Re: XWindow in Sparc4

[Paulo Henrique Baptista de Oliveira]

... Hi Anders and other Sparc Debian users,
the problem of csh is critical to me because everyone in my uni use
csh in Solaris and are wanting to change to Linux but there is this problem:
$ csh
csh: Symbol `_IO_2_1_stdin_' has different size in shared object, consider  
re-linking  
% exit  
$
If anyone can fix this will be good.
Reggards,   Paulo Henrique

  Thank you!  
  It did the trick.   
  Now what about csh error?   
  
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~$ csh   
  csh: Symbol `_IO_2_1_stdin_' has different size in shared object,   
+consider   
  re-linking  
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~$   
   
 That means that your csh is linked an older libc (assuming you have the
 latest
+version of everything). The package needs to be recompiled for this message
to 
+go away. Generally, it doesn't seem to cause any problems though.  
   
 Another solution is to replace csh with tcsh (since tcsh is compiled with a   
+recent enough libc and thus doens't complain). 
   
 Regards,

Hi all,
I installed Debian Sparc in 2 Sparc/4. One is running X and the other
not :( The packages are the same in both. I made the kbd device in the two.
When I type startx the following error occurs:
No screen founds.
I have another problem with csh:
$ csh
-csh: Symbol `_IO_2_1_stdin_' has different size in shared object, consider
re-linking
These bugs are important to elimin because I'introducing Linux in a
envorinment of Sun running Solaris. If doesnt work very well I'll have to 
return to Slowlaris :(
Have a nice day,Paulo Henrique

  Hi Debian Sparc users,
  Excuse me if I'm sending this mail twice. I already send a mail
  yesterday about setting X in a Sparc4 and none answered :(
  I have to setup X in this machine otherwise I'll wave to install
  Slowlaris again :(
  Please help, altought I know that all of you are busy compiling
  Slink packages. Good work guys.
 
 your problem was with X not finding /dev/kbd? well, make it:
 
 mknod /dev/kbd c 11 0
 
 major/minor numbers for devices are listed in /usr/src/linux/Documenta
 tion/devices.txt
 
 HTH,
 
 cm.

You are probably missing the /dev/fb* nodes. Try (cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV fb)

If you mean a sparcStation4 with the tcx onboard graphics, then yes, the 
debian X packages should work on it.
