Eclipse 4.5 - Mars - OSX - can't open my workspace - not responding

Try starting it with -clean, if that doesn't work 
try deleting .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/ contents.

perl: Data::Dumper dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _isWORDCHAR Referenced from: /perl5/Library/Perl/Updates/5.12.3/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.bundle Expected in: flat namespace dyld: Symbol not found: _isWORDCHAR

When installing Data::Dumper package 2.143 on MacOSX with perl 5.12.3 as runtime I received test results that were bad on the Dumper.xs tests. SO I forced the installation.... bad idea... got these errors on some of the Dumper calls when debugging DBIx result sets.

dyld: Symbol not found: _isWORDCHAR
  Referenced from: /Users/me/perl5/Library/Perl/Updates/5.12.3/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.bundle
  Expected in: flat namespace

Solution: manually get out there on CPAN and get 2.145

$ cd .cpan/build
$ wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/S/SM/SMUELLER/Data-Dumper-2.145.tar.gz
$ tar pfvx Data-Dumper-2.145.tar.gz
$ cd Data-Dumper-2.145
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make && make test && make install

And it starts working ... here context of my Dumper calls that failed.... hope this helps anyone!

mampstack-5.3.22-0 and OCI8 Oracle on OSX 10.7.5

Installed mampstack-5.3.22-0 from bitnami.org, all defaults.... (NOTE: I tried MAMP/MAMP-PRO first and this product was not agile enough to install the OCI8 module, so stay away, unless you like to puzzle your way thru the installation)

Installed Oracle's instantclient for MacOSX x86_64 editions on oracles download site (login required)

• instantclient-sdk-macos.x64-11.2.0.3.0.zip
• instantclient-sqlplus-macos.x64-11.2.0.3.0.zip
• instantclient-basic-macos.x64-11.2.0.3.0.zip
• instantclient-tools-macos.x64-11.2.0.3.0.zip

Installation InstantClient Oracle on x86_64

Unpack all downloaded package (located in my case under ~/Downloads)

$ mkdir -p /System/Library/Oracle/
$ cd /System/Library/Oracle/
$ unzip ~/Downloads/instantclient*.zip .

Next linking all of the libraries to the general area.

$ cd /usr/lib
$ ls  /System/Library/Oracle/instantclient_11_2/*.dylib | xargs -I% -t ln -s % .
ln -s /System/Library/Oracle/instantclient_11_2/libnnz11.dylib .
ln -s /System/Library/Oracle/instantclient_11_2/libociei.dylib .
ln -s /System/Library/Oracle/instantclient_11_2/libocijdbc11.dylib .
ln -s /System/Library/Oracle/instantclient_11_2/libsqlplus.dylib .
ln -s /System/Library/Oracle/instantclient_11_2/libsqlplusic.dylib .

The result symlinked the libraries

$ ls -lrt
total 40
lrwxr-xr-x  1 akaan  wheel  60 Mar 13 13:15 libsqlplusic.dylib -> /System/Library/Oracle/instantclient_11_2/libsqlplusic.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x  1 akaan  wheel  58 Mar 13 13:15 libsqlplus.dylib -> /System/Library/Oracle/instantclient_11_2/libsqlplus.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x  1 akaan  wheel  60 Mar 13 13:15 libocijdbc11.dylib -> /System/Library/Oracle/instantclient_11_2/libocijdbc11.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x  1 akaan  wheel  56 Mar 13 13:15 libociei.dylib -> /System/Library/Oracle/instantclient_11_2/libociei.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x  1 akaan  wheel  56 Mar 13 13:15 libnnz11.dylib -> /System/Library/Oracle/instantclient_11_2/libnnz11.dylib

Follow the same process for other items

$ cd /usr/lib
$ sudo ls  /System/Library/Oracle/instantclient_11_2/*.dylib.* | xargs -I% -t ln -s % .

Next linking the include header files.

$ cd /usr/include
$ sudo ls  /System/Library/Oracle/instantclient_11_2/sdk/include/*.h | xargs -I% -t ln -s % .

Next linking sqlplus

$ cd /usr/bin
$ sudo ln -s /System/Library/Oracle/instantclient_11_2/sqlplus .

And last relink the versioned cntl file

$ cd /usr/lib
$ sudo ln -s libclntsh.dylib.11.1 libclntsh.dylib

Installation oci8 module on mampstack-5.3.22-0

Next tying in the oci8 module for PHP connectivity... First validate that sqlplus works otherwise you waste time with a broken instant client installation.

