Installing Drupal on Centos using Postgres instead of MySQL gets a bit tricky
By Robin Rowe
Drupal powers the Obama White House site whitehouse.gov
HOLLYWOOD, CA (Gosh!TV) 12/22/2009 – Drupal is a popular content publishing program that the White House uses since Obama took office. The standard Drupal installation uses MySQL. Many prefer Postgres because they find it more robust and faster with multiple connections. Drupal supports Postgres (and Sqlite, too). Let’s install on CentOS. (more…)

Mac OS X is, if you know the secrets, a great platform for working with popular open source software that was intended for Linux

Using RText because Scite isn't available yet for the Mac
HOLLYWOOD, CA (Gosh!TV) 12/10/2009 – In this quick tutorial (or “gouge”) we’ll look at how to set up Mac OS X to build free open source Linux software such as CinePaint. Mac OS X offers a free graphical compiler app called Xcode. We’ll download that but not use it as a graphical programming environment. Instead, we’ll do everything the Linux way so that we maintain total compatibility of code across Linux and Mac OS X.
Installing GNU Make in a terminal in Mac OS X
Snow Leopard 10.6, the current version of Mac OS X, only runs on Intel-based Macs. We’re developing on a G5 PowerPC desktop running Tiger 10.4. It makes little difference what version of Mac OS X we’re using because we’re avoiding relying on anything specific to the Mac when building POSIX code. We’ll build code from a terminal window using the usual Linux commands.
We’ll make the same source code to build on Mac OS X or Linux. Each of these UNIX-based systems are highly compatible at the platform level known as POSIX. The same C/C++ POSIX-compatible code can (more…)
