it does then it mimght have the utility with it. It's pretty hard to run the utility on its own, its burried somewhere in the system so that's why you have that menu item. You can alternatively go on the internet and download the latest driver, which might have a utility. All the utility will do will give you options to check nozzle patterns, alighnement, ink tank levels, and cleaning options - just mimnor maintenence junk, non-essentials, etc. I think Tiger just comes with a whole heap of generic drivers for different printer lines, can't say for sure.
I wouldn't worry about it, especially if you have a relatively old printer.
Hope that helps

I'm new to Solaris 10 and need help to setup ftp server

hello!
I just installed Solaris 10 and I'm trying to setup an ftp server (with ftpd) but I don't know how to do that
my server doesn't need any security or authentication
I'm looking for the default shared files directory
Also wondering what to change in what configuration file...
This OS looks quite similar to some linux I used before but the differencies are big enough to drive me crazy
anyway thanks for your help.
Any advice is welcome :-)

cd /etc/ftpd
vi ftpusers
put a # in front of root and any other users that you wish to be able to ftp
then svcadm restart ftp
If you want to set up an anonymous ftp server, there is a little more involvement

New to Solaris...need help with netra T1

I want to learn a form of Unix and thought Solaris would be a good place to start. I purchased a netra T1 in a package deal with some other equipment and am having a learning experience. The box came with Solaris 9, currently running 5.8. I can get the LOM interface up...I can get to the lom> prompt and the $ prompt but can't get any commands suggested by the install manual to work. The Netra T1 has a CDROM so I am trying the boot cdrom command...following is the sequence of events:
$boot cdrom
boot: not found
Any suggestions or links to documentation is appreciated.
Brittan

On the Netra you have three levels - lom (Lights out managment) is the 'bottom' level. From here you can control power to the box, etc
The next level is the OBP (Open Boot Prom) - This is the one you need to be at in order to do your boot cdrom
The top level is the OS running - if you've got a $ prompt, then chances are you're logged in as someone other than root on the server with the OS running.
To get to the OBP you'll want to be root. Assuming you know the root password type su -
supply the root password when prompted. Your $ will now change to a # this indicates you are now the superuser (root).
Now you can issue commands such as shutdown, halt, etc
shutdown -g0 -y -i0 (those are both zero) will tidy shutdown the box to the OBP
alternatively, if you're going to reinstall the OS anyway, you don't really care about a tidy shutdown and halt will do the trick
you're now at the OBP prompt ( ok> )
from here you can type boot cdrom
cdrom is an alias setup on the system and should be set to point to the CDROM device on your Netra

Hi, I'd like to ask this question again and see if I didn't make my needs clear enough. Sorry if I was vauge before but this should help. I need to sync my old mac to my new one.

Here's my problem...The latest version of Quicktime as new as it sounds doesn't support screen recording on a powermac G5 Motorola chip with OS 10.5.8 which is the highest os I can go with that machine. If I can sync the two computers so I can get the application to record from my newer computer then I'm ok. I just don't have the recording application for audio that I'm using to demo for the website on the laptop as it's about 10,000 dollars. So, I have to use the older computer to do the audio presentation and try to get the newer computer synced to it so I can use the new version that works on snow leopard to record a screen shot that will hopefully appear on my laptop instead of the old machine. Hope that makes sense. It's a bit confusing but in a nutshell it's like this:
1. I am a Pro Tools Instructor which is the state of the art application and recording device for audio and movie scoring and I have a new job where I make small snippets of tips using Pro Tools which I'd like to record with quicktime on screen as they happen
2. the best version of Quicktime Pro available for the Power Mac, OS 10.5.8 will not do screen recording on it.
3. I can use the Quicktime application from my newer laptop but I need to sync it to the old machine
4. I'm hoping but I don't know, if I do this, that I can record Pro Tools in action from my new machine buy seeing it on this laptop screen and then recording it with the new quicktime.
5. If I can sync the two computers, I'm hoping this can happen but I can't use my ethernet connection as I have it used to connect to my recording console and can't afford to buy anything new like an ethernet hub yo connect the two so I'm hoping that there's another way to connect them.
I hope that makes sense and that possible you or someone else can help. Thanks so much! Scott

