No. They don't. If someone really doesn't want to work, and keep avoiding help, he
will find his or her self with less money everytime he or she makes clear not to feel
like wanting to work. There is a minimum amount one always gets if he/she is

That's what the whole system is about. If one lose a job and can't find another, he or

On the contrary. Somalia has a number governments, all fighting for
supremacy. And they all "tax" (i.e., rob) everyone that doesn't "tax" them
first.
Those situations which statists hold out as examples of anarchy always turn
out to actually be polyarchy.

John,
Due to the complexity of PHP, it is near impossible to build one common RPM for
every application.
For your problem (a very common one actually), here's the solution:
Assuming you've installed both Apache and MySQL with RPMS,
remove mod_php3 with the command "rpm -e mod_php3".
Get the SOURCE RPM for mod_php3 and install it using the command "rpm -Uvh
mod_php3-3.0.x-x.src.rpm".
Edit the /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/mod_php3.spec file.
Look for the %build section and add
"--with-mysql=/usr \" (there is a space after /usr)
Once you've done this, build the RPM with the command "rpm -bb
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/mod_php3.spec"
The RPM will be created in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
Install this RPM normally (rpm -ivh mod_php3*), restart apache, and all shall be
sane in world once more =]

Check out amtec's tecplot package. I think it comes closest to
origin, as far as I can deduce from the demo.
Download the demo, get a free demo-license and check it out
yourself. It's available at www.amtec.com
For those who have the money, they can buy a proper license
(about 1000 US$, woow!). That's another similarity with
Origin :-)

but I'm afraid I'm not an emacs person.

Another "not strictly portable but more portable than struct packing"
way to achieve a similar result is to use readv/writev. Many Unix
systems have these functions, and the Linux system I'm on right now
appears to.
For those who don't know, the "v" in readv/writev stands for
"vector".
You pass in a set of "struct iovec" structures. Each one has a void*
element (iovbase) and a size_t element (iov_len). So, if the first
iovec has an iov_len of 5 and an iovbase at address "A", and the next
has an iov_len of 10 and an iovbase at address "B", and you "readv" in
15 bytes, the first 5 will end up stored at address "A" and the next
10 will end up stored at address "B", regardless of where those are in
memory. The "writev" function is directly analogous. It's a sort of
scatter-gather I/O to and from memory.
It's perfect for dealing with packing/unpacking structs, and even if
you don't care about POSIX compatibility, it's still a lot more
portable than fiddling with struct packing. Depending on the
implementation you're using, they can be *much* faster than
implementing the same behavior yourself (eg. consider hardware that
can do DMA to/from discontiguous regions).
Does anyone know if these are being added to POSIX or some other Unix
standard sometime soon? They're on just about every Unix system I've
used (Solaris, AIX, BSDI, Linux, and others) and they're really
useful, but I haven't heard that they're a part of any official
standard yet. (AFAIK, readv/writev come from BSD 4.2, have been
around for at least 12 years, and haven't changed in that time. IMHO,
they would be useful additions to any Unix standard.)

You can have only 4 primary partitions .... in your case, you have a

you can increase your extended and create linux partitions or swap with disk

mount point is used to split your filesystem to be stored in separate
partition e.g. your 1st partition for / and your 2nd partition for /home
therefore, users' homes are stored in separate partiton than programs.etc.
:>2. Drop to fill disk?
It means it will automatically grow to fill up the empty space on disk when
creating partition.
e.g you have 2gb space, 1st partition-growable and size 1mb, 2nd partition
(for swap)-fixed and 64mb, when the partition is created the 1st partition
will be (2gb-64mb) .... so, it means that you don't have to perform the

I had the same problem trying to print to an HP4M with the HP Jet Direct
card installed. Works fine from my NT network but Linux couldn't print
to it (or I'm not smart enough to figure out how to do it). Finally set
it up to print from another NT server with a printer hard wired to the
server.

No. You have to read the docs.

You are using bison. Read the bison-info file.
OK, here's the beef from the info file:
....
The Bison parser expects to report the error by calling an error
reporting function named `yyerror', which you must supply. It is
called by `yyparse' whenever a syntax error is found, and it receives
one argument. For a parse error, the string is normally
`"parse error"'.
....
The following definition suffices in simple programs:
yyerror (s)
char *s;
{
fprintf (stderr, "%s\n", s);
}
HTH,
Uli

I don't have that. But there are a few tricks one can use:
nm <library> will give you all the symbols from that library. Useful to run
on the libraries (in /lib, /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib etc.) if you get complaints
of missing symbols Use in conjunction with grep.
If you get complaints about things not defined at compile-time, again use grep
on the include-files (/usr/include, /usr/local/include etc. and subdirs). A
nice command is find, use it for example like this:
find /usr/include -name "*.h" -exec grep MISSING_SYMBOL {} /dev/null \;
The /dev/null is a trick to make grep output the file-names before the line
containing the symbol.
Often, header-files that's not found is just residing in a sub-directory, or
vice versa. Simply change the source-file to reflect that. find is a good
command to use here too.
If you get compile-problems in included header-files, try just removing the
#include-statement, and see what's missing. Then go back to the header-file
and see how it's defined. Sometimes, you can just add that section manually.
These are some quick tricks to make something compile. Some of them are
perhaps not good style, but often it works.

Subject: need help with kppp and floppies PLEASE
Date: Mon, 09 Aug 1999 18:16:48 GMT
(this is copied from comp.os.linux.networking)
Hi,
I need some assistance with kppp. I set my connections up using linuxconf.
Kppp will dial the modem (Creative Labs Modem Blaster) and start to log in,
but in the end it reports:
"Error
Timeout expired while waiting for the PPP interface to come up!"
Additionally, I think it's a problem with kppp (I'm not sure though),
because when I use the connect in linuxconf it doesn't complain. But I don't
know how to test that to make sure (I've only had it installed for 3 days)
I'm using Linux-Mandrake 6.0
I don't have to use kppp, but what else am I going to do? I tried using
minicom, and I think it worked, but I couldn't get Netscape or any thing
else to work.
I'm also having trouble with floppies. When I try to mount one (or do
anything with it, for that matter) I get the message "Error: you must
specify a filesystem type" but Linux mandrake comes with controls that are
supposed to auto mount and auto detect the filesystem type.
If there's any one who has successfully used Linux-Mandrake (or just KDE) to
connect to the Internet and other basic things (mounting floppies, CD, zip
drives, setting up Ethernet (Samba), adding and removing programs), that
would be willing to correspond with me, I'd REALLY appreciate it.
Thank in advance.
