Installing swftools on FreeBSD using port tools

By -
Doing a pkg_which swftools show nothing, and swftools needs to be installed. So what I did,
I changed directory by

cd /usr/ports/graphics/swftools/

then issued command

 make install clean


and encountered this error


===>   jpeg-8_1 depends on package: libtool>=2.2 - not found
===>   Found libtool-1.5.26, but you need to upgrade to libtool>=2.2.


so I issued portupgrade command to upgrade my libtool by

 portupgrade -r libtool

then

cd /usr/ports/graphics/swftools/

yet, another error I encountered.


===>   An older version of graphics/jpeg is already installed (jpeg-6b_7)
      You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
      by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
      If you really wish to overwrite the old port of graphics/jpeg
      without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
      in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1


Then jpeg needs to be upgraded, I did uninstall the jpeg tool located in "graphics/jpeg" under ports directory thru command:
cd ../jpeg
make deinstall
make reinstall

then I go back to 

cd /usr/ports/graphics/swftools/

and install thru command

make install clean

After installation is finished, try issuing the command pdf2swf to test if it's properly installed and here's what I got:
Usage: pdf2swf [-options] file.pdf -o file.swf

-h , --help                    Print short help message and exit
-V , --version                 Print version info and exit

-Q , --maxtime n               Abort conversion after n seconds. Only available on Unix.

so it's installed now. After I see it's already installed, I issued the command 

pkg_add -r swftools

However, I got an error

Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.3-release/Latest/swftools.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.3-release/Latest/swftools.tbz' by URL
root@mullimps21:/usr/ports/graphics/swftools > pkg_add -r swftools-0.9.0_2
Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.3-release/Latest/swftools-0.9.0_2.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.3-release/Latest/swftools-0.9.0_2.tbz' by URL

but that's ok. pkg_add command installs the package to put under pakage list



So that's all I did. Hope this helps ;-)

Using Oracle 11g thru VirtualBox appliance in Mac OS X Lion

By -

I just found that its quite a lot of handy work to make Oracle work in Mac OS X Lion. Currently, I have this quite cool machine with good memory anyway, so I decided to step the easy way, than the "too-much-time-to-work way". So, I just decided to use VirtualBox with Oracle's pre-built virtual appliance with Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition. To use this, I use the steps below. 1. Download VirtualBox at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/databaseappdev-vm-161299.html 2. Download the virtual appliances at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/databaseappdev-vm-161299.html then just follow the steps. 3. I added some specific ports, since I access it thru  NAT so whenever I am, it's easier for me just to hook up my virtual appliance and turn it on. So you can issue these command in your terminal, $> VBoxManage modifyvm "OTN Developer Days" --natpf1 "ssh,tcp,,2222,,22" $> VBoxManag...

Use Shell Editor for Eclipse for editing bash, ksh, csh in Unix/Linux system

By -
Image
I found ShellEd when googling for any shell editor. It was trouble at first because there's no  how-to that directs me, where I expect to have a direct link that I can copy-en-paste to my Eclipse for installation. So what I did, I download ShellEd (as of this writing file version ShellEd-Update-2.0.0_M3.zip) from sourceforge.net and install, as required, the Linux Tools . After installing Linux Tools, I then locate thru archive the ShellEd zip file and install it successfully. It works good and I feel satisfied with this cool tool to be embedded in eclipse. The sample attached shell script is from JBoss twiddle. It does supports syntax highlighting, intellisense which is cool. Hope this helps.

LVM: How to remove a volume using pvremove

First, I encountered this error "Can't pvremove physical volume "/dev/sdc1" of volume group "nova-volumes" without -ff" (I'm actually using OpenStack but it's another story). So to remove this, do first, ~# pvscan   PV /dev/sdb1   VG nova-volumes    lvm2 [1.82 TiB / 1.82 TiB free]   PV /dev/sda5   VG cloudmaster     lvm2 [297.85 GiB / 12.00 MiB free]   PV /dev/sdc1                      lvm2 [1.82 TiB]   Total: 3 [3.93 TiB] / in use: 2 [2.11 TiB] / in no VG: 1 [1.82 TiB] Then, when I do, ~# pvremove /dev/sdc1  Can't pvremove physical volume "/dev/sdc1" of volume group "nova-volumes" without -ff So I need to, ~# vgreduce nova-volumes /dev/sdc1   Removed "/dev/sdc1" from volume group "nova-volumes" Then do `pvscan` again, ~# pvscan   PV /dev/sdb1   VG nova-volumes    lvm2 [1.82 TiB / 1.82 TiB free]   PV /dev/sda5   VG clou...
