Tips on Downloading RPMs with Netscape

In order to download an RPM file with Netscape, move the mouse cursor to a target link and, in the case of Unix, press the right button, or in the case of Mac, keep the mouse button pressed until a contextual menu popps up. Then select "Save Link As" and save the RPM file as "Source".

DR3 and Termination of This Page
Since DR3 is now available and most of the materials in this page became obsolete, I decided to terminate the updating of this page.
Use the update records for my DR3 directory in future.

DR3 Applications
I have moved to pre-DR3. I am going to renew this web site, accordingly. It's going to take some time. Meanwhile, you may try DR3 applications in the DR3 directory. These applications should work on a properly updated DR2.1, meaning DR3alpha5 with latest glibc and X11R6.3. As always, try them at your own risk.

May 8, 1998

Some New RPMs
Some new RPMs from ftp://ftp.mklinux.apple.com/pub/DR3/RedHat/RPMS/.

binutils-2.9.1-1a.ppc.rpm
glibc-0.961212-1g.ppc.rpm
glibc-devel-0.961212-1g.ppc.rpm
glibc-info-0.961212-1g.ppc.rpm
glibc-static-0.961212-1g.ppc.rpm
lesstif-0.83.05.04.JDK-1b.ppc.rpm
lesstif-clients-0.83.05.04.JDK-1b.ppc.rpm
lesstif-devel-0.83.05.04.JDK-1b.ppc.rpm
lesstif-mwm-0.83.05.04.JDK-1b.ppc.rpm
X11R6.3-01-1q.ppc.rpm
X11R6.3-100dpi-fonts-01-1q.ppc.rpm
X11R6.3-75dpi-fonts-01-1q.ppc.rpm
X11R6.3-devel-01-1q.ppc.rpm
X11R6.3-fonts-01-1q.ppc.rpm
X11R6.3-libs-01-1q.ppc.rpm
X11R6.3-man-01-1q.ppc.rpm
X11R6.3-PMac-01-1q.ppc.rpm

First update binutils and glibc:

# rpm -Uvh <somewhere>/binutils-2.9.1-1a.ppc.rpm
# rpm -Uvh <somewhere>/glibc*-1g.ppc.rpm
Notice The long standing "Unresolved inheritance operation" problem has been solved with binutils-2.9.1-1a, glibc*-1g, and egcs*-1.0-2e
Before updating X11, make sure that your X11 is 1n or later. If not, you should follow the procedure described in the README for X11R6.3*-1n.
If you are 1n or later, go ahead and keep some modified files. In my case, I did:

# (cd /usr/lib/X11/locale/ja; cp -p XLC_LOCALE XLC_LOCALE.keep)
# (cd /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi; cp -p fonts.alias fonts.alias.keep)
# (cd /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc; cp -p fonts.alias fonts.alias.keep)
Then update X11:

# rpm -Uvh <somewhere>/X11R6.3*-1q.ppc.rpm
and restore the modifications. For my Japanized Netscape, I did

# (cd /usr/lib/X11/locale/ja; mv XLC_LOCALE XLC_LOCALE.ORIG)
# (cd /usr/lib/X11/locale/ja; mv XLC_LOCALE.keep XLC_LOCALE)
and for additional fonts or aliases,

# (cd /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi; mv fonts.alias fonts.alias.ORIG)
# (cd /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi; mv fonts.alias.keep fonts.alias)
# (cd /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc; mv fonts.alias fonts.alias.ORIG)
# (cd /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc; mv fonts.alias.keep fonts.alias)
# mkfontdir /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc
NoticeThe X11 update is mandatory because of the "Unresolved inheritance operation" fixup: applications using athena widgets would stop working otherwise.
By the same reason, I had to update some other toolkits:

# rpm -Uvh <somewhere>/lesstif*JDK-1b.ppc.rpm

Xaw3d was rebuilt with "EXTRA_DEFINES = -DARROW_SCROLLBAR -DUSEGRAY":

Xaw3d-1.3-13c.ppc.rpm
Xaw3d-devel-1.3-13c.ppc.rpm
and installed as

# rpm -Uvh <somewhere>/Xaw3d*-13c.ppc.rpm
# (cd /usr/X11R6/lib; mkdir libXaw.ORIG; mv libXaw.so.6.1 libXaw.ORIG)
# (cd /usr/X11R6/lib; ld -shared -soname libXaw.so.6 -o libXaw.so.6.1 libXaw3d.so.6.1)

Apr 26, 1998

JDK 115_v7
The latest version of Java Developer's Kit
Original from http://business.tyler.wm.edu/mklinux/dl/jdk115_v7.tar.gz which includes mwjit-971120. Thus you don't have to get it separately.
See this for more information.

Apr 25, 1998

Apr 22, 1998

Wip980421 or DR3alpha5
DR3alpha5 (wip980421-vmlinux + wip980421-default_pager + wip980421-Mach_Kernel) People say this is good for NuBus Macs!
If you want to go directly to Wip980421 from wip971117 or earlier, follow the steps in the wip980113 record with replacing

wip980113 Mach_Kernel by wip980421 Mach_Kernel
wip980113 default_pager by wip980421 default_pager
wip980113 vmlinux by wip980421 vmlinux

Wips were retrieved from ftp.mklinux.apple.com/pub/wip/ and are also available from

wip980421

See the README file coming with the wips for more information.

nfs-server-clients-2.2beta29-2b.ppc.rpm

They were installed as:

# rpm -U lesstif-*
# rpm -U nfs-server-*
You don't need update nfs-servers if you do not have LAN, of course.

Apr 12, 1998

New X11R6
As pointed out by T.Oe in (mklinux-jp 7958) it is now possible to input Japanese text into Netscape's forms with kinput2. See also (mklinux-jp 7962) for additional information.
See my installation note for details.
Netscape 4.05
The latest Netscape Browser
Using the latest X11R6.3 and the kinput2 with Honma's FilterEvent patch, one can now input Japanese text into forms. There is still some problem with XmText widgets, but one line forms (with XmTextField widgets) now work fine and enable web searches with Japanese key words.
See my installation note for details.

Apr 2, 1998

Some New RPMs
Some new RPMs from ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/linuxppc/redhat/RPMS/ppc/.

glibc-0.961212-1d.ppc.rpm
glibc-devel-0.961212-1d.ppc.rpm
glibc-info-0.961212-1d.ppc.rpm
glibc-static-0.961212-1d.ppc.rpm

They were installed as:

# rpm -U glibc-*

Mar 27, 1998

Some New RPMs
Some new RPMs from ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/linuxppc/redhat/RPMS/ppc/.

glibc-0.961212-1c.ppc.rpm
glibc-devel-0.961212-1c.ppc.rpm
glibc-info-0.961212-1c.ppc.rpm
glibc-static-0.961212-1c.ppc.rpm
info-3.9-7a.ppc.rpm
lesstif-0.83-1b.ppc.rpm
lesstif-clients-0.83-1b.ppc.rpm
lesstif-devel-0.83-1b.ppc.rpm
lesstif-mwm-0.83-1b.ppc.rpm
libg++-2.8.1.980306-1c.ppc.rpm
libg++-devel-2.8.1.980306-1c.ppc.rpm
texinfo-3.9-7a.ppc.rpm

They were installed as:

# rpm -U glibc-*
# rpm -U --oldpackage info-*
# rpm -U --oldpackage texinfo-*
# rpm -i lesstif-0.83*
# rpm -U lesstif-*-0.83*
# rpm -i libg++-2.8.1*
# rpm -U libg++-devel-2.8.1*

Note that -i was used above for lesstif-0.83* and libg++-2.8.1* to keep old shared libraries for backward compatibility. The --oldpackage option for info* and texinfo* were necessary in my case since the previous versions had release numbers which are bigger than the new ones.
JDK-1.1.5
The latest version of Java Developer's Kit
Original from http://business.tyler.wm.edu/mklinux/dl/jdk1.1.5.tar.gz which includes mwjit-971120. Thus you don't have to get it separately. After updating lesstif and glibc as above, the JDK was installed simply as:

