httperf

Getting httpref to compile with ssl support on Solaris 10 x86 was a challenge. First I downloaded it of course, then I applied these settings to my environment: 

export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/ssl/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib"
./configure --prefix=/u/egge/
grep rpl_malloc *
vi config.h
# Remove #define malloc rpl_malloc
make clean && make && make install
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/ssl/lib"
$ ldd /u/egge/bin/httperf
        libresolv.so.2 =>        /lib/libresolv.so.2
        libnsl.so.1 =>   /lib/libnsl.so.1
        libsocket.so.1 =>        /lib/libsocket.so.1
        libssl.so.0.9.8 =>       /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8
        libcrypto.so.0.9.8 =>    /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
        libm.so.2 =>     /lib/libm.so.2
        libc.so.1 =>     /lib/libc.so.1
        libmp.so.2 =>    /lib/libmp.so.2
        libmd5.so.1 =>   /lib/libmd5.so.1
        libscf.so.1 =>   /lib/libscf.so.1
        libdl.so.1 =>    /lib/libdl.so.1
        libgcc_s.so.1 =>         /u/egge/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
        libdoor.so.1 =>  /lib/libdoor.so.1
        libuutil.so.1 =>         /lib/libuutil.so.1


tar

When I first compiled gnu's tar for Solaris, I had libiconv.so.2 dynamically linked. The problem with this is when I copied the tar binary to another machine I had to add libiconv.so.2 to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. 

$ ldd /u/egge/bin/tar
        libiconv.so.2 =>         (file not found)
        librt.so.1 =>    /lib/librt.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /lib/libc.so.1
        libaio.so.1 =>   /lib/libaio.so.1
        libmd5.so.1 =>   /lib/libmd5.so.1
        libm.so.2 =>     /lib/libm.so.2

I'm not sure if the LD_OPTIONS is needed, but in theory, this should allow the runtime linker to search a relative path. 

$ export LD_OPTIONS='-R $ORIGIN/../lib'
$ unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME --exec-prefix=$HOME --with-static
$ make && make install

Now tar is compiled without a dependency on libiconv.so.2. 

$ ldd tar 
        librt.so.1 =>    /lib/librt.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /lib/libc.so.1
        libaio.so.1 =>   /lib/libaio.so.1
        libmd5.so.1 =>   /lib/libmd5.so.1
        libm.so.2 =>     /lib/libm.so.2

rsync

I was getting an error when transferring some files 

$ rsync -e ssh ...
rsync: error writing 4 unbuffered bytes - exiting: Broken pipe
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(464)
$ rsync --version
rsync  version 2.5.4  protocol version 26

Capabilities: 64-bit files, socketpairs, hard links, symlinks, batchfiles, no IPv6,
              64-bit system inums, 64-bit internal inums

I compiled a more recent rsync (2.6.9), and it fixed the issue.

I have a user installed rsync, and a locked down ssh. In order to rsync files, I use this command. 

rsync -e ssh --rsync-path=~/bin/rsync -avz --progress source dest

vim Solaris 5.8

source-highlight-2.7 

# First I needed to compile boost.  This was not so bad
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME --exec-prefix=$HOME --with-libraries=regex --enable-static=yes
# The I had to figure out how to get source-highlight to compile
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME --exec-prefix=$HOME --enable-static=yes --enable-shared=yes CPPFLAGS=-I${HOME}/include/boost-1_34_1 \
--with-boost-regex=gcc41-1_34_1

Comma separate a list

The challenge here is to avoid a trailing comma. 

$ echo "foo\nbar\n" | awk ' {printf "%s%s",s,$0;s=","}END{print ""} '
foo,bar

Run a command on all hosts in a netgroup

mrsh -P -c 'uptime' your-netgroup
