I'll backcheck ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-binreloc (to see if that combo accomodates the invalid $PREFIX/etc) if someone requests it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: SilverspurG (silverspurg) Date: 2005-02-13 09:16 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1187435 w00t! You guys are wonderful. The solution might be in the --disable-binreloc OR It might have been related to the nonexistant sysconfdir generated from $PREFIX/etc. It's possible that there is a faulty check for the validity of the sysconfdir which causes the program to exit that particular loop abnormally. I don't know enough about the codebase to tell without taking a day or two out to study it. For academic interests' sake I'm going to try building with only the --syconfdir and without --disable-binreloc. I'll post the results in 10-20 min. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: SilverspurG (silverspurg) Date: 2005-02-13 08:51 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1187435 Since I'm not having much luck with wxWidgets and I don't want to get into apache, ftpd, or emacs just yet... ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-binreloc And I'll post the results in about 10-20 minutes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tim Ringenbach (marv_sf) Date: 2005-02-13 08:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=790708 Sean said to put them in ~/.gaim or ~/.gaim/plugins and that the smileys directory wasn't being desended into, gaim was just looking at it as if it were a file, noticing it's a directory, and then not loading the directory as a plugin since that doesn't make sense. Since you're compiling everything anyway, just ./configure --disable-binreloc --whateverelseyouneed The binreloc code is probably making Gaim see that it's installed in /mnt/.hda9/usr.lfs/bin and causing it to look for its prpl's in /mnt/.hda9/usr.lfs/bin/../lib/gaim ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: SilverspurG (silverspurg) Date: 2005-02-13 07:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1187435 I was wondering about the .../etc/gaim/prefs.xml as well. /usr/bin is a symlink to /mnt/.hda9/usr.lfs/bin. This setup helps me to migrate my OS from one partition to another (typically from Debian to LFS) and back at will while keeping the install/root/boot partitions fixed at 5 gb. There is no /etc/gaim nor /usr/share/gaim. /proc is mounted. I've tried both linking and cp'ing all the protocols to ~/.gaim/smileys (apparently that directory is parsed). No luck. In the add account box, the protocols line has a proper dropdown box. When I click it, it shivers as if it wanted to do something and adds a few extra pixels in in the upper left hand corner of the drop-down region. I could use gdb to get a backtrace to this point, if anyone thinks it'll help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2005-02-13 06:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 i suspect that "Error reading prefs: Failed to open file '/mnt/.hda9/usr.lfs/etc/gaim/prefs.xml': No such file or directory" might be caused by symlinking /etc, or does --prefix change us from looking in /etc to looking in /usr/etc? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Hongli Lai (hongli) Date: 2005-02-13 06:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=37342 Is /usr/bin a symlink to somewhere else? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tim Ringenbach (marv_sf) Date: 2005-02-13 06:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=790708 Hmm. Is /proc mounted? What's this prefs: "Error reading prefs: Failed to open file '/mnt/.hda9/usr.lfs/etc/gaim/prefs.xml': No such file or directory" stuff? Do you have some symlinking in ~/.gaim? If it's a binreloc issue, Gaim won't be finding any image files, etc, and should look pretty odd. Although it also won't display the protocol icon for an account that it can't load the protocol for. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sean Egan (seanegan) Date: 2005-02-12 23:29 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=199625 Note this does imply that moving all the plugins to ~/.gaim will make it work. -s. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sean Egan (seanegan) Date: 2005-02-12 23:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=199625 It just probes the directory listing of ~/.gaim which smileys/ happens to be in. It would just retrun ENOTAFILE or whatever and continue. I'm suspecting this is a binary relocatability issue and am handing it off to Tim. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: SilverspurG (silverspurg) Date: 2005-02-12 21:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1187435 It doesn't even probe smileys completely. On the odd chance that it might be a simple bug I copied the .so libs to ~/.gaim/smileys. Still no luck. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2005-02-12 13:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 okay, the plugins are there, but is probing smileys for plugins, which is both odd and wrong, and not probing anywhere else that it should be. I do not know what is up with your build. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: SilverspurG (silverspurg) Date: 2005-02-12 12:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1187435 03:23 PM max@elemental:~$ which gaim /usr/bin/gaim 03:38 PM max@elemental:~$ ls -l /usr/lib/gaim total 31748 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 789 Feb 12 13:53 autorecon.