# tar -zxvf jdk1.1.5.tar.gz -C /usr/local
which can be used as

$ export JDK_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.1.5
$ export PATH=/usr/local/jdk1.1.5/bin:$PATH
$ javac foo.java
...
HotJava1.1.2
A Java-based WWW Browser by Sun
Original from http://business.tyler.wm.edu/mklinux/dl/hjb112-generic.tar.gz.
The Japanization kit for jdk1.1.1 on i386 from http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~nf6h-hsmt/java.html was adopted to jdk1.1.5 on ppc and is available as jdk1.1.5-locale.tar.gz.
To install hotjava, you need jdk1.1.5 preinstalled. Provided that you have jdk1.1.5, all you need to do is just expand the tarball:

# tar -zxvf hjb112-generic.tar.gz -C /usr/local
If you want Japanese extension, do the following:

# tar -zxvf jdk1.1.5-locale.tar.gz
# cd jdk1.1.5-locale
# make
# make install
You can then try:

$ export PATH=/usr/local/HotJava1.1.2/bin:$PATH
$ export LANG=ja_JP.eucJP
$ hotjava

Mar 26, 1998

Netscape Wrapper Revised
There was a problem with the pervious one: Japanese subjects do not show up properly in the mail/news list window. Hopefully this version works better.
In order to use:

netscape-4.04-wrapper.tar.gz
you need to preinstall kinput2-v2fix4-2.
See this for installation instructions.
Kinput2-v2-fix4 for Canna and Wnn with Honma's patch (Shared)
The latest version of a kanji input server now available as RPM's with Honma's patch.
This version allows Japanese font specifications in Netscape's resource file for XmText, XmTextField, etc. I have, however, still not succeeded in Japanese input with kinput2.
See this for installation instructions.

X-VFlib
X Server with VFlib support built with DR3alpha4.
The project to adopt VFlib to the X server has been initiated by J.Takagi at http://karin.ip.titech.ac.jp/~takagi/X-VFlib/index.html (see http://www2.tky.3web.ne.jp/~roger/mklinux/x-vflib.html and links from it for details).
In order to make maximum use of TrueType fonts, it is highly recommended to use X-VFlib with freetype (a TrueType font rendering engine) and VFlib with freetype support. I have created binary RPMS for them:

freetype-1.0-1A.ppc.rpm
VFlib-FT-2.22pl10-1A.ppc.rpm
VFlib-FT-devel-2.22pl10-1A.ppc.rpm
VFlib-FT-VFjfm-2.22pl10-1A.ppc.rpm
Their corresponding SRPMS are:

freetype-1.0-1A.src.rpm
VFlib-FT-2.22pl10-1A.src.rpm
where the latter uses Matsuda's freetype patch available from http://itohws03.ee.noda.sut.ac.jp/~matsuda/VFlib-FT/index.html
The X-VFlib server itself has been built using X11R6.3-01-1E.src.rpm and the VFlib patch from http://www2.tky.3web.ne.jp/~roger/mklinux/x-vflib.html with a few modifications to make it work with the above freetype and VFlib-FT RPMS. The X-VFlib server has not been made into an RPM, since there are no freely distributable TrueType fonts that I know of and consequently it is impossible to decide fonts to include in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/VFlib/fonts.dir and /etc/vfontcap. The server is only available as a tarball: Xpmac-VFlib-bin.tar.gz.
To install X-VFlib:

$ su
# rpm -i <somewhere>/freetype-1.0-1A.ppc.rpm
# rpm -i <somewhere>/VFlib-FT-2.22pl10-1A.ppc.rpm
# rpm -i <somewhere>/VFlib-FT-devel-2.22pl10-1A.ppc.rpm
# rpm -i <somewhere>/VFlib-FT-VFjfm-2.22pl10-1A.ppc.rpm
# tar -zxvf <somewhere>/Xpmac-VFlib-bin.tar.gz
# mkdir /usr/lib/X11/fonts/VFlib
# vi /etc/vfontcap
modify font path according to your system configuration.
# vi /usr/lib/X11/fonts/VFlib/fonts.dir
specify fonts to use with VFlib.
See http://www2.tky.3web.ne.jp/~roger/mklinux/x-vflib.html and links from it for details.

Wips were retrieved from ftp.mklinux.apple.com/pub/wip/ and are also available from

wip980207

See the README file coming with the wips for more information.
Caution: Though I had not experienced any problem, people say "NuBus" Macs become unstable with recent wips. Install these wips thus at your own risk!
Binutils-2.8.1.0.20-2A
The latest version of binary utilities including ld, ar, as, nm,...
Original from ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/linuxppc/redhat/RPMS/ppc/

Installed as:

# rpm -U <somewhere>/binutils-2.8.1.0.20-2A.ppc.rpm
Wnn4.2 (Fully Shared)
Wnn4.2 Rebuilt with Morishima's Jserver Patch from (MkLinux-JP)
Thanks to (mklinux-jp) Re: Wnn4.2 by Akitoshi MORISHIMA (98/02/12), we can now use a fully shared version of jserver! I have rebuilt Wnn4.2 with his patch.
See README for installation instructions.

Feb 4, 1998

Egcs-1.0.1-1C
The latest version of EGCS: An Experimental Step In The GNU C Compiler Development, reported by Kodera in (mklinux-jp 6582) rebuilt with some additional patches.

Feb 2, 1998

Jp-Ivtools-0.6.1-1A
Japanized Ivtools: a framework for building custom drawing editors and servers.
See README for installation instructions.
A Note On Pstoedit
I have found pstoedit-2.60 incompatible with ghostscript-5.x (it worked fine with ghostscript-4.03). A possible workaround is to put "-psargs level1.ps", when invoking pstoedit.

Jan 24, 1998

Spice-3f4-4
Spice: A General-Purpose Circuit Simulation Program
See README for installation instructions.
Wip980123 or DR3alpha3
DR3alpha3 (wip980122-vmlinux + wip980122-default_pager + wip980123-Mach_Kernel)
If you want to go directly to Wip980123, follow the steps in the wip980113 record with replacing

wip980113 Mach_Kernel by wip980123 Mach_Kernel
wip980113 default_pager by wip980122 default_pager
wip980113 vmlinux by wip980122 vmlinux

Note: Though I had no problems since the installation of wip980113, wip980123 README motivated me to update my system to the latest.
Wips were retrieved from ftp.mklinux.apple.com/pub/wip/ and are also available from

wip980122
wip980123

Caution: Though I had not experienced any problem, people say "NuBus" Macs become unstable with recent wips. Install these wips thus at your own risk!

The latest version of EGCS: An Experimental Step In The GNU C Compiler Development, reported by Kodera in (mklinux-jp 6582)
See README for installation instructions.
Xmcd-2.2-1B: An Audio-CD Player for X11
The latest version with wip980113 which now alows volume control.
I have reactivated the volume control function which had been a cause of annoying error messages, since wip980113 now allows volmue control.
See README for installation instructions.

Jan 21, 1998

Wip980113 or DR3alpha1
DR3alpha1 (Wip980113+binutils-2.8.1.0.18-1E + glibc*-0.961212-1Y + gcc*-2.7.2-2O)

Jp-TkDesk-1.0b5-1A Revised
The latest version of TkDesk revised: the previous one has a problem with the mail tool, since the mail header flashing function is incompatible with Japanese extension: It malfunctions when there is any mail in the incoming mail box with Japanese characters in its header part.
If you have already install the previous binary package, comment out the line defining tkdesk(appbar,mail,headers,cmd):

# vi /usr/local/lib/TkDesk/configs/AppBar
...
# set tkdesk(appbar,mail,headers,cmd) "mailx -H"
...
# exit
$ vi ~/.tkdesk/AppBar
...
# set tkdesk(appbar,mail,headers,cmd) "mailx -H"
...

or use the revised RPMs:

Original source code from ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/ghost/aladdin/

ghostscript-5.10.tar.gz
ghostscript-5.10gnu.tar.gz
ghostscript-fonts-other-5.10.tar.gz
ghostscript-fonts-std-5.10.tar.gz

Official JP-patch by Tanaka from http://ldl-www.jaist.ac.jp:8080/~akr/nonresearch/free-software/ghostscript/:

gs5.10-vflib.tar.gz

The Jpeg-6a source code:

jpegsrc.v6a.tar.gz

the libpng-0.96 source code:

libpng-0.96.tar.gz

and the zlib-1.0.4 source code:

$ make >& make.log &
$ tail -f make.log
.....
^C
$ su
# make install >& install.log &
# tail -f install.log
.....
^C
I have created a precompiled binary package without the GS fonts which you might already have at hand: fonts are identical to those for v4.03 or v5.03.
To install the ready-made binary:

# cd /
# tar -zxvf <somewhere>/gs5.10-vflib-bin.tar.gz

and if you don't have fonts

# cd /usr/local/share/ghostscript
# tar -zxvf <somewhere>/ghostscript-fonts-other-5.10.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf <somewhere>/ghostscript-fonts-std-5.10.tar.gz

Notice that the binary requires the standard shared library support coming with update4 or greater.
You also have to preinstall "VFlib" to display Japanese text. Get Uchiyama's "VFlib" and install it as:

# cd /
# tar -zxvf <somewhere>/VFlib2.22pl9.bin.+zeit_font.tar.gz

New Netscape V4.04 for MkLinux
XmTextField Errors have gone!
Nobuhiro Murata pointed out in (mklinux-jp 5926) that the XmTextField errors have gone with the recently retrieved binary package with a file size of 5588717 bytes.
See this for installation instructions.
The remaining problem is that I cannot set the Japanese fontList resource to display Japanese bookmarks.

Nov 13, 1997

DR2.1 Update6
The latest update to DR2.1
The READEME file of the update emphasizes:

improved serial support
though the audio support sounds more like a fun for a NuBus Mac user like me.
To use the audio device, create device files by

$ su
# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV audio
# exit
$ ls au*
/dev/audio /dev/audio1
Then you can try something like:

$ cat <somewhere>/foobar.au > /dev/audio
If you are using TkDesk, try its sound option, too.
See the update note for details.

Nov 12, 1997

Netscape V4.04 for MkLinux
What a wonderful surprise! Now, we can run the netscape on MkLinux boxes.
See this for installation instructions.
The biggest problem right now is that I cannot retrieve any file with the navigator because of Motif's XmTextField errors.
Nevertheless, it's a great news!
Texinfo-3.11

ftp site
As I promised long time ago, I have finally set up an anonymous ftp site at:

ftp://www-jlc.kek.jp/pub/mklinux/Packages/dr2.1/shared/
At this moment, the ftp site only carries frequently accessed files including jp-tcltk, jp-tkdesk, g77, amd, nfs, ....
The organization of the directory structure is a temporary one. It might change in future. Be careful!

Man and Info Files for G77
Matsumura at Osaka Univ. pointed out that man and info files for g77 had been missing in the RPMS. As a temporary cure, I prepared them as a tar ball (g77-info.tar.gz). Sorry for inconveniece. I will include them in the next release for sure.

wip971027
Beta-test version of a tentative fix for the inode exhaustion problem that was reported with DR2u5. The symptom for this bug is a lot of "VFS: no free inodes - contact Linus" messages and a system that's nearly completely frozen.
Though I haven't experienced the inode exhaustion problem, the last phrase above was enough to motivate me to install the new Kernel-Pager-Vmlinux triplet from ftp://ftp.mklinux.apple.com/pub/wip/971027/:

default_pager.gz
Mach_Kernel.gz
vmlinux.gz

It's working OK on my MkLinux box.
Read the official README before installation.

Ascii-Ptex215 and Its Family (Shared)
The latest ascii-ptex and its family.
Binary packages obtained from Uchiyama's FTP site:

ascii-ptex215.970831.bin.tar.gz
VFlib2.22pl9.bin.+zeit_font.tar.gz
which were installed as follows:

# tar -zxpvf <somewhere>/ascii-ptex215.970831.bin.tar.gz -C /
# tar -zxpvf <somewhere>/VFlib2.22pl9.bin.+zeit_font.tar.gz -C /

u-aizu> cd pub/tex/CTAN/fonts/amsfonts/sources
u-aizu> get -R *
u-aizu> bye
# /usr/local/bin/MakeTeXls-R

In order to activate selective printing, I had to rebuild xdvi. Necessary source files include:

ftp://ftp.ipc.chiba-u.ac.jp/pub/pub.yamaga/xdvik-20/xdvik-20a.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.ipc.chiba-u.ac.jp/pub/pub.yamaga/xdvik-20/xdvik20a-j1.1p9.patch.gz

ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/net/WWW/ftp.w3.org/libwww/w3c-libwww-5.1b.tar.gz

Now let's first make w3c-libwww:

$ cd /usr/local/src
$ tar -zxvf <somewhere>/w3c-libwww-5.1b.tar.gz
$ cd w3c-libwww-5.1b
$ ./configure
$ make CPPFLAGS='-DDST_USA=2'
$ su
# make install
then move on to xdvi itself:

$ cd ..
$ tar -zxvf <somewhere>/xdvik-20a.tar.gz
$ cd xdvik-20a/xdvik
$ patch -s -p0 < <somewhere>/xdvik20a-j1.1p9.patch
$ vi config.h
...
#define DVIPS
/* Print-out command templates */
....
/* DVI filter command string */
/* translation file from xdvi paper type into dvi filter paper size option */
#ifdef DVIPS
#define DVIFILTERCMD "dvips -q -f -t %Z"
....
$ cd ..
$ CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/local/src/w3c-libwww-5.1b/Library/src/' sh configure
$ make XCFLAGS='-DBDPI=300 -DSHRINK=\"4\"' x_ext_lib='-lXext'
$ su
# cd xdvik
# make install

The rest is the installation of dviselect which is necessary to allow selective printing:

$ cd /usr/local/src
$ tar -zxvf <somewhere>/SeeTeX-2.18.5.tar.gz
$ cd SeeTeX/
$ patch -s -p1 < <somewhere>/SeeTeX-2.18.5-2.18.5J
$ vi Imake.Config
...
TEX_BINDIR = /usr/local/bin
TEX_MANDIR = /usr/local/man/man1
...
$ xmkmf
$ make Makefiles
$ cd libtex
$ vi error.c
...
#ifndef PPC
extern char *sys_errlist[]; /* table of error number => string */
#endif
...
$ make
$ cd ../Dviselect
$ make
$ su
# make install install.man

Installation of Precompiled Binary Packages
A binary package including above modifications is here. Using this extra binary package, installation is simple:

# tar -zxpvf <somewhere>/VFlib2.22pl9.bin.+zeit_font.tar.gz -C /
# tar -zxpvf <somewhere>/ascii-ptex215.970831.bin.tar.gz -C /
# tar -zxpvf <somewhere>/ascii-ptex215.extra.bin.tar.gz -C /
# chmod a+w /usr/local/share/texmf
# /usr/local/bin/MakeTeXls-R
Make sure hat /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/pk/* and /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/ams are writable to tex users.
In order to use color and epsfig, you may want to do:

# cd /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/packages/graphics
# tex -ini graphics.ins
# /usr/local/bin/MakeTeXls-R
in addition. Note that MakeTeXls-R updates the list of files in the texmf directory and facilitates kpathsea file search mechanism.
CERNLIB-97a
I have got the following message from CERN:

Hello,
Yes we have received your previous messages and would like to thank you for your efforts.
We will try to take your corrections as soon as possible but unfortunately we are at the moment quite busy with our new release; more than this, next week our program librarian will be on holidays.
Best regards
Lysiane Besson/Program Library
Hopefully, MkLinux will become an officially supported platform!

jp-tkmail-4.0beta9-2B
The latest Japanized tkmail built with DR2.1update5 + shared lib.
A message forwarding problem with the last version (2A) has been fixed.
Updated RPM packages are:

jp-tkmail-4.0beta9-2B.src.rpm
jp-tkmail-4.0beta9-2B.ppc.rpm
which were created, following exactly the same step as with the previous version.
To install the rpm package do the following:

# rpm -i <somewhre>/jp-tkmail-4.0beta9-2B.ppc.rpm

You must have the DR2.1update5 shared library support to use this. In addition, you must have jp-tcltk-7.6_4.2-1B installed:

jp-tcltk-7.6_4.2-1B.ppc.rpm

See the installation notes here for more detailed instructions.

Oct 22, 1997

DR2.1 Update 5
The latest update to DR2.1
Since I have just increased my ram to 104MB, this new update is a good news. Now I can see the full ram space from MkLinux. With the enhanced ram and this new update, hotjava works fine on my MkLinux box (8115/110). See the update notes for details.

Oct 15, 1997

MkLinux Port of CERNLIB 97a Shipped to CERN
I have sent the modifications I made to port CERNLIB to MkLinx to the CERN Computing Division, so that hopefully the next release would officially support MkLinux.
G77 Optimization Problem
As announced on Oct.12 below, I have found another optimization problem with g77-0.5.19. The problem lies in the optimization of any routine containing complex statement functions and can be reproduced by the following simple example:

complex x, y, a, b, add
add(a,b) = a + b
x = (1.,0.)
y = (0.,1.)
print *, 'x = ', x
print *, 'y = ', y
print *, 'add(x,y) = ', add(x,y)
print *, 'x + y = ', x + y
end
"add(x,y)" and "x + y" give the same answer with "-O0" but the formar yield an erroneous result with, for example, "-O1". There is no problem with the same kind of code handling real or double precision real numbers.
Lesson
You should avoid the use of complex statement functions. Otherwise, you should compile those routines that use complex statement functions with "-O0".

Oct 12, 1997

CERNLIB 97a Update
I found most of routines handling complex numbers in packlib/kernlib malfunction, which was another optimization problem with g77. Since this is a g77 problem, I would suspect that the same problem could be there in the Linux binary distribution from CERN as well.
I have rebuilt libpacklib.a and libkernlib.a, recompiling those problematic complex routines with FDEBUGFLAGS=-O0. For safety, I have also rebuilt any program in /cern/97a/bin, if it depends on libpacklib.a or libkernlib.a.
Although problems should not be there as long as you are only using paw, it is strongly recommended to update both 97a/bin and 97a/lib.
If you are a cernlib licensee and are interested in using it on a MkLinux box, contact me in person.

A CERNLIB 97a Patch
Make test failed for mclibs/jetset, which was another optimization problem with g77.
I have recompiled jetset with FDEBUGFLAGS=-O0 and replaced libjetset74.a. A patch to the previous 97a/lib is available. If you need one, contact me in person.

Japanization of HotJava 1.1 Beta2

As described in the Sep. 27 notes, HotJava was too slow to be acceptable on my MkLinux box (8115/110), which has only 40MB RAM. Since I got a chance to test HotJava on another MkLinux box (9500/132 with 96MB RAM), I decided to test the Japanization prescription reported by Kaoru Fukui in the MkLinux-JP mailing list (mklinux-jp 5451).

Prerequisites

For my PowerMac 8115/110 (ppc601/nubus), the following combination worked:

Booter: v.1.1.1 (DR2.1)

Mach Kernel: (wip970926)

vmlinux: (wip970926)

Booter: v.1.2.5 (wip970922)

Mach Kernel: (wip970926)

vmlinux: (wip970926)

This new combination also worked for 8115/110. Then you have to install jdk1.1.3 and HotJava 1.1beta2. See Aug. 15 and Sep. 27 below for installation instructions.

At this point you should be able to use HotJava for English pages. In order to make it display Japanese pages, more work is necessary:

Get jdk1.1.1-locale.tar.gz which is available from

http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~nf6h-hsmt/java.html

$ cd /usr/local/src

$ tar -zxvf <somewhere>/jdk1.1.1-locale.tar.gz

$ cd jdk1.1.1-locale

$ vi Makefile

.....

CFLAGS= -O -fpic

JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.1.3

.....

install:

install -m 755 $(SONAME) $(JAVA_HOME)/lib/ppc/green_threads/$(SONAME)

install -m 755 $(WRAPPER) $(JAVA_HOME)/bin/.java_wrapper

# install -m 644 $(FONTPROP) $(JAVA_HOME)/lib/$(FONTPROP)

.....

$ mv java_wrapper java_wrapper.ORIG

$ cp /usr/local/jdk1.1.3/bin/.java_wrapper java_wrapper

$ vi java_wrapper

....

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$JAVA_HOME/lib/${ARCH}/$THREADS_TYPE:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

LD_PRELOAD="$JAVA_HOME/lib/${ARCH}/$THREADS_TYPE/liblocale.so"

export LD_PRELOAD

....

$ make

$ su

# make install

This will install liblocale.so into /usr/local/jdk1.1.3/lib/green_threads/ and .java_wrapper into /usr/local/jdk1.1.3/bin.

Notice that the font.properties.ja was intentionally omitted from the installation, since the fall back Japanese font used when the ones described in the default font.properties.ja are not found is much better than that used when the font.properties.ja coming with the japanization kit was installed.

The essential point of this japanization is to force HotJava to use the setlocale function (which is actually _Xsetlocale) in liblocale.so instead of that in /lib/libc.so.6 which is incapable of handling two-byte character locales: The above LD_PRELOAD setting in .java_wrapper forces java to load setlocale in liblocale.so first thing in the loading.

To use the japanized hotjava

$ export LANG=ja_JP.eucJP

$ export JDK_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.1.3

$ hotjava

Modified jdk1.1.1-locale is available as jdk1.1.3-locale.tar.gz.

CERNLIB 97a
A set of libraries and analysis tools for high energy physics
CERNLIB 9a is now fully ported to MkLinux! The ported packages include

PACKLIB
GRAFLIB
MATHLIB
PAWLIB
GEANT321
MCLIBS
PHTOOLS
which are essentially equivalent to the standard LINUX binary distribution.
You can now use PAW (or DIS45 if you like) on your MkLinux box as well as GEANT321 and MC event generators such as JETSET, PYTHIA, etc. PAW and DIS45 seem functioning well on my MkLinux machine, but the rest (GEANT, MCLIBS, ...) is subject to further tests. I welcome volunteers.
Since PowerMacs are big-endian, the binary data are HP-UX compatible, which is very convenient to HP-UX users.
Note Added
CERNLIB is not a freely distributable software. You need to acquire a lisence to access the software archive at CERN. See this and links from it.
Those who are interested in introducing the CERNLIB to your MkLinux box, contact me in person via e-mail (fujiik@jlcuxf.kek.jp).
The full binary package consists of three parts:

97a-bin.tar.gz ( 5MB) ---> 97a/bin (13MB)
97a-lib.tar.gz (17MB) ---> 97a/lib (51MB)
97a-share.tar.gz (13MB) ---> 97a/share (45MB)
and took me 13 hours to compile on my MkLinux box (8115/110)!
xdvik-18f + xdvik18f-j1.1p14.patch + shared
xdvik18f with the latest JP patch
The previous binary package had not been configured correctly in terms of printer setting. In addition, it was incapable of handling color specials. The new patch p14 now allows the use of "color.sty".

#endif
...
$ cd ..
$ ./configure
$ make
$ cd xdvik

jp-tkmail-4.0beta9-2A
The latest Japanized tkmail built with DR2.1update4 + shared lib.
Original tkmail source code and a patch from ftp://ftp.slac.stanford.edu/software/TkMail/BETA/

tkmail-4.0beta9.tar.gz
tkmail-4.0beta9.BUGFIX

A japanization patch file:

tkmail-4.0beta9p1-jp0.2.patch
was created to allow Japanese text composition with kinput2 and iso-2022-jp mime code handling. This version fixes the misalignment of sender names in the list window, when they contain kanji characters with some single byte characters interleaved.
Also prepared is a MkLinux patch:

tkmail-4.0beta9jp-mklinux.patch
to compile this on a MkLinux box.
The following spec file

jp-tkmail-4.0beta9-2.spec
specifies the package building procedure:

# cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
# ls
tkmail-4.0beta9.BUGFIX
tkmail-4.0beta9.tar.gz
tkmail-4.0beta9jp-mklinux.patch
tkmail-4.0beta9p1-jp0.1.patch
tkmail-bitmaps.tar.gz
# cd ../SPECS
# ls
jp-tkmail-4.0beta9-1.spec
# rpm -ba >& rpm.ba.tkmail.log &
# tail -f rpm.ba.tkmail.log

This creates RPM packages:

# ls ../SRPMS/
jp-tkmail-4.0beta9-2A.src.rpm
# ls ../RPMS/ppc
jp-tkmail-4.0beta9-2A.ppc.rpm

To install the rpm package do the following:

# rpm -i <somewhre>/jp-tkmail-4.0beta9-2A.ppc.rpm

You must have the DR2.1update4 shared library support to use this. In addition, you must have jp-tcltk-7.6_4.2-1B installed:

jp-tcltk-7.6_4.2-1B.ppc.rpm

See the installation notes here for more detailed instructions.
jp-xhfs-2.0-1A
The Japanized xhfs utility with DR2.1update4 + shared lib.
Original source code and patch files extracted from ftp://ftp.cc.miyazaki-u.ac.jp/pub1/Mac-UNIX/MkLinux/MkLinux_DR2.1/Updates/DR2.1update3/SRPMS/hfsutils-2.0-1B.src.rpm

hfsutils-2.0.tar.gz
hfsutils-2.0-shared.patch

A japanization patch file:

hfsutils-2.0-jp.patch
was created to handle Mac file names with kanji characters. Notice that only the tcl part of hfsutils is to be built with this spec file and that it is installed in /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin so as not to overwrite the working hfsutils coming with the original DR2.1update3-shared package.
The following spec file

jp-xhfs-2.0-1.spec
specifies the package building procedure:

# cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
# ls
hfsutils-2.0-jp.patch
hfsutils-2.0-shared.patch
hfsutils-2.0.tar.gz
# cd ../SPECS
# ls
jp-xhfs-2.0-1.spec
# rpm -ba >& rpm.ba.tkmail.log &
# tail -f rpm.ba.tkmail.log

This creates RPM packages:

# ls ../SRPMS/
jp-xhfs-2.0-1A.src.rpm
# ls ../RPMS/ppc
jp-xhfs-2.0-1A.ppc.rpm

To install the rpm package do the following:

# rpm -i <somewhre>/jp-xhfs-2.0-1A.ppc.rpm

You must have the DR2.1update4 shared library support to use this. In addition, you must have jp-tcltk-7.6_4.2-1B installed:

jp-tcltk-7.6_4.2-1B.ppc.rpm

Caution:
As discussed in the mklinux-jp mailing list, the japanization is incomplete: it cannot treat file names containing non-ascii single byte characters.
See the installation notes here for more detailed instructions.

WIP970926

Its README reads:
This kernel/server combo fixes problems with booting on NuBus platforms that were present in the 970922 WIP kernel. Also included are some I/O performance improvements.

Presumably, this should solve the stability problems of JDK1.13 under MkLinux for all CPU's! Though I can't test it, PCI-Mac users should now be able to enjoy Java and HotJava.

Original from: ftp://ftp.mklinux.apple.com/pub/wip/970926/

Mach_Kernel.gz

vmlinux.gz

Notes:
Since I have already installed a version of vmlinux for JDK (see Sep. 18 below), this new update did not bring any noticeable difference to my MkLinux box. If you haven't, however, you will find your JDK work significantly better with this update. You can try, in particular, HotJava with this update and JDK 1.13 as follows.

HotJava 1.1 Beta2

Original from: http://business.tyler.wm.edu/mklinux/

hotjava1.1beta2.tgz

To Install the package, you must have JDK 1.13 preinstalled. For this see Aug. 15 below. Once you have one, then proceed to the following:

$ su

# tar -zxvf <somewhere>/hotjava1.1beta2.tgz -C /usr/local

# exit

In order to start hotjava, first make sure that java related environment variables such as CLASSPATH, JAVA_HOME, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc are unset. Then do

$ export JDK_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.1.3

$ /usr/local/HotJava1.1/bin/hotjava

Notes Added:
Before using this packages, you should read and accept the Sun HotJava License Agreement.

Notice also that this requires a lot of memory (at least 32MB for acceptable performance).
On my MkLinux box, which has only 40MB, the performance is very poor (too slow to be acceptable). Nevertheless, it understands most of HTML tags and, above all, it is java-enabled! I decided to expand the memory of my MkLinux box. Why not?

I haven't succeeded in displaying Japanese pages yet. It should not be too difficult, but it is almost impossible to work on this problem with my present memory resource.

Have Been Porting My Physics Programs to MkLinux
Now basically all of my JLC-physics-related programs are working on MkLinux. These include:
Ghostscript 5.03 + Rebuilt with Offical VFlib2.22 Patch

Original source code from ftp.cs.wisc.edu:~ftp/ghost/aladdin/

ghostscript-5.03.tar.gz
ghostscript-5.03gnu.tar.gz
ghostscript-fonts-other-5.03.tar.gz

$ su
# make install >& install.log &
# tail -f install.log
.....
^C
I have created a precompiled binary package without the GS fonts which you might already have at hand: fonts are identical to those for v4.03.
To install the ready-made binary:

# cd /
# tar -zxvf <somewhere>/gs5.03-vflib-bin.tar.gz

and if you don't have fonts

# cd /usr/local/share/ghostscript
# tar -zxvf <somewhere>/ghostscript-fonts-other-5.03.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf <somewhere>/ghostscript-fonts-std-5.03.tar.gz

Notice that the binary requires the shared version of libpng and zlib in addition to the standard shared library support coming with update4.
You also have to preinstall "VFlib" to display Japanese text. Get Uchiyama's "VFlib" and install it as:

# cd /
# tar -zxvf <somewhere>/VFlib2.22.bin+zeit_font.tar.gz

Original source code FTPed from ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/lang/postscript/eos.hokudai.ac.jp/

psutils-1.12.tar.gz
psutils-patch13

I have prepared an unofficial patch to build psutils on Mklinux:

psutils-1.13-mklinux.patch

without which "make" won't produce workable scripts with perl5.
To build the program:

$ tar -zxvf orig/psutils-1.12.tar.gz
$ mv psutils-1.12 psutils-1.13
$ cd psutils-1.13
$ vi part-1of4
cut everything above #! /bin/sh

$ patch -p1 -s < ../orig/psutils-patch13
$ rm *.orig
$ patch -p1 < ../orig/psutils-1.13-mklinux.patch
$ make
$ su
# make install

To build a precompiled binary package:

# make DESTDIR=.. install
# make veryclean
# cd ..
# tar -zcvf psutils-1.13-bin.tar.gz usr
# tar -zcvf psutils-1.13.tar.gz psutils-1.13

Gv-3.5.8
GUI for ghostscript to navigate through PDF as well as PS files
Original SRPM FTPed from MkArchive

gv-3.5.8-0.src.rpm

and the binary package was rebuilt with DR2.1update4-shared after changing the installation destination to /usr/X11 instead of /usr/local and the default page size from US letter to A4. The forgotten app-default file was also included in the package.
The corresponding source and patch files are

# cd /usr/src/redhat
# ls SOURCES
gv-3.5.8-a4.patch
gv-3.5.8.tgz
gv.gif

and the spec file is

# cd SPECS
# ls
gv-3.5.8-1.ppc.spec

The RPM packages were created as usual:

# rpm -ba gv-3.5.8-1.ppc.spec
# ls RPMS/ppc
gv-3.5.8-1A.ppc.rpm
# ls SRPMS
gv-3.5.8-1A.src.rpm

To install the RPM package:
# rpm -i <somewhere>/gv-3.5.8-1A.ppc.rpm
In order to use "gv", you have to preinstall "ghostscript" whose latest version is gs-5.03-VFlib.

Notice that this installs everything into /usr/local/gim/. In order to make the system recognize the new gimp-related shared libraries, one has to then do:

# cat >> /etc/ld.so.conf

/usr/local/gimp/lib
^D
# /sbin/ldconfig -v

A ready-built binary package is here.
Note
Under 256-color environment, button icons don't show themselves properly. If any other color-intensive application is running, "gimp" even fails to start. Use 32000 colors or more. I could have made the package into an RPM but simply it would take too much time. Besides, it is easy to remove since everything is installed in a single directroy: /usr/local/gim/.

Reconfiguring Our WWW Site
My home directory disk has just moved. Meanwhile some of you might have trouble getting into my home page. Sorry about that. We are expecting some more reconfigurations, so be patient.
Tk4.2jp Problem with Update4
As reported below, tk4.2jp causes segmentation fault on "make test" reaching "option.test". The segmentation fault occurs in ParsePriority(Tcl_Interp *interp, char *string) in generic/tkOption.c when string = "-1" is given.
```
   	....
   	char *end;
	priority = strtoul(string, &end, 0);
	if ((end == string) || (*end != 0) || (priority < 0)
		|| (priority > 100)) {
	....
	
```
By examining the source code in glibc-0.961212-1Q.src.rpm corresponding to the DR2.1update4 shared library, I found the following: The strtoul source code (stdlib/strtol.c) is common to that of strtol and is switchable with a FLAG (UNSIGINED) like:
```
	#if UNSIGNED
	.....
	#   define strtol strtoul
	.....
	#endif
	
```
and it contains the following lines:
```
	....
	  /* check for a sign. */
	  if (*s == L_('-'))
	    {
	#if UNSIGNED
	      __set_errno (EINVAL);
	      return 0;
	#else
	      negative = 1;
	      ++s;
	#endif
	    }
	  else if (*s == L_('+'))
	    {
	.....	
	
```
The "end" pointer is left untouched when the first character is '-'. Apparently, the binary has been working properly in a sense that it was working as coded: when a negative integer is given in "string" it returns 0 with "end" untouched. With the uninitialized "end" pointing to somewhere forbidden, dereferencing "end" triggers segmentation fault. The source code (stdlib/strtol.c) has a time stamp of Dec 19, 1996, meaning that this problem has been there but escaping detection for a long time. I sent a bug report to Apple.
Xxgdb-1.12-1B
GUI for gdb (Gnu DeBugger)
Original SRPM FTPed from ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/linuxppc/linux-2.0.30/redhat/SRPMS/

xxgdb-1.12-1B.src.rpm

and the binary package was rebuilt by

# rpm -rebuilt xxgdb-1.12-1B.src.rpm
# ls /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/ppc/
xxgdb-1.12-1B.ppc.rpm

Note the above FTP site has xxgdb-1.12-1A.ppc.rpm which is newer than 1.12-1B. I compred SRPMs and found no essential differences.
To debug foo.c with xxgdb:

$ gcc -g foo.c
$ xxgdb a.out

Then hit the "run" button. You can mouse-select line and set "break" point and rerun. You can "step"-execute it, etc. You can also mouse-select a variable and "print" its value. If you need to supply arguments to your a.out, you need to type in the bottom input window:

(xxgdb) run arg1 arg2 ...

Well, in this window you can type anything you can in an ordinary gdb session, though in that case I don't know why you need to use xxgdb.
I hope you don't have to use xxgdb too often, but if you have to, try to enjoy debugging with xxgdb!

Ghostscript 5.03 + VFlib 2.22
The latest version of PS interpreter
The ready-made binary package created on August 11 has been read-protected to others. Sorry for inconvenience.
JDK 1.1.3-b1.tar.gz
Java Developer's Kit
In (mklinux-jp 4971), Yukitoshi Fujimura pointed out the availability of a MkLinux port of JDK1.1.3. Good news!
Original FTPed from ftp://143.43.202.20/pub/jdk113/

jdk1.1.3-b1.tar.gz

To install:

$ su
# tar -zxvf jdk1.1.3-b1.tar.gz -C /usr/local
# exit
$ cat >> /.bash_profile
export JDK_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.1.3
export PATH=$JDK_HOME/bin:$PATH
^D

Note:
Javac seems working OK but appletviewer often suffers from segmentation faults. Even if you view the same applet, it sometimes works without segmentation fault. Strange. Nevertheless this is the first time for me to see some java applet using AWT working on a MkLinux box, since Kaffe-0.91 has no compatible AWT yet. It's much better than nothing!
Sep. 27, 1997
This problem was solved by wip970926. See Sep. 27 above.
Amd-920824upl102-6B
Automount daemon
The original version (amd-920824upl102-6A) has been working well for NFS. I found it, however, unable to mount local UFS disks since the file system type is hard-wired to be "minix". I hacked amd/ufs_ops.c to probe the file system type using the corresponding code in the source code of the mount command.
Original SRPM FTPed from ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/RedHat/

SRPMS/amd-920824upl102-6A.src.rpm

from which the original source code:

amd-upl102.tar.gz

patches:

amd-nonis.patch
amd-upl102-glibc.patch
amd-upl102-shared.patch
amd.patch

configuration files, and scripts:

amd.conf
amd.init
amd.sysconf

are extracted.
In addition I have prepared an additional patch:

amd-upl102-ufs_probe.patch

and a modified SPEC file:

amd-920824upl102.spec

in order to make amd automatically probe the file system type when mounting a local UFS device.
Given these properly put into the /usr/src/redhat/ tree:

# cd /usr/src/redhat
# ls SOURCES
amd-nonis.patch
amd-upl102-glibc.patch
amd-upl102-shared.patch
amd-upl102-ufs_probe.patch
amd-upl102.tar.gz
amd.conf
amd.init
amd.patch
amd.sysconf
# ls SPECS
amd-920824upl102.spec

the rest is easy:

# cd SPECS
rpm -ba --test amd-920824upl102.spec
rpm -ba amd-920824upl102.spec

After a while you get:

# ls ../RPMS/ppc
amd-920824upl102-6B.ppc.rpm
# ls ../SRPMS
amd-920824upl102-6B.src.rpm

To install the binary packages do the following:

$ su
# rpm -i amd-920824upl102-6B.ppm.rpm
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/amd.init start
# ls /net/foo
.....

You need to have portmap preinstalled in order to make amd work. If you don't have one, get it from ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/linuxppc/linux-2.0.28/redhat/RPMS/ppc/

portmap-4.0-3B.ppm.rpm

and install it:

# rpm -i portmap-4.0-3B.ppc.rpm

This version (amd-920824upl102-6B) accepts something like

mo -opts:=rw;type:=ufs;dev:=/dev/sdf3

as a mount map. For example, I did

$ su
# cd /etc
# rc.d/init.d/amd.init stop
# mv amd.conf amd.net
# vi amd.mnt
mo -opts:=rw;type:=ufs;dev:=/dev/sdf3
# vi /etc/sysconf/amd
ADIR=/.automount
MOUNTPTS='/net /etc/amd.net /mnt /etc/amd.mnt'
AMDOPTS=
# rc.d/init.d/amd.init start
# exit
$ ls /mnt/mo
.....

The first time, when you access the mo you get a message from UFS telling the guessed file system type, before printing the contents of the mo. Never eject your mo while it is mounted. See the amd manual for details.

man-pages-1.15-1B.ppc.rpm
Manual pages
I had no manual pages for Section 2, which was very inconvenient. I got one from ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/linuxppc/linux-2.0.30/redhat/RPMS/ppc/ and installed it:

# rpm -i --force man-pages-1.15-1B.ppc.rpm

Section 2 seems like for ordinary Linux and I am not sure how well it applies to MkLinux, but it's better than nothing!

nfs-2.2beta26-1A
The latest version of Linux NFS daemon:

Apology
It was found that the previous version (nfs-server-2.2beta16-7B) from ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/RedHat/RPMS/ malfunctions when file size exceeds some limit. I was mostly using the automounter so that it took this long to notice this problem. I am very sorry. The new version nfs-server-2.2beta26-1A below is based on the latest nfs server on Linux and the mklinux patch by Murata and looks like working properly: I could copy 100MB Monte Carlo simulation data from an HP-UX workstation to an MO mounted on my MkLinux box via this new NFS.
Original source code FTPed from ftp://linux.nrao.edu/pub/people/okir/

nfs-server-2.2beta26.tar.gz

Original MkLinux patch by Murata from ftp://ftp.y-min.or.jp/pub/mklinux/

nfs-server-2.2beta26.mklinux.diff

Original script files (exportfs, nfs.init) and spec file are extracted from ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/RedHat/RPMS/nfs-server-2.2beta16-7B.src.rpm and modified for version 2.2beta26:

exportfs
nfs.init
nfs-server-2.2beta26.spec

To Build the RPM packages:

$ ls <somewhere>
exportfs
nfs-server-2.2beta26.spec
nfs-server-2.2beta26.tar.gz
nfs-server-2.2beta26.mklinux.diff
nfs.init
$ su
# cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
# cp <somewhere>/nfs* exportfs .
# cd ../SPECS
# mv ../SOURCES/nfs*.spec .
# rpm -ba --test nfs-server-2.2beta26.spec
# rpm -ba nfs-server-2.2beta26.spec

This creates RPM packages:

# ls ../SRPMS/
nfs-server-2.2beta26-1A.src.rpm
# ls ../RPMS/ppc
nfs-server-2.2beta26-1A.ppc.rpm
nfs-server-clients-2.2beta26-1A.ppc.rpm

To install the binary packages do the following:

$ su
# rpm -qpl nfs-server-2.2beta26-1A.ppc.rpm
# rpm -i --force nfs-server-2.2beta26-1A.ppc.rpm
# rpm -qpl nfs-server-clients-2.2beta26-1A.ppc.rpm
# rpm -i --force nfs-server-clients-2.2beta26-1A.ppc.rpm

Edit /etc/exports to tell to which machines you export your file system:

# vi /etc/exports
/ *.kek.jp(rw,anonuid=65535)

In this example, you export everything under the root directory to any host in the "kek.jp" domain with read/write permission. Dangerous huh? See the manpage for exports for detail.
To start NFS, reboot or

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start

Then you can do something like:

$ rlogin foo.kek.jp
$ ls /net/bar

assuming your machine is "bar" and "foo" is running an automounter.

MO as a Storage Device for Monte Carlo Data
Since the available disk space is now very limited, I decided to use a 230 MB MO to store Monte Carlo data. I could generate and store about 8k t-tbar events at 340 GeV in a single 230 MB MO, which is not bad. See this for the usage of MO on MkLinux.

Looks like the vflib patch for v5.0 is not completely compatible with v5.02 (it's a trivial problem though). Anyway, I have created a precompiled binary package without the GS fonts which you might already have at hand: fonts are identical to those for v4.03.
To install the ready-made binary:

# cd /
# tar -zxvf <somewhere>/gs5.02-vflib-bin.tar.gz

and if you don't have fonts

# cd /usr/local/share/ghostscript
# tar -zxvf <somewhere>/ghostscript-fonts-other-5.02.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf <somewhere>/ghostscript-fonts-std-5.02.tar.gz

Notice that the binary requires the shared version of libpng and zlib in addition to the standard shared library support coming with update4.
You also have to preinstall "VFlib" to display Japanese text. Get Uchiyama's "VFlib" and install it as:

# cd /
# tar -zxvf <somewhere>/VFlib2.22.bin+zeit_font.tar.gz

Tk4.2jp Problem
As reported below, tk4.2jp causes segmentation fault on "make test" reaching "option.test". The segmentation fault occurs in ParsePriority(Tcl_Interp *interp, char *string) in generic/tkOption.c when string = "-1" is given.

....
char *end;
priority = strtoul(string, &end, 0);
if ((end == string) || (*end != 0) || (priority < 0)
|| (priority > 100)) {
....

It looks like when string="-1" is fed into "strtoul", which presumably converts a string to an unsigned long int, "strtoul" returns 0 with "end" pointing to somewhere forbidden: it looks like strtoul returns 0 and leaves end untouched whenever a negative integer is given in string. No manual page is available for "strtoul" on my MkLinux box unfortunately and I am not sure this is a designed behavior or not. The problem can be fixed though by replacing "strtoul" by "strtol". Anyway I guess nobody is going to invoke the "option" Tcl command with a negative priority, which is invalid after all, thus this problem is virtually nonexistent. Notice that this problem could have been there from the beginning but left unnoticed just because of "end" pointing to somewhere valid.

Original tiff source code from ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/tiff/

tiff-v3.4beta036.tar.gz

A patch file:

tiff-v3.4beta036-mklinux.patch

created to compile this on a MkLinux box.
Also prepared is a spec file to create RPM packages:

tiff-3.4b036.spec

which specifies the package building procedure.

# cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
# ls
tiff-v3.4beta036-mklinux.patch

xpaint-2.4.9-1A.ppc.rpm

To install the binary package do the following:

# rpm -i --force <somewhre>/xpaint-2.4.9-1A.ppc.rpm

You must have the DR2.1update4 shared library support to use this. In addition, the following libraries are required:

tiff-3.4b036-1A.ppc.rpm

the one just created above, and others from Yasutome's FTP site:

jpeg-6a-shared.bin.tar.gz
libpng-0.89c-shared.bin.tar.gz
zlib-1.0.2-shared.bin.tar.gz

There is one more required:

Xaw3d-1.3-bin.tar.gz

to make Xpaint look nicer.
Pstoedit v2.60 Rebuilt with Shared Libs.
Pstoedit allows one to traslate a PS file to various editable formats including, tgif, xfig, gnuplot, etc.
Built just like before but this time without "-static": without "-static" the binary didn't work with update2 or 3. Some improvements with update4!
To install, do the following

$ su
# cd /
# tar -zxvf $LTsomewhere>/pstoedit.2.60-bin.tar.gz

I'm sorry, I didn't make it into an RPM.

Update 4
I have fully installed DR2.1update4 that now officially supports a shared version of X11R6.3. I have not yet tested the update carefully, but it seems like working properly.
See this for details.
gcc-2.7.2.fu.1-1B
Gcc Suite for C, C++, Objective C, and FORTRAN(+LibU77) Rebuilt with DR2.1update4
Original gcc source codes extracted from gcc-2.7.2.1-2L.src.rpm coming with the DR2.1update4 shared library support:

gcc-2.7.2.tar.gz

This is actually identical to the previous one.
Original patch files also extracted from the same src.rpm:

gcc-2.7.2-linux.diff.gz
gcc-2.7.2-make.patch
gcc-2.7.2-ppc.patch
gcc-2.7.2-ppc_shared_libraries.patch
gcc-2.7.2-ppc_varargs.patch
gcc-2.7.2.objc.960906.diff

Among these patch files, the only one that is different from the one in the DR2.1update3 version (gcc-2.7.2-2J.src.rpm) is gcc-2.7.2-ppc_shared_libraries.patch. There is, however, significant difference in the SRPM file: version 2L has "ada" in it, thought this fact has not been reflected to the RPM counterpart: DR2.1update4 does not support adda. I have thus decided not to include ada in mine, either.

Caution: This overwrites your existing gcc triplet (C, C++, and Objective C) and might destroy your compiling environment. As always install them at your own risk. Read this before installation.
jp-tcltk-7.6_4.2-1B
Japanized Tcl/Tk v-7.6_4.2 Rebuilt with Update4
Using the source RPM file created before (see here for details), I have rebuilt the RPM files as follows:

# rpm -i jp-tcltk-7.6_4.2-1A.src.rpm
# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
# vi jp-tcltk-7.6-4.2.spec
...
Release: 1B
...
# rpm -ba jp-tcltk-7.6-4.2.spec

This creates RPM packages:

# ls ../SRPMS/
jp-tcltk-7.6_4.2-1B.src.rpm
# ls ../RPMS/ppc
jp-tcltk-7.6_4.2-1B.ppc.rpm

To install the binary package do the following:

# rpm -i --force <somewhre>/jp-tcltk-7.6_4.2-1B.ppc.rpm

Note
It has been reported that the DR2.1update3 shared library support leads "make test" in tcl7.6jp to segmentation fault. I tested this with update4 and found that it didn't. That's why I decided to rebuilt the binary package, though the problem is likely to be outside the package.
After a while, I did "make test" for tk4.2jp and found it cause segmentation fault at "option.test". Gdb says it's in "ParsePriority()". Oh, well. I leave this problem to somebody else.

LibU77
The g77 package I created yesterday has libU77 builtin. If you have already installed the one without the libU77 support, you may just want to install the U77 liabrary instead of replacing the whole package. Of course, the price you have to pay in this case is that you have to put "-lU77" every time you link some program using U77 features. Those who are not familiar with what libU77 does, see the original README file.
To install:

$ su
# cd /usr/lib
# gunzip /libU77.so.gz
# chmod a+rx libU77.so
# /sbin/ldconfig -v

Enjoy.

