PFsense…

@http://urlgrabber.baseurl.org/:

It's really easy to build an RPM from the tarball. Simply unpack the tarball, cd into it, and do
python setup.py bdist_rpm

Ok, so you're trying to build an RPM file.
Do you realise that RPMs are not a FreeBSD format and hence not supported by pfSense?

Why are you trying to do this. What do you need URLGrabber for? If you tell us why you are doing all this we may be able to suggest an easier option. ::)

indeed i want to use the pfsense for Video cache,, nd plz see this

http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Setup_VideoCache_with_Squid
if there's another way to do that i wll be thankfull to show me how

im new to use pfsense this's the first time to me :).. so thank you for your help

Sorry I may be being thick here but there is a FreeBSD 8.1 package for urlgrabber so why not just install that.

I should also add that it depends on ca_root_nss-3.12.11_2, curl-7.21.3_2, py27-curl-7.19.0_1, python27-2.7.2_3

Just read that link you posted to a pfsense how-to. Please be aware that it is now py27-*

stephenw10

Ah! Well now we are getting somewhere. ;)

Have you added all the python packages in that link?

Steve

afamnu

yes steve already i did it ,,,

#pkg_add -r python

pkg_add -r py25-bsddb

pkg_add -r py25-gdbm

pkg_add -r py25-sqlite3

pkg_add -r py25-tkinter

but everything i did it manualy,,
same as pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.2-release/databases/py26-gdbm-2.6.6.tbz

Those packages you added are based on python25 the urlgrabber package you are using is based on python26. So the first thing that springs to mind is your dependencies are the wrong version. If you take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/ports and do a search for urlgrabber you can view the changes for each package and it's dependencies.

Just to confuse things even further the most recent port/package, which also runs on FreeBSD 8.1 is based on python27 but I suggest you stick to the python26 tree.

See the response in the thread you created for that question. Cross posting can make it difficult to track a topic so if possible please try to avoid it :)

There is a actually FreeBSD package for videocache. I wonder why it was not used originally?

Steve

afamnu

where i can find it steve ??

stephenw10

It's in the ftp archive same as the other packages:

ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/videocache.tbz

I have never tried this package.I have never run videocache in any way. I can guess that there was a good reason why JimP didn't use it in his how-to.

You're welcome to try it though. ;)

I didn't write the howto, I just posted it on the wiki. There is an attribution at the bottom of the doc listing its original writer. I've never used videocache.

Gloom

I think you'll find that videocache is now a commercial product and not cheap