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 185794 Feb 12 13:53 autorecon.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 777 Feb 12 13:53 docklet.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1212096 Feb 12 13:53 docklet.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 807 Feb 12 13:53 extplacement.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 545003 Feb 12 13:53 extplacement.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 852 Feb 12 13:53 gaim-remote.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 561951 Feb 12 13:53 gaim-remote.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 783 Feb 12 13:53 gestures.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1285768 Feb 12 13:53 gestures.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 777 Feb 12 13:53 history.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 550567 Feb 12 13:53 history.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 783 Feb 12 13:53 iconaway.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 544593 Feb 12 13:53 iconaway.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 759 Feb 12 13:53 idle.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 212257 Feb 12 13:53 idle.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 765 Feb 12 13:53 libgg.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 535088 Feb 12 13:53 libgg.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 771 Feb 12 13:53 libirc.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 950006 Feb 12 13:53 libirc.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 789 Feb 12 13:54 libjabber.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2419807 Feb 12 13:54 libjabber.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 771 Feb 12 13:54 libmsn.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5261731 Feb 12 13:54 libmsn.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 795 Feb 12 13:54 libnapster.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 223794 Feb 12 13:54 libnapster.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 789 Feb 12 13:54 libnovell.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1142280 Feb 12 13:54 libnovell.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 783 Feb 12 13:54 liboscar.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3198163 Feb 12 13:54 liboscar.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 783 Feb 12 13:54 libyahoo.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1548961 Feb 12 13:54 libyahoo.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 789 Feb 12 13:54 libzephyr.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5035046 Feb 12 13:54 libzephyr.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 771 Feb 12 13:53 notify.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 565619 Feb 12 13:53 notify.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 850 Feb 12 13:53 perl.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2271646 Feb 12 13:53 perl.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 771 Feb 12 13:53 relnot.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 214000 Feb 12 13:53 relnot.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 783 Feb 12 13:53 spellchk.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 563871 Feb 12 13:53 spellchk.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 900 Feb 12 13:53 ssl-gnutls.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 198112 Feb 12 13:53 ssl-gnutls.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 873 Feb 12 13:53 ssl-nss.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 300291 Feb 12 13:53 ssl-nss.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 753 Feb 12 13:53 ssl.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 179534 Feb 12 13:53 ssl.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 801 Feb 12 13:53 statenotify.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 181860 Feb 12 13:53 statenotify.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 781 Feb 12 13:53 tcl.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 880832 Feb 12 13:53 tcl.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 771 Feb 12 13:53 ticker.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 888529 Feb 12 13:53 ticker.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 789 Feb 12 13:53 timestamp.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 557029 Feb 12 13:53 timestamp.so 03:39 PM max@elemental:~$ gaim -d sound: Initializing sound output drivers. plugins: registering plugin-load signal plugins: registering plugin-unload signal plugins: probing /home/max/.gaim/smileys accounts: Error reading accounts: Failed to open file '/home/max/.gaim/accounts.xml': No such file or directory prefs: Reading /home/max/.gaim/prefs.xml prefs: Reading /mnt/.hda9/usr.lfs/etc/gaim/prefs.xml prefs: Error reading prefs: Failed to open file '/mnt/.hda9/usr.lfs/etc/gaim/prefs.xml': No such file or directory pounces: Error reading pounces: Failed to open file '/home/max/.gaim/pounces.xml': No such file or directory status: Error reading statuses: Failed to open file '/home/max/.gaim/status.xml': No such file or directory (when closed) main: Unloading all plugins prefs: /gaim/gtk/plugins/loaded changed, scheduling save.
