I'm getting desperate.
I'm tryng to compile some driver I need, and all I can get is "cc command not found", and "kernel-headers >=2.1.1 needed by gcc-headers" when I try to install gcc -headers.
I'm getting crazy.
Anyboy can guide me step-by-step to configure the bloody links to kernel headers and so on?
And provide me all the tips and clue to choose whatever rpm i need?
Please nothing as generic as "ln -s /usr/src/KERNELVERSION/etc.." I would like an *exact* command, assuming my kernel is last revision available from CTU (1781 or similar, replacing 1772).
I tried everything similar I found in all available FC3 forums, and nothing worked.
After several hours spent to try, I like a 5 secs job to get everything working.
Please!

There are no build tools included on the cd. Thats how I was able to pack so much into it.
If you need to build you will need to install the tools via YUM or from the Fedora CD set.
Some of the basics are outlined in this thread
here.
The proper command would be something like:
yum --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=updates-released groupinstall development-tools

Hello,
I seem to have broken my zm installation. It was working well until I changed the root password for webmin. Now I see the following in /var/log/messages:
Code: Select all
Feb 26 12:46:18 localhost webmin(pam_unix)[3134]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= user=root
Feb 26 12:46:18 localhost fstab-sync[3220]: added mount point /media/cdrecorder for /dev/hdc
Feb 26 12:46:20 localhost rc: Starting webmin: succeeded
Feb 26 12:46:21 localhost zm: ERROR 1016 at line 1: Can't open file: 'Config.MYD'. (errno: 145)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I downloaded the ZoneMinder FC3 Distro v1.21.3 ISO and installed with no problems. I then did a yum update and it took it to version 1.21.4. If I do a yum update again it says there are no more updates.
Do I have to manually upgrade it to 1.22.0?
Thanks
Grant

Version 1.22.0 has not been released as an rpm because it had some things to work out.
Thus, I have not put it in the repo.
Phil will be releasing 1.22.1 soon with a lot of patchs and I have one correction to make to the current build (missing space in the start script under the start function). Once 1.22.1 is out and I complete moving, I'll get a new package up for test. After any other kinks are worked out, then I will place the package in the repo.
Some people have yum set to run nightly and update automaticaly and I don't want to give them a bad package, hence it not be avalable
Regards,
Corey

This may be a too simple newbie question, so my apologies in advance.....
How can I set up Fedora so that X Windows dosen't come up automatically? I used to have a Redhat 9 installation that would come up in command line untill you typed "start x". Then the login GUI would come up. This was great for a slow machine, because it saved resources, especially if it ran headless in corner somewhere.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Change your run level to :3: This can be done in the /etc/inittab file. Open file and scroll done to "id:5:initdefault:" and change to :3: Reboot or Ctrl+Alt+F1 login as root and I think the command is telinit 3

Hi
I have made an installaton, where I under "Options - Paths"
changed ZM_DIR_EVENTS to /zm/events
and ZM_DIR_IMAGES to /zm/images
Events are placed in these directories, but
playing old events fails.
Messages indicates the problem:
ERR [Can't open /usr/lib/zm/html//zm/events/2/211/0113-capture.jpg: No such file or directory]
Can i fix this?
Should I make a link?
Hope someone tried the same.

There are two places you have to configure to move the events directory.
1) In the zm options (which you have done)
2) In the /etc/httpd/conf.d/zm.conf (You haven't done)
The second step gives the directory structure for the web server.
Regards,
Corey

Thanks for the input.
I tried (after reading the help instructions) the following:
stop ZM
options reset to defaults (events and images)
then deleting symbolic links in /usr/lib/zm/html
(for events and images - pointing at /var/lib/zm/)
making new links with:
ln -s /zm/events
ln -s /zm/images
restart ZM
Seems to be working, but I will test some more to be sure.
Thanks again, Corey
