[CentOS] Getting EXTERN.h, perl.h, etc

[CentOS] how to disable scim
Hello: I keep getting these An IOException occurred at scim_bridge_client_imcontext_set_cursor_location () messages -- and I'd like to turn them off. I won't mind having scim just plain turned off. However, in using Google, I find a hint such as "right click on the tray, ..." -- so where's the tray? A second part of that hint suggested using System:Administration:Language Support -- there's a "Language" (which allows me to select my default language) but nothing about scim. So, any hints about how to nuke scim?

Yes. Embed following into a file, have cursor above any blocks you want
changed, and source this:
let uat= search('^\s*#\s*Catalog.*uat0[123]$','W')
if uat
if getline(uat+1) =~ ''
let hasprepend = search('^\s*PathPrepend /inquiryservices','Wn')
let lmend = search('^\s*','W')
if lmend && hasprepend
exe uat+1 "," lmend-1 "s/Cluster 172.21.1.1:/Cluster
172.21.1.2:7000/e"
endif
endif
endif
That's a one shot change. You could wrap this into a function or map
and call it as often as wished.
I suggest asking vim questions on the vim mailing list, BTW. See
http://vim.sourceforge.net/community.php . You might get a better
answer than mine there, too.

I'd use flashblock but attempts to download it ccomplain of a missing install script. I've tried the latest flash plugin and it crashes Seamonkey. I can use the latest flash plugin with firefox, however. Its been at least a month like that. So -- has anyone gotten 1.1.15 Seamonkey working with the latest flash plugin on Centos?

Which distro? Which version of Apache? What language is the script in?
Can you execute the script from the command line? (Many web script
systems allow you to debug from the command line with some suitable
setup, allowing you to test without an actual web server.)
My client side is a centos o/s... but the server side is an SGI. I've
found the following in a couple of httpd.conf files (I've found three on
the system):
httpd.conf -- SGI Outbox Apache HTTP server config file... [ port 80 ]
In there:
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
The scripts and html page are in that sort of a directory, ie.
/usr/people/cec/public_html , so I think the httpd.conf is the pertinent
one.
How do I find out what version of Apache is installed? How do I find
out if SELinux is enabled?
The script -- well, I've tried Kornshell:
#! /bin/ksh
echo '$*<'$*'>'
echo 'QUERY_STRING<'${QUERY_STRING}'>'
and I've written a small C file, compiled it, etc. In both cases I set
permissions to rwxrwxrwx (and directory paths) just to make sure for now
that they are not permission bound.
Both the script and executable work fine from the command line.

[CentOS] html/form newbie: trying to upload a little data to a server
Hello! I've been trying for several hours to upload a few bits of data (not a file) from an html form to a server, and none of my variants have worked thus far. I've done some web searching, too. Anyway, here's the form: UserID: Date : Time : I've tried mmsrequest as a script and as an executable. Full path, etc. In and out of cgi-bin. Variants tried: method="GET" I end up with a copy of the script (well, I told the browser not to bother trying to display the executable), instead of having the script run. method="POST" I either end up with a "Not Found" or "Method Not Allowed". I've always insured that permissions were rwxrwxrwx, just to avoid any permissions problem, expecting to tighten that up after I got the basic thing working. I don't particularly care if the script or executable gets the information from the command line separated by ampersands and whatnot, environment variable (QUERY_STRING, or so I understand), or from standard input. However, I do care that the script/program gets run and does get the information somehow, on the server side. Any suggestions?
