[expert] OT: happy ending story...
Hi!
This one is not about troubles but about success. I hope you apologize...
I was about to post this mail to the list:

Don't you just love it: thinking you have fixed a problem after a long
fight and next time, you get the same problem all over again...?
I am trying to compile kexplorer 0.2 and again the configure script won't
recognize that I've libpng installed and 'make' fails ('undefined
reference blah'). That's just the same game as it was with kexpress. But I
fixed that, damnit! I compiled kexpress 0.17 and 0.2 without any problems
(the app wasn't worth it, but that's another story).
Here are some details:
from configure:
checking for main in -ljpeg... yes
checking for main in -ltiff... yes
checking for main in -lpng... no
from config.log:
configure:4413: checking for main in -lpng
configure:4428: g++ -o conftest -O2 -Wall -s conftest.C -lpng '-lz' 1>&5
g++: '-lz': No such file or directory

The png-devel-package is installed, of course. What the hell?

Summing up all the gory details I encountered suddenly a 'magic moment'.
"Hey, wait...". And indeed: the configure script reads:
LIBS="-lpng '-lz' $LIBS"
I changed that line to
LIBS="-lpng -lz $LIBS"
and everything went well...

[expert] No-brainer: adding other wm's to kdm
Hi! Just got Window-Maker. Could someone please explain me how to get it started by kdm? The kcontrol help about 'session' is far from being helpful (indeed it just says RTFM in kinder words and it isn't covered elsewhere) and I am too lazy to go through man xdm etc myself...

Re: [expert] installation on ibm dghs18v
Also check with the specs for your SCSI host adaptor, but I'm fairly certain the board supplies the termination power, therefor it should be disabled on the drive. Try fdisk again and delete any partitions, write to disk, reboot and rerun fdisk adding your partition. Check the drive geometry (number of heads and cylinders) in fdisk matchs what your bios reports.

Make sure that the U2W *cable* you are using has built-in termination. The terminator should look like a half-sized match box, usually colored black. -- Yusry Harfuddin [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Linux rulez, Windoze sucks.
[expert] installation on ibm dghs18v
Hi, I'm trying to install Mandrake 5.3 on a new machine: dual pii 350 512 mb ram asus p2b-ds 18 gb ibm dghs18v u2w scsi The 18 gb hard drive is the only hard drive on this system. I've set the scsi id of the drive to 0, and all of the scsi bios parameters look ok. This is the only scsi device in the system, so I've set the active termination