SVN error

[root@up-subversion ~]# svn import NetBackup file:///test/ -m "test"
svn: The log message is a pathname (was -F intended?); use '--force-log' to override

Fix
[root@up-subversion ~]# svn import NetBackup file:///test/ -m "test message"

The message name was the same as the repo name and hence the error

Lotus Forms Error

One of the developers in our application team was deploying a forms app on a Websphere Portal and this error kept occuring

[com/PureEdge/xfdl/FormNodeP]: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/PureEdge/xfdl/FormNodeP

It turned out the Websphere Portal did not have the Shared Library LFS_API_LIB configured. Once I added it and restarted the Portal , it worked.

Set language firefox google search

It annoys me often when my google searches via the default firefox google extension directs me to an arabic page. Here's how you fix it on linux (thanks to Colin Verot http://www.verot.net/google_language.htm ).

Edit the file
/usr/lib64/firefox-x.x.x/searchplugins/google.xml
or
/usr/lib/firefox-x.x.x/searchplugins/google.xml

and add the line
Param name="hl" value="en"

Restart Firefox.
