Acreage – you’ll notice how big the red is (traditionally it was actually pink, I think, which is hardly the manliest of colours for an empire on which the sun never set). Not something I take pride in, by the way, it’s just surprising how much influence such a small country had, whether for good or ill.

Paul,

Help me out..I’m a bit slow these days. Is this showing acreage? population? percentage of countries in the world? Interesting regardless.

Comment on OpenSolaris on Mac Mini by Paul

At the time I wrote this there was a massive flaw with updating OpenSolaris, which meant it was very easy to kill your system hard enough to require a reinstall. As far as I know that’s now fixed, so there are only two reasons not to do it now:

1. I don’t like (Open)Solaris – but if you’re comfortable with it, then it’s a good choice for you.
2. Macs already come with a pretty good OS – it might not be quite as fast as Solaris, but it’s preobably good enough for a home server.

Thanks guys – it’s an odd thing, but it is a comfort to hear people’s best wishes, which is not something I would have expected. And you’re right, Nic, that’s a great clip.

Comment on Load Balancing Tomcat on Leopard with mod_jk by chris hough

Hello everyone, I am in the process of rebuilding my local development configuration and I am trying to install the tomcat connector so apache and tomcat talk to each other. I have xampp and tomcat installed correctly and verified via safari.

I am using tomcat-connectors-current-src.tar.gz, unzipped to /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfilescustom/tomcatconnectors, I can configure the connector ./configure –with-apxs=/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/apxs however, when I go to use “make” in terminal I get a few odd errors at the very end of the process:

ld: unknown option: -I/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/include collect2: ld returned 1 exit status ld: unknown option: -I/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/include collect2: ld returned 1 exit status lipo: can’t open input file: /var/tmp//ccs5y7FI.out (No such file or directory) make[1]: * [mod_jk.la] Error 1 make: * [all-recursive] Error 1

I am wondering if anyone knows whats up, or can point in the right direction?

Thank you