Search in Internal Table Utility -- Need Pointers

Hi Experts,
As per my requirement i need to search for words in internal table and arrange internal table based on ranking i.e record which has maximum no. of hits should come first.
Example: search for a string 'media rent'.
Incoming internal table records.
row1------>   col1: rent                    col::xyz
row2 -
>   col1:media rent          col2:media
row3 -
> col1: rent                     col2:media media
I need to compare each word in col1 and col2 and arrange the rows based on ranking like this:
final internal table
row2 because it has maximum no. of search term
row3
row1
I found out 2 ways to do the above but facing some issues and need your suggestions:
Solution 1:
By using regualr expression i am searching as OR expression on itab.
and using FIND ALL OCCURRENCES OF REGEX command on each column of internal table
Issue: when row3 is scanned for 'media rent' it will give 3 counts i which will lead to move row3 on top in final table due to maximum no of counts.
Is there a way to neglect 2nd occurence in the word ? I cn't use find first occurence here.
Solution 2:
Split search sting 'media rent' into internal table
itab1
media
rent
and search for each word in each row of internal table and make use of counter something like this.i am unable to proceed further here
I am stucked with what kind of logic should be here ?
Looking for your suggestions here.

Hi fried,
Try the code below it works fine.
TYPES : BEGIN OF ty_text,
        text1 type char11,
        text2 TYPE char11,
        count TYPE i,
        END OF ty_text.
data : t_text TYPE TABLE OF ty_text,
       x_text TYPE ty_text.
DATA : v_count TYPE i.
x_text-text1 = 'rent'.
x_text-text2 = 'xyz'.
append x_text to t_text.
x_text-text1 = 'media'.
x_text-text2 = 'media'.
append x_text to t_text.
x_text-text1 = 'rent'.
x_text-text2 = 'media media'.
append x_text to t_text.
loop at t_text INTO x_text.
if x_text-text1 eq 'media' or x_text-text1 eq 'rent'.
v_count = v_count + 1.
endif.
if x_text-text2 eq 'media' or x_text-text2 eq 'rent'.
v_count = v_count + 1.
endif.
x_text-count = v_count.
MODIFY t_text INDEX sy-tabix FROM x_text.
clear v_count.
ENDLOOP.
SORT t_text DESCENDING by count.
If you face any issues please revert back to me i will help you.
Thanks,

BJ Printer Utility needs Classic stopped

I have a Canon i450 printer connected to my iBook G4 via USB. When I use the BJ Printer Utility to perform maintenance tasks like checking/resetting the ink level, cleaning heads, or changing printer settings, it usually doesn't work when Classic is running. It pops up:
Error Number: 19
Utility function cannot be used because the printer is performing processing. Make sure the printer has finished the processing, and try again.
I usually leave Classic running in the background all the time, so it's annoying having to shut it down just for this. Is there some setting in Classic I can change so that it won't interfere?
Ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

If the printer requires OS X 10.3.9, there is no driver available to run it natively in OS 9 or in Classic mode in OS X. To print from a Classic application in OS X, there must be an OS 9 driver for the printer, and yours has none. The best you will be able to do, as far as printing from your Classic apps is concerned, is save the files they create in a file format that one of your OS X-native applications can open, and print them from that application.
Preview can open native Photoshop files, JPEGs, PICTs and TIFFs, so you can save images from Photoshop in any of those formats and be able to print them from Preview. If your Quark files can be saved as PDFs or EPS files, Preview can open those, too.

ITunes Plus FAQs doesn't make sense: Needs a tutorial and clear instruction

Hi,
My wife and I have spent over an hour trying to "simply" purchase anything in iTunes plus and the FAQ's don't help. I haven't a clue how to do it, or would I really want to given the the Question (if I'm reading it right) "Can I still buy music encoded at 128kbps with DRM?" Answer: No.
If I won't be able to buy the usual iTunes music available at 128kbps that makes up the majority of iTunes music purchases (hardly anything i want is available in itunes plus) why would I want to cut myself from buying the larger available music source? I must have misunderstood this, but as we can't seem to find a way to upgrade yet, prices still reflect the itunes music, (no link to a plus version or a plus price) iTunes haven't exactly made upgrading songs transparent. I think they need to post a tutorial to show the process.
When I click on the itunes plus I'm presented with an album and 3 songs from my own library (not my wife's even though we were in that when we clicked on the upgrade) I guess I can upgrade those if I take up the special offer. But no information beyond that. No info on what that will do to her library, my library, future purchases not available in iTunes plus, etc.
Concerns about upgrading a library of a few hundred songs and being billed for all that is putting me off taking up the offer at the moment.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Tracks are available only in two formats: the "normal" format of 128 Kbps AAC with copy protection which makes up the bulk of the content on the iTunes Store, and iTunes Plus tracks (currently offered only on music from EMI and from a few independent labels) which are 256 Kbps AAC without copy protection. As of several months ago, the price for Plus and non-Plus tracks is identical and you don't have a choice of which you select; if a track is iTunes Plus, it will not be offered in the lower-rate copy-protected format (there's no reason why anyone with sense would not want their tracks as iTunes Plus).
So when you go to buy a track, if it's iTunes Plus, that's the way you'll purchase it and the only format in which that track will be available. You'll be able to tell by the "+" symbol next to the price.
As to upgrading, when you click on the iTunes Plus link and then Upgrade, the iTunes Store will then show any tracks you have purchased - and it's by the iTunes Store account you are logged into (it's based on the account's Purchase History), not the library currently in use that governs what upgrade options are shown - that are eligible for upgrade to Plus. Depending on what label released the tracks you bought, there might be many eligible for upgrade or only a few (or none). When you upgrade (and you have to upgrade all the tracks at once; you can't pick and choose), iTunes will give you the option of just replacing and deleting the old tracks, or replacing them and keeping them. If you choose the latter, iTunes will move the old versions to a separate folder.

