pkgchk -n -a -P / 2>&1 | less
pkgchk -f -n -a -P /etc/opt

1. Get intltool package (for example, from blastwave)

   If you use the bundled intltool, you will get the following error:

   Undefined first referenced
   symbol in file
   libintl_bind_textdomain_codeset bluefish.o
   libintl_gettext bf_lib.o
   libintl_textdomain bluefish.o
   libintl_bindtextdomain bluefish.o
   libintl_ngettext file.o
   ld: fatal: symbol referencing errors. No output written to bluefish-unstable
   collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
   gmake[3]: *** [bluefish-unstable] Error 1
   gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/bluefish-unstable-1.3.2/src'
   gmake[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

   gmake[1]: *** [all] Error 2
   gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/bluefish-unstable-1.3.2/src'
   gmake: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
2. Set the LIBS variable:
   export LIBS="-lsocket -lnsl -L/usr/csw/lib -lintl"
3. Put /usr/gnu/bin directory in the first place in PATH. For example:
   export PATH=/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/openwin/bin:
   /sbin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/csw/bin:/usr/local/bin

   The reason is two different xgettext programs. The configure script wants the GNU version:

   checking for xgettext… (cached) /usr/bin/xgettext
   checking for msgmerge… /usr/bin/msgmerge
   checking for msgfmt… (cached) /usr/bin/msgfmt
   /usr/bin/xgettext: illegal option — version
   Usage: xgettext [-a [-x exclude-file]] [-jns][-c comment-tag]
   [-d default-domain] [-m prefix] [-M suffix] [-p pathname] files …
   xgettext -h
   ERROR: Cannot open file –version.
   configure: error: GNU gettext tools not found; required for intltool

Update 15.02.2009 @ 14:04: Same for wine 1.1.15…

The following error:

Is caused by redefinition of the ERR function in the wrong place. To fix move #include "wine/debug.h" behind all includes in dlls/iphlpapi/ipstats.c:

Here's a quick way to upgrade one or both Solaris (tested with Nevada snv_107) and SqueezeCenter (tested with SC 7.4 24827).

1. Remove the CPAN directory in the SC root directory
   # mv CPAN CPAN.orig
2. Install missing CPAN modules
   # perl -MCPAN -e shell
   cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
   . . .
   cpan> reload CPAN
   cpan> install I18N::LangTags
   cpan> force install Scalar::Util
3. Disable Encode::Detect::Detector module in Slim/Utils/Unicode.pm (line 40). The module can't be compiled for Solaris.
   # vi Slim/Utils/Unicode.pm
   . . .
   #use Encode::Detect::Detector;

For e1000g (Solaris):
Change /kernel/drv/e1000g.conf to:

For rge (Solaris):
Maximum MTU supported by rge is 7000.
Change /kernel/drv/rge.conf to:

Then reboot.

The result:

Today I had to search through dozens of mail logs (syslog) located on several mail relays and find all entries related to a particular user.

Given:

• All servers are managed via a remote tty console,
• The ksh-script must be copy&pasteable
• All logs are gzipped
• I need all entries with the same message number (the ninth field) as the found log entry

This is what I came up with:
