I get the following error when I try to install firefox:

Code:
In file included from local_inotify_syscalls.h:5,
                 from inotify-kernel.c:29:
/usr/include/sys/syscall.h:32:27: bits/syscall.h: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [inotify-kernel.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gamin-0.1.8/server'
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gamin-0.1.8/server'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gamin-0.1.8'
make: *** [all] Error 2
Creating /var/log/lunar/compile/gamin-0.1.8.bz2
! Problem detected during BUILD


I installed seamonkey without a problem, but firefox depends on gamin and I'm stuck. What have I done wrong/

Many thanks to Sofar for his help with X and tww.

I installed the 1.6.2 alpha ISO recently, and have installed firefox successfully.

I ran locate syscall.h which returns /usr/include/bits/syscall.h as well as various other syscall.h files, mostly under the kernel source trees.

lvu from /usr/include/bits/syscall.h shows this file to come from the glibc module, so you could just try to run lin glibc to ensure this file is installed correctly. You might even need lin -cr glibc to force it to rebuild.

I'm a little confused though, because if you followed the instructions in man lfirsttime you should have re-installed glibc as part of the recommended installation process anyway, so this file should have been installed already. Confused

Did you run lin -cr gcc glibc gcc bash coreutils tar wget as recommended by man lfirsttime ?

arghhh! As you so politely pointed out, I did not do that. I am currently re-installing everything using the 1.6.2 alpha ISO and running:

Code:
lin -cr gcc glibc gcc bash coreutils tar wget


After that completes, do I run lunar update, and rm hostname, netmount, mount, network and re-install lunar-init?

Thanks for your help.

Just to the on the safe side, you should really have a look at the 1.6.2-i686 alpha ISO announcement thread and followups on the mailing list.

You current question about the new lunar-init module was discussed in the Attention! Huge update thread so you should check that and followups too.

But to answer your question, after you've updated the moonbase, and ensured that the base tools are up to date using the lin line already discussed, one of the first things that will be re-installed will be lunar-init. It will fail to install if you have old or customised versions of the four scripts in /etc/init.d. You are updating after a fresh install, so you can safely delete these scripts and try again.

OK, did all of the above and firefox is working.

On another subject, for some reason, on my second box, I can't get dhcp to work, but static works fine. I might play with that a bit more,

Thanks for your help.

Hmm. I too have had problems since the lunar-init update, but then I have a wacky wifi setup, and it's quite likely that I haven't got it configured correctly. You are the only other person I know who has had any difficulty.
Could you start a new topic on what is wrong, or how you solved it? Maybe someone helping to solve your problem will help me solve mine Smile
