If you have a router, it's probably easier to cap his bandwidth.

Apart from finding that app, you could log the size of all HTTP requests using squid.

Or suggest your son get his own connection.

I'd like to understand what is using all this bandwidth.  He was 
running torrents for a while but I believe he stopped months ago.  He 
talks to friends on Skype.  He plays a couple of online games which 
occasionally have enormous updates.  Some YouTube.  Lots of Facebook 
and other lower-bandwidth stuff.  It seems that he is going through 
40-70 GB per month by himself and I really don't understand what he's 
doing that is consuming all that data.

BTW, with my D-Link router, I think I can limit his network use to 
certain times of the day (and block specific web sites) but I don't 
think I can "cap" his bandwidth.

OpenWRT, DD-RT, Tomato or suchlike might be installable on your router, and may be able to give you this power.

Unfortunately, none of those appear to work with my specific router. I'm reluctant to experiment since my wife uses VPN to connect to work on a regular basis.

Thanks again, Ryan.  I have passed that information on to the KDE developers.

It turns out that the KDE project is intending to move to clang in the future but is
not ready for it yet.  Its build macros do not generate the right settings of clang.

It is OK to build KDE modules with clang, but if you build one that way you must build
the lot with clang.  I was not building my own code with clang, hence my problems.

When clang is used to build KDE modules, many more symbols than necessary
are exported.  That is harmless, but will lead to larger object files than necessary.

Please would you close https://trac.macports.org/ticket/34605 now (I do not seem
to have the right access).

I have included there a summary and a link to the details of what the KDE build-system
developer had to say.  I hope the KDE port guys will have a look.

All the best, Ian W.

Hi Ryan,
I read all and done all what you tell I should do

But the gimp installation hangs an gimp-help-en too

Please, please help me to get a gimp installation.

I am not a port or Linux guru.

Today I run
bash-3.2$ sudo port -v selfupdate
bash-3.2$ sudo port -v upgrade outdated
bash-3.2$ sudo port clean --all installed
bash-3.2$ sudo port -f uninstall gimp-help-en
bash-3.2$ sudo port -s install gimp-help-en configure.args=--without-gimp

But it fails again, what should I do now?

I make a new clean ticket.
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35461
the logfile
https://trac.macports.org/attachment/ticket/35461/main-help-en-ver4.log

I use ML 10.8,  Xcode 4.4, MacPorts 2.1.2

This was not a clean install:
:debug:main Skipping completed org.macports.configure (gimp-help-en)
:debug:main Privilege de-escalation not attempted as not running as root.
:debug:build build phase started at Wed Aug  1 06:24:43 CEST 2012
:notice:build --->  Building gimp-help-en

Configure phase should not be skipped.

`sudo port clean gimp-help-en` then try again, then attach the log to that ticket.

Also, indicate if libxml2 is installed: `port installed libxml2`

And seriously, don't use priority flags in emails for distribution lists. Tech-oriented people are
likely to immediately trash such emails--if the list doesn't automatically.

Hmmmm, this looks oddly familiar.  In fact, it's EXACTLY what I'm seeing.

> > I've fixed this and resolved this ticket.

Oh, ok.  Well, I just did a port selfupdate, and I'm still getting the
same error.  Also, what variant do I use to get gimpshop?

> >> #35356: macports won't work after upgrade to MountainLion 

For what it's worth, I have not upgraded, and until I have the money
to buy a BIG (at least 2--4 TB, as it will not be exclusively for
backups, it'll be partitioned for other stuff, too) external drive to
do a full backup, there's no chance that I will.

And for me, please extend that to include gimpshop.
