unix64-bit MySQL and DBD::mysql WoesSubmitted by phil on Sun, 2007-06-03 18:05. coding | compiling | mysql | unixI was attempting to install DBD::mysql today, and I ran into a fiendishly difficult problem. I've installed the mysql drivers for Perl countless times, but this time for some reason, I was getting the following error:
Fun with Xargs on Mac OS XSubmitted by phil on Wed, 2007-05-16 15:56. bash | coding | unixThis is something I wrote over at DocForge, but I'm keeping it here for posterity. You never know what those crazy wiki-ers might do with it over there ;-) I've got a directory full of eBooks in the godawful Microsoft .lit format. I had marked with the Finder labels the ones I've already read, and wanted to convert all the ones I hadn't read yet into a readable format. After using the Spotlight UNIX tools and applying liberal amounts of command-line trickery, the end result was a rather beautiful pipeline, if I do say so myself. Notes on Mod_Python and Apache 2.2 on Mac OS XSubmitted by phil on Tue, 2007-05-01 19:51. apache | coding | compiling | unixI'm hoping to get away from PHP in favor of mod_python, but the first thing I needed to do was get mod_python successfully working on Mac OS X. I tried once before, using the built-in Apache and Python binaries that ship with Mac OS X. At the time (I think this was still 10.4, but it could have been 10.3), the built-in Python wasn't multithreaded (or something like that) and the mod_python developers were starting to move away from Apache 1.3 altogether. I had success recently compiling mod_python on Mac OS X Server, against the distributed (but inactive) Apache 2 installation in /opt. However, I found OS X Server to be basically garbage, so I did a fresh install of the client version of Mac OS X, and set about getting Apache 2 to compile, and then mod_python. It was not easy. |
