That was the error message displaced when I tried installing two Sun packages as requested by a user, SUNWeu8os and SUNWeulof.

Packages can be found in tge Solaris 10 disk release 5/08. When i tried installing the package I got the error above.

There are two ways you can get that binary and one of them is by using the installation disk of Solaris 10 5/08.

Another one is by installing patch 137321-01 for sparc and 137322-01 for x86

Once a survey has been created, data can be inserted into the survey either by a “pretty” public screen which presents each question one at a time, or by a quick and nasty data entry screen. It includes the capacity to generate individualized “tokens”, so that invitation can be issued to participants. It also has the capacity to set conditions on whether questions will display (branching), numerous question types, and a basic statistics function. Changes: A Malay translation was added, several minor bugs were fixed, and translations were updated.

First, create a pool using ‘zpool‘. Then use ‘zfs‘ to make the filesystems.

Creating Pool with zpool

Create a pool called pool1. The -m is optional. If given, it specifies a mount point for zfs filesystems created from the specified pool. The mount point should be empty or nonexistant. If the -m argument is omitted, mount point is “/”.


# zpool create -m /export/data01 ALB mirror c2t0d0 c4t0d0
# zpool status
pool: pool1
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:

NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
pool1 ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror ONLINE 0 0 0
c2t0d0 ONLINE 0 0 0

Creating ZFS filesystem from Pool

Last time we did the GlassFish webstack installation (just to get RoR working) because the Ruby in Coolstack was an old version Ruby 1.8.6 something.

But as far as Ruby on Rails installation is concern, the Optimized Open Source Software Stack (Cool Stack) is working properly.. As well as the Glassfish installation.. The problem we’re getting is for some Gems that we’re trying to install (oracle gems and hobo and others)…

For this one, we’re trying to install the Oracle gem thing.. and it requires to compile something that needs CC.. we ended up installing Sun Studio 12.. (but I still believe gcc is a perfect alternative for cc).

Anyway, searching for “ld.so.1: cc: fatal: libpicl.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory” will give you unrelated websites (well, until this one gets indexed that is)..

As of this writing it only has 4 results:

What I did is i downloaded a Sun patch that contains the file and placed in my server same location:

Take this patch for example:

http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-108528-29-1

libpicl.so.1 installs in /usr/lib/abi/abi_libpicl.so.1 , /usr/lib/abi/sparcv9/abi_libpicl.so.1, /usr/lib/libpicl.so.1

and others

By default though, the iphone 3G has limitations being locked to the local provider of course. Because of that you may feel that there is a certain limitation to what the iphone 3G can do… aside from the obvious that you can’t use a different telco sim card.

So if you don’t feel like you’re getting all you can from the iPhone App Store and other perks of the iPhone and iPod touch 2.0 software, you may want to ‘open-line’ the phone yourself.

The ‘process’ for unlocking the iphone is called ‘Jailbreaking’. Though ‘jailbreak’ is for Mac users, most of us (well, I assume) are PC and Windows users. There is an equivalent application for jailbreakinig an Iphone on a Windows box.. That is WINPWN.

Here’s how to unlock / jailbreak your iphone/itouch:

What You’ll need:

Before you get started, make sure you have the following:

• An iPhone or iPod touch running either the 2.0 software
• Winpwn dowload and installed on your computer
• A Windows machine. If you want to jailbreak on a Mac, check out how to jailbreak your iPhone 2.0 with the PwnageTool.

You’ll also need the iPhone or iPod touch 2.0 software update files. You can find the 3G version of iPhone 2.0 here, or grab the 2G software update here .

Lifehacker has a post about a step-by-step procedure on at how to jailbreak your iPhone or iPod touch using Winpwn.  Check that out for complete details.

When we say ‘image editor‘ on the open-source world, we instantly think of GIMP, GNU Image Manipulation Program, right? Of course.

But do you know that aside from GIMP, there is also another application, which is part of the KDE Office suite that is also perfect for bitmap image manipulation? It is also convenient for webmasters for editing photos for their web server shared website.

The application is called KRITA.

Krita is the bitmap graphics editor software included with the KDE based KOffice suite. Designed to be both a painting application and a photo editor, Krita is free software and distributed under GNU General Public License. It was released for the first time as a part of KOffice version 1.4.0, on June 21, 2005. Before any public release, it was called KImageShop and then later Krayon, but legal matters motivated a change from these names.

The differences start with the layout of the various user interface components. Instead of having them organized as a set of separate windows, Krita uses a single-pane integrated view, where all the UI functionality is included in the main window. However, the panels and tools can be freely moved around in the window and are dockable to provide a clean appearance

• Blog Topic - Decide what you want to blog about. Problogger call it ‘niche’, but in simple terms it’s just the blog topic. So first, what is that particular thing that interests you. Blog doesn’t not necessarily mean a personal journal, that’s one big misconception about blogs.
• Web hosting or Free hosting – A big decision when starting a blog. You have an option of starting one in a free service blog host like Wordpress or Blogger or you can purchase your own web hosting plan. Some advantage of having your own virtual hosting server is that you have more control on your files/themes and other that is limited in wordpress.com/blogger. There are also some extra web hosting services that you may find very useful.
• Get a Domain Name – A domain name is simply the name for your blog. Whether you are hosted on a free blogging platform or you purchase a web host, you must have a unique domain name for your blog. To be unique in the blog world, you need to choose and register a domain name for your blog.
• Post Articles, Story/Content – This is the heart of your blog. You need to have good quality content for your blog. After all the domain name registration and blog platform and other preparatory stuff been taken care of, it’s time to put articles in it.

That’s basically it. If you maintain a schedule of blog post for a month, you are a certified blogger.
