Sorry to dredge up an ancient post.
I have an Indy running Irix 6.5 which I am also planning on using as headless mpd box (using digital audio out to my amp).

I've installed the neko_mpd-0.1.2.tardist and (as far as I can tell) all dependencies but there seems to be a problem with the linked libraries:

Code: Select all

indy 20# mpd
21163:mpd: rld: Fatal Error: Cannot Successfully map soname 'libFLAC.so.5' version 'sgi5.2' under any of the filenames /usr/nekoware/lib/libFLAC.so.5:/usr/lib32/libFLAC.so.5:/usr/lib32/internal/libFLAC.so.5:/lib32/libFLAC.so.5:/opt/lib32/libFLAC.so.5:/usr/nekoware/lib

I've turned up this thread http://forums.nekochan.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=16722067&p=7310365&hilit=libFLAC.so.5#p7310365 which mentions the problem but I can't see a solution.

I'm very new to Irix and any pointers would be most appreciated!

(I have considered resorting to a Debian install just to simplify matters, but would prefer to stick with Irix if I can).

Thanks for the suggestions.

I have libFLAC.so.9 in /usr/nekoware/lib.

It seems that libFLAC.so.5 is expected.

ldd gives this:

Quick and dirty ? make a link, rename it with the wrong number and try it.


Hmm. Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately no cigar - I still get the same output.

what an adventure!

I grabbed mpd-0.13.0 to give this a go. I needed to install neko_pkgconfig in order to get the configure script to run but am compiling now.

Will post back once I've had a poke around.

A long shot, I know, but ...

Anyone happen to have an NEC Versa V/50 laptop they wouldn't mind parting with?

(Actually, I just need an LCD panel to replace the cracked screen on my machine)

Wrote on the subject of Serial console on Indy - gotcha at June 15, 2010, 3:43 a.m...
Hope this might save someone else some troubleshooting time ...

After running one of my Indys headless for a goodly while, I went and futzed a kernel upgrade (the box is currently running Debian) which left me with a nonbootiing Indy.

Because my only 13w3 monitor is in another building I thought I'd just have a look over a serial connection ... but for some reason I was seeing nothing on either serial port.
I had thought that even with console set to g the box would default to console on serial 1 on boot with no keyboard, but this didn't seem to work.

After eventually giving up and hauling in the monitor and keyboard, I did setenv -p d1 and now all is well.
Might this have something to do with setting nogfxkbd?

Yes, nogfxkbd is set.

So it seems this is the expected behaviour?

I would have thought that logically a system which has nogfxkbd set shoul default to console on serial as the administrator clearly intends to remotely administer the system. Must just be one of those quirks we all love, I suppose!

nogfxkbd means ``don't mind if no keyboard is plugged, and use the video console anyway'',


Ah - I guess I didn't understand that the second part applied. I assumed the "nogfx" part meant the same as the "[no]kbd"!

Thanks Recondas. Interestingly, that link provides the following description of "nogfxkbd":
Quote:
Specifies that the keyboard is not required to be connected if set to 1.

No mention (that I could see) of console being sent to video when this variable is set.

And the description of the "console" variable is as follows:
Quote:
Specifies which console to use. The following values are accepted:
* G: Specifies a graphics console with the SGI logo in the upper left corner.
* g: Specifies a graphics console without the SGI logo.
* d: Specifies the terminal is not available.


Note "d: Specifies the terminal is not available". Shouldn't that say something like "Specifies a serial console"?

I'm kicking myself ... Caught napping over the weekend and missed out on a Qube 3 on eBay (au) for $80!

I've been after one (actually a 2, in keeping with MIPS theme here) for a while but they seldom show up in oz and shipping from US is a killer.

Sorry for whinging - just wanted to vent.

No chance anyone here knows of a non-eBay source of these little machines?

Thanks, I know (this was what I meant by my reference to "a 2", although this obviously wasn't clear!)

Just did a fresh (in fact my first ever) install of Irix 5.3 on an Indy using DINA last night. I had to set "srvaddr" as per the above first, but then everything went pretty soothly!

Thanks Debug!!

In my case, approval from the treasurer for me to acquire an O2k involved an 1800km round trip with a 5 year old and 3 year old in tow.

Worth it.

It came with a bag full of extra memory sticks. Spares, I guess!

After 3 house moves in as many years [jeez these things are heavy] and total usage remaining at zero hours, I have realised it is time to let this beauty go to a better place.

Hopefully PymbleSoftware (owner before me) won't mind me linking to his original HINV of the machine:

Note: Machine is skinless. I have the skins, but after being stuck behind the shed door for the better part of 5 years they are pretty beaten up, including a couple of bits missing altogether.

Located in Melbourne (Blackburn) - local pickup is definitely preferred although I guess I would pack and ship at buyer's cost if the offer was a good one.

Asking $250 AUD. I'll throw in 2 HDD with sleds for another $20 if you want em.