Fortran Program Porting Issues
Hi, I'm back. Here is the summary that I promised, though it's still not complete.
gcc-2.7.2.fu.1-1A
Gcc Suite for C, C++, Objective C, and FORTRAN Rebuilt with LibU77 Enhancement
Hiroshi Futami provided very useful information (mklinux-jp 4802) on libU77. I have thus combined this into the g77 package as follows:
Original gcc source codes extracted from gcc-2.7.2.1-2J.src.rpm coming with the DR2.1update3 shared library support:

gcc-2.7.2.tar.gz

Original patch files also extracted from the same src.rpm:

gcc-2.7.2-linux.diff.gz
gcc-2.7.2-make.patch
gcc-2.7.2-ppc.patch
gcc-2.7.2-ppc_shared_libraries.patch
gcc-2.7.2-ppc_varargs.patch
gcc-2.7.2.objc.960906.diff

Original g77 source codes FTPed from ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/prep/ and original libU77 source codes from ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/lang/fortran/libU77/

g77-0.5.19.tar.gz
g77-0.5.19-libu77-12.tar.gz

G77 patch files created by following the "f2c" examples:

g77-0.5.19-glibc.patch
g77-0.5.19-ppc.patch
g77-0.5.19-ppc_shared.patch

To install them do the following:

# rpm -i --force <somewhre>/gcc*-2.7.2.fu.1-1A.ppc.rpm

Caution: This overwrites your existing gcc triplet (C, C++, and Objective C) and might destroy your compiling environment. As always install them at your own risk. Read this before installation.

Porting Issues
Have been trying to port Monte Carlo event generators, the JLC detector simulator, and others to my MkLinux box. I am gonna summarize know-hows to port FORTRAN programs before I forget them. These include:
- Useful FFLAGS
- Necessary code modifications due to g77's insufficient implementation of FORTRAN77.
- Some missing intrinsic functions.
I am also going to compare the performance of g77 on my MkLinux box with that of f77 on a HP-UX WS(C-100).

Readline-2.0
A command line editing and history recall library
Original FTPed from ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/linuxppc/linux-2.0.28/redhat/RPMS/ppc

readline-2.0-10B.ppc.rpm

readline-devel-2.0-10B.ppc.rpm.

To install the binary packages do the following:

$ su
# rpm -qpl readline*
# rpm -i --force readline*

The old /usr/lib/libreadline.a, which presumably came with DR2.1, referrs to the function __setjmp which is nonexistent now. Check /usr/include/setjmp.h and /lib/libc-1.99.so, this is actually true in your case, too.
In order to build Dis45, I had to replace the old one with this, which is of shared now.
Dis45-1.36
Histogram and Plot Display using HIGZ.
Some preferres Dis45 to Paw. Well, it's a matter of taste.
Again this is using CERNLIB and can not be freely distributed. Sorry.
Anyway and finally, I can really start doing real physics on my MkLinux box!

July 20, 1997

CERNLIB 97a
Still fighting CERNLIB! So far, I have gone through PACKLIB, GRAFLIB, MATHLIB, and PAWLIB, which means PAW should work in principle. Well, it's working but with some problems, yet: labels and tick marks don't show up properly. Other functions seem working: I can plot hbook data, display them as a histogram or a curve in the plot window, and even fit them to a smooth curve.
The problem is likely to be coming from some loose ends (left-over byte-swapping codes or mistreatment of character data). You know this is always a pain in the neck. It's gonna take sometime to fix, I guess.

20:00
Located the problem:

/cern/97a/src/graflib/higz/ig/igaxis.F

has been behaving very strangely: I could never change the value of some variable (XTICK). It didn't make sense at all.
.....
Tried everything I could think of.
.....

21:45
I finally decided to suspect g77 and recompiled "igaxis.F" without the "-O" option. Rebuilding libraies, and then remade "paw". Miraculously, it worked perfectly.
Lesson
The problematic variable (XTICK) is set deep inside some loop in multiply nested ifs. It is probably safer to switch off optimization, if a program has deeply nested ifs or loops.

Note Added
CERNLIB is not a freely distributable software. You need to acquire a lisence to access the software archive at CERN. See this and links from it.
Elisau10
10x8 Dot Japanese Font for X
Elisau10 has been developed by Dai Iijima (BXC01416@niftyserve.or.jp) and copyrighted by ELISA FONT PJ.
Original FTPed from: ftp://ftp.vector.co.jp/common/data/writing/font/elisa/

To install the 10x8-point Japanese font (elisau10) for X, follow the instruction given in elisau10.doc.

$ tar -zxvf orig/elisau10.tgz
$ cp orig/cl$5x8.bdf .

# cat fonts.alias >> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias
# exit
$ xset fp rehash

It's pretty much amazing that this small font can be still quite legible!

CERNLIB 97a
Fighting CERNLIB! It's going to take me sometime. I have to do a lot of code modifications, mainly inserting a new flag to prevent the CERNLIB_LINUX flag from swapping bytes......

Original FTPed from ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/RedHat/RPMS/

nfs-server-2.2beta16-7B.ppc.rpm

nfs-server-clients-2.2beta16-7B.ppc.rpm.

To install the binary packages do the following:

$ su
# rpm -qpl nfs-server-2.2beta16-7B.ppc.rpm
# rpm -i --force nfs-server-2.2beta16-7B.ppc.rpm
# rpm -qpl nfs-server-clients-2.2beta16-7B.ppc.rpm
# rpm -i --force nfs-server-clients-2.2beta16-7B.ppc.rpm

Edit /etc/exports to tell to which machines you export your file system:

# vi /etc/exports
/ *.kek.jp(rw,anonuid=65535)

In this example, you export everything under the root directory to any host in the "kek.jp" domain with read/write permission. Dangerous huh? See the manpage for exports for detail.
To start NFS, reboot or

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start

Then you can do something like:

$ rlogin foo.kek.jp
$ ls /net/bar

assuming your machine is "bar" and "foo" is running an automounter.
lpr-0.19-1B.ppc.rpm

# rpm -qpl lpr-0.19-1B.ppc.rpm
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd.init stop
# rpm -i --force lpr-0.19-1B.ppc.rpm

Edit /etc/printcap to match your site:

# vi /etc/printcap
qms3g414:\
:lp=:rp=lp:rm=qms3g414:sd=/var/spool/lpd/qms3g414:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
# mkdir -p /var/spool/lpd/qms3g414

To start lpd, reboot or

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd.init start

Try something like:

$ a2ps foo.txt | psnup -2 | lpr
$ lpq

to see if it actually works. On my MkLinux box (8115/110) it worked.

and from ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/linuxppc/linux-2.0.28/redhat/RPMS/ppc/

portmap-4.0-3B.ppm.rpm

To install the binary packages do the following:

$ su
# rpm -i --force portmap-4.0-3B.ppc.rpm
# rpm -qpl amd-920824upl102-6A.ppm.rpm
# rpm -i --force amd-920824upl102-6A.ppm.rpm
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/amd.init start
# ls /net/foo
---> didn't work, though some dirs had been exported from foo.

Decided to build it from src:

# rpm -i --force amd-920824upl102-6A.src.rpm
# cp /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/* .
# tar -zxvf amd-upl102.tar.gz
# cd amd-upl102
# patch -p1 <../amd-nonis.patch
# patch -p1 <../amd-upl102-glibc.patch
# patch -p1 <../amd-upl102-shared.patch
# patch -p4 <../amd.patch
# make
# su
# make install

This just replaces /usr/sbin/amd, amq, fsinfo, hlfsd, mk-amd-map, and wire-test.

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/amd.init start
# ls /net/foo
---> great! It works.
A ready-made binary package is here.
It's better to prepare an rpm, though:

# rpm --rebuild amd-920824upl102-6A.src.rpm

The rebuilt rpm package is here.

The above configuration installs Wnn4.2 into a single directory, which requires the following to use it with kinput2, unless your kinput2 has been configured accordingly:

$ cd
$ vi .bash_profile
...
export WNNENVRC=/usr/local/wnn/lib/wnn/ja_JP/wnnenvrc

Or, if you are a tcsh user:

% cd
% vi .cshrc
...
setenv WNNENVRC /usr/local/wnn/lib/wnn/ja_JP/wnnenvrc

Now you can use Wnn4.2 by

$ kill <PID of "kinput2 -canna -kinput">
$ kinput2 -wnn -kinput

Notes

*1) Somehow crypt is not in libc after moving to shared lib.
*2) sharedlib does not work correctly.
---> jserver dies immediately after "kinput2 -wnn -kinput".
*3) Incompatible type error occured.
*4) term.h is not in the standard place.