Enter user-name: 

Next move to the mampstack installation directory under the php area and install the oci8 package, when prompted for the installation of the instantclient use instantclient,/usr/lib

Altering PHP.ini

If you see messages like this one in your /Applications/mampstack-5.3.22-0/apache2/logs/error_log, it means that your oci8 shared object cannot be loaded by the Apache instance;

[Wed Mar 13 14:02:52 2013] [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `signings-macbook-pro.local' does NOT match server name!?
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/Applications/mampstack-5.3.22-0/php/lib/php/extensions/oci8' - dlopen(/Applications/mampstack-5.3.22-0/php/lib/php/extensions/oci8, 9): image not found in Unknown on line 0

Do the following

MacBook-Pro:etc johnsmith$ cd /Applications/mampstack-5.3.22-0/php/etc
MacBook-Pro:etc johnsmith$ vi php.ini 
add oci8 extension
.....
; Local Variables:

; End:
;extension=oauth.so
;extension=memcache.so
;extension=uploadprogress.so
extension=apc.so
extension=oci8.so
.....
MacBook-Pro:etc johnsmith$ chmod 755 /Applications/mampstack-5.3.22-0/php/lib/php/extensions/oci8.so

Make sure that the extension is defined at the proper section otherwise it will not load correctly with the same image not found message in the error log (/Applications/mampstack-5.3.22-0/apache2/logs/error_log).

My First Oracle Test OCI8-PHP-MAMP

Set a blazingly fast keyboard repeat rate (cursor movement) in Terminal MacOSX

(plagiarized from http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090823193018149) Everybody knows that you can get a pretty fast keyboard repeat rate by changing a slider on the Keyboard tab of the Keyboard & Mouse System Preferences panel. But you can make it even faster! In Terminal, run this command:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain KeyRepeat -int 0

Then log out and log in again. The fastest setting obtainable via System Preferences is 2 (lower numbers are faster), so you may also want to try a value of 1 if 0 seems too fast. You can always visit the Keyboard & Mouse System Preferences panel to undo your changes. You may find that a few applications don't handle extremely fast keyboard input very well, but most will do just fine with it.

Adding size Column to Saved Searches

Add Size and other columns to search results ... stolen and plagiarized for my own selfish need. I was very disappointed that I couldn't add the Size column to the list view in search results. Only Date Created and Date Modified were added as options in 10.6; the others are grayed out. Fortunately, I found a way to force the Size column to appear, as well as Comments, Version and Label columns. You'll have to edit the com.apple.finder.plist file found in

~/Library/Preferences

, using the Property List Editor app (included with Xcode) or PlistEdit Pro. Open the Root node, then navigate down into

SearchViewSettings » ListViewSettings » columns

. Then choose the column you want to activate in the column list (ie. Size), and set the visible key to yes. Save the .plist and relaunch the Finder (Option-Control-click on the Finder icon in the Dock). Note: you must have done at least one search, and selected one of the additional columns in the View Options panel for the search results (Date Created, for example), or else your .plist file may not contain the SearchViewSettings node. Warning: Apple probably disabled these columns for a good reason, as there may be some bugs that could cause problems on your system. I didn't have any problems with the size column, but be warned.

Mac OSX - running xterm and X11 xhost: unable to open display

So alright you have Mac OSX. Yay I I have a VPN to the office. Yay II (ip vpn adapter: 172.18.146.250) I have oodles of linux boxes! Yay III The problem: One odd ball process on my linux will throw a X11 Graphics error so how to get around that.... Try 1: Do the standard export and xhost + trick open Terminal.app and run:

computer:~ ~$ export DISPLAY=172.18.146.250:0
computer:~ ~$ xhost +
xhost:  unable to open display "172.18.146.250:0"

KeyRemapForMacBook and Kinesis Classic Keyboad mapping private.xml

The KeyRemapFor4MacBook tool is excellent to map any key or mouse event to your needs. I have a Kinesis Classic Ergonomic keyboard (PS1) and wanted to use it in my new office setup. Love the keyboard, love the Mac however both together the do not play nice (plus I do not want to buy a new Kinesis with Multimedia keymapping) So here we are the following details for the private.xml for Kenisis Classic Using the following translation tables: Key Mapping The first thing is to identify the make and model of the keyboard that I have. Goto the "About This Mac" and click "More Info" and a detailed summary of all the hardware and software metadata pops up.

NOTE: scroll down for version 8 syntax which has slightly changed... Its a work in progress but here the full what I have defined as the private.xml

Reboot Windows From macosx RDP session

There is a lot of confusing key combinations out there but essentially this is my recipe on my MacOSX 10.6.x with RDP "Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac" by Microsoft v2.0.0.0

1. perform a show desktop which is really minimize all running applications on the Windows side in the RDP session.
2. click on the desktop of the Windows side in the RDP session and hit Fn-Option-Command-F4 and you will get presented with the Restart/Shutdown/Lock options on the windows machine
