Fedora Core 4 - The Perfect Setup

[betablue]

OK,

when I exit perl shell and come back I run:

install Net:NS

it responds with:

(...)
The libraries needed to support IPv6 transport have not been found.
You will need recent versions of the IO::Socket::INET6 and Socket6
libraries (from CPAN).

Testing if you have a C compiler and the needed header files....
cc -c -o compile.o compile.c
You have a working compiler.

You appear to be directly connected to the Internet. I have some tests
that try to query live nameservers.

Do you want to enable these tests? [y]

when I answer "n[Enter]"

it returns with:

# Continuing to use the XS based dn_expand()
t/11-escapedchars..........ok 141/141# Looks like you failed 2 tests of 141.
t/11-escapedchars..........dubious

How do I install The libraries needed to support IPv6 transport in order to defeat this error?

You can try

install IO::Socket::INET6

on the Perl shell. But I've never seen this error before...

hello, i am having difficulties RPM-ing apt, when i do the following

rpm -ivh http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/fedora/...6.fc4.i386.rpm

i get a

error: skipping http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/fedora/...6.fc4.i386.rpm - transfer failed - Unknown or unexpected error
Warning: _url_cache[0] 0x98badb8 nrefs(10217767) !=1 ( )

any idea how to fix this?

I've followed the intsructions up to this point. When I run the line 'quotacheck -avugm' I get the error : "Can't find filesystems to check or filesystems not mounted with quota option." My friend who is logged in remotely via ssh gets the error: "bash: quotacheck: command not found." On the actuall machine, the command "whereis quotacheck" returns '/sbin/quotacheck /usr/share/man/man8/quotacheck.8.gz' (I had to retype this across machines so their could be a possible typo.) Any guesses as to what is wrong? I'm fairly new to linux but my friend has a lot of experience with it. Otherwise: great article, thanks for providing it!

Pardon me. Said friend says that the command not found error was a path issue and has been resolved. Also of note: the comands were all run as root, if that helps.

Thanks,

Maybe a firewall issue...
You could download http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/fedora/...6.fc4.i386.rpm to your Windows workstation, then use WinSCP ( http://winscp.net/eng/index.php ) to transfer the file to your Linux system and then install it like this:

rpm -ivh /path/to/apt-0.5.15cnc7-6.fc4.i386.rpm

What does /etc/fstab look like?

This thread is getting confusing because everyone's posting completely different problems in here. That's why I'm closing it now.

To everyone involved in this thread and whose problems have not been solved yet: please open a new thread.
