From PCSAR

migration from zwiki to mediawiki done previously for PCSAR scripts are in pcsar:/root/zwiki-to-mediawiki-migration

clock not accurate. doc.castrov.cuug.ab.ca has vmware-tools installed. pcsar and sara don't.

pcsar:

There is insufficient disk space available in
/usr/local/vmware-tools/lib/vmware-tools.  Please make at least an additional
134200k available or choose another directory.
In which directory do you want to install the library files?
[/usr/local/vmware-tools/lib/vmware-tools] ^CExecution aborted.

pcsar:~/vmware-tools-install/vmware-tools-distrib#             

increased virtual disk size.

Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by
invoking the following command:
"/usr/local/vmware-tools/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want this program
to invoke the command for you now? [yes]

It looks like you are trying to run this program in a remote session. This
program will temporarily shut down your network connection, so you should only
run it from a local console session. Are you SURE you want to continue?
[no]

Please re-run this program from a local console shell.
Execution aborted.

Rerun from VNC to arc:7

requires make.

Setup is unable to find the "make" program on your machine.  Please make sure
it is installed.  Do you want to specify the location of this program by hand?
[yes] 

aptitude update; aptitude upgrade

Set up /etc/apt/sources to use my arc as a caching proxy.

aptitude install gcc make

Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.1.3", while you are trying to use
"/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3.2". This configuration is not recommended and
VMware Tools may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same
compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler
"/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3.2" anyway? [no]                                    
<pre>

 aptitude install gcc-4.1

 pcsar:~/vmware-tools-install/vmware-tools-distrib# CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.1 /usr/local/vmware-tools/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl


What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]

The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory.

 aptitude install linux-headers-2.6-686

This goes on too far.
