hi. tried your compilation on both of my 2 Macs, a Powerbook running OSX 10.3 and a PoewrMac G4 running OSX 10.2...

followed the steps on installing it... and both scripts installed properly...
what sets me back was when i tried launching the program (based on the steps outlined) from the terminal by typing:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/ypops

unfortunately, on both machines, it gave me an error stating...

Code: Select all

Hi edmonch,

As discussed in another thread "where to upload my ...,", (the post on Oct 31), this is the symptom of not having libxml installed. My compilation requires the dynamic loading xml library, which can be installed vai fink package management.
see <http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12077>

The perfect solution should be to make the compiled ypops binary a self-contained program, not requiring any external library. However, this is beyond my capability. So for now, please install libxml separately. I should have included this explanation in the readme file.

To answer your question in another thread, regarding if the compiled binary can run in Jaguar (Mac OS 10.2.x), I don't know. I haven't tried it. In fact, you are the best candidate to try it and tell us here. I guess it would work because ypops does not depend on any Mac OS X specific library. openssl, curl are supplied by fink package management system and are contained in the binary; they are not dependent on Mac OS X version.

hi, tried installing fink 0.6.3 on my jaguar and 0.7.1 on my panther machine. prior to reinstalling yahoopops...

fink installed well on the panther machine.. however, when i launched yahoopops via terminal by the command

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/ypops

it produced an error like this

On your panther machine, your fink seems to be installed OK. However, you still need to use fink commander to download 'libxml' package. Download 'binary' version of libxml.

I didn't understand the reason you install fink 0.6.3 on your Jaguar machine, until I read the readme file in fink 0.7.1. The latest fink (0.7.1) is only for Panther (Mac OS X 10.3.x).

I agree with your reasoning. fink 0.6.3 seems broken on your machine. I don't have any solution for you. Sorry.

hi,

i was wondering if the libxml binary is also downloadable at fink's site, if not, and if it isn't too much for you, could you email me the binary libxml package? thanks very much

my email is at edmon_cu(at)yahoo(dotcom). thanks a bunch.

[edmoncu]

hi, i tried finding the fink libxml packages... i would like to confirm if these are the pages for the binary distribution of the libxml package...
for Fink 0.6.3
for Fink 0.7.1

but i have a couple of questions...
- am i on the right track at getting the libxml package?
- i dunno which libxml file i should download in the list...
- i dunno what to do with the *.DEB files i've downloaded as i haven't seen any instructions on processing DEB files.

edmoncu,
You did it in the hard way. You should definitely use 'Fink Commander' to do all of your fink operation. It is a graphic user interface and a front end of fink. It comes with fink 0.7.1; however, it should work on the older version of fink as well. Versiontracker.com also has it in a separate download.

*Launch fink commander.
*After it retrieves the latest table from fink server, it shows a list of available packages. Those packages you have installed on your Mac will have marks on the list.
*Scroll down to about the middle of the list and find libxml.
*Highlight it and click the icon on the top of the window showing 'Mac OS X's generic application icon' (a slanted sheet with A on it); this is to instruct fink commander to download a binary form of the selected package (libxml). Another icon next to it looks like '.h', which means the source code of that package. We don't want to compile it ourselves, so avoid it. You can mouse over those icons to get the idea about what those icons do.
* another package 'libxml-shlib'. I'm not sure if it is needed for ypops operation. However, I have it installed, too.

These steps would be much easier than doing fink in Terminal command line.

hi,

i've downloaded fink commander and used it under osx 10.2 with fink 0.6.3. it successfully installed libxml...

yahoopops installed well via the install_ypops_script.command file...

however, upon running launch_ypops.command the following appeared:

hmm... im at a loss...
upon running the launch_ypops.command file, it successfully (i think) launched yahoopops..

however, whenever i checked my yahoo emails via the Mail app of OSX... this window pops up and no emails were retrieved...

[Q3Q]

edmoncu,

What did you do to make those error messages away? Those on your Mac OS X 10.2 machine when you launched ypops on 12/13:

Code: Select all

dyld: /usr/local/bin/ypops.bin Undefined symbols:
/usr/local/bin/ypops.bin undefined reference to _btowc expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

/usr/local/bin/ypops.bin undefined reference to _dlsym expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib


In your post on 12/14, it seems that you didn't have such problem any more.

For the error message from Apple's Mail.app, it indicates that you haven't set the local host port to 5058 in Mail.app preference for yahoopop account. It is described in the readme, in the section of Detail / How to use it.

[edmoncu]

i followed the steps outlined at the doc (as well as the libs i have to install via fink commander) regarding the mail settings including the port number of the pop server... it has properly verified password and all, but it doesnt download any mail at all as if there were no unread messages on my yahoo mail inbox w/c there is.

under OSX 10.2, it seems that the problem is more fink related so i guess i'l leave it there for now (or i will have to update to OSX 10.3).

[charlar]

Hi, I've been following this post for a few days now, caught it right at the moment and I have had nearly the exact same results as edmoncu.

I'm using an ibook g4 osx 10.3.6. I installed fink (with a few errors, but seems to work) and updated libxml, to successfully work the install_ypops_script.command and launch_ypops.command. Here are the messages:

for install_ypops_script.command:
-------------
Hello! This script will assist you to place ypop files at the right places.
/usr/local/bin to host ypops and ypops.bin

sub-directories
Also, it need the privilege to copy files to those directories.
The system will ask for administrator password.

If you have to edit the configuration file ypopsrc,
it is locaated at /usr/local/share

and


for launch_ypops.command:
-------------
Hello! This script will launch ypops for you
It runs the command /usr/local/bin/ypops

done.
Now, you can close this window, or even quit Terminal.app
ypops.bin will still run in the background.


However I cannot login to my account from apple mail. I tried ports 110, 5058 (also changed the file ypopsrc from 5058 to 110), with and without ssl, tried naming localhost to /localhost, 127.0.0.1, and to my ip but none of them worked. It either says "refuses to allow a connection on port.." or "The server “__” cannot be contacted on port 5058, etc.

If you have any more ideas on what the problem could be I would really like to try it out. Thanks.

Hi charlar and edmoncu,

Let's check the trivial thing first. Does 'ypops' really get lanuched and being running?
Have a new terminal window open.

Type 'ps' without quote and hit RETURN key. Do you see something like

nnnn std S 0:06.72 /usr/local/bin/ypops.bin

If so, then ypops is running and your problems must be related to Mail.app's communication with ypops. We need to observe the logging message from ypops. Unfortunately, it seems that the log file won't be generated unless ypopsrc location is specified at home directory during compilation. The binary I shared with you is not set to do so. To work around this, try to terminate ypops.bin process (by 'kill nnnn' without quote in terminal window, where 'nnnn' is the PID shown in 'ps' command for ypops.bin.) and launch it again manually by typing '/usr/local/bin/ypops' in terminal window. You should see ypops will dump its interpretation of ypopsrc content to the terminal window when it is launched. Also, whenever Mail.app communicate with ypops, there will be technical detail to be dumped in the terminal window. Hopefully we can see something here.

If no 'ypops.bin' in the output message of 'ps', then your problems is due to ypops' failure to launch, due to, for example, the library problem you encountered.