Does Solaris fit my needs?

Hello people. I decided to move to Solaris 10, but just wanted to ask you a couple of questions. The first question is the Solaris 10 the right system for me? What i want to do with it? Well, i planned to install Sol10, and to do the web serving (but not via Internet, just Local Area Network (stupid I know)). What precisely I want to do? I want to set up a dynamic web site (like PHP nuke), and to host content like music, video and films on my computer (that will run on sol10 and ofc apache), so that my sister on other comp. and my neighbours can easily add some files, our family photos etc... So the question that i want to ask, is can I do it with Solaris 10? (I know...stupid question, because the Sol10 is the most advanced system on the planet). Is that what I want too hard to realise with Solaris 10 (i mean, must I type for hours in shell, and do that crazy stuff). So to summarize, if i was splutter. I want to install on my PC Solaris 10, and to set up the web server (apache) that will have one MySql database, PHP support and I think nothing more. Is this (apache, and php support) included in standard Installation of Solaris 10?
Second question is how should I set up the network? In the install How to i found this
he Network Connectivity screen appears. (NOTE: If your system is a stand-alone system, you should skip to step 17 set system time and date.) Otherwise, if the system is attached to a home broadband connection, most of the default options will be correct. Simply select the Networked option and DHCP Server on the next screens and follow the remainder of this guide. If the system is attached to an office LAN, ask the system administrator if a DHCP server can be used. If so, select the Networked option and DHCP Server from the next screen, and follow the remainder of this guide.
Should I use DHCP or not? If this will be a server, should I use static manually defined IP adress? or DHCP will be fine. I do not have any experience with Solaris and other versions of Unix`s and Linux`s. I have DHCP on windows, but my IP is fixed (always 192.168.0.1, and it says that is Manually Configured, but Windows do it all alone, but my sister that access to my network have Dynamic Ip, in this range (192.168.) and it says Assigned by the DHCP. My major problem is how to set up the network, because I don`t know much about networks, and about Solaris. Thank you very much for you answers and support
Sincerely, Oziris

Samba is what you are looking for. It is built in and you will have to follow the sun docs on how to set it up. It is not the easiest thing in the world but it will be a good lesson in frustration, I mean learning experience for you.
Your friends can then access shared directories on the server allowing them to upload/download html, pictures, and whatever else you need.

The "make" utility - do the conditiional macros really work?

Hello,
I've tried to use conditional macros in the makefile like this
SETTINGS = stub
target1 := SETTINGS = somefile
include ${SETTINGS}
target1: ....
No way - when I call the make with "make target1" it stiil includes the "stub" file, NOT the "somefile". Is anybody using this feature? If yes, what did I do wrong?
My OS is Solaris 5.8
My make is /usr/ccs/bin/make
Doc about this make is:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/806-0624/6j9vek5ac?a=view
Thank you,
Alex

I doubt if you can use the conditional stuff to vary include files.
I suspect it does a pass at the beginning to do the including and get the "complete" file
before it does any serious processing of the make rules...

Airport Admin utility- needs update?

I recently bought a MacBook Pro (yay!!) which will be replacing my 3 yr old PowerBook G4. The old PowerBook was the "administrator" for my Airport Network, which is one of the older "white"ones. I am able to detect, connect to the internet, etc., etc. with my MacBook, but when i attempt to "administrate" the Airport network I get a message saying "that I need to update my Airport Admin Utility software." So far everything else i fine.....strange?????

Have you run Software Updater from your Finder Apple Menu?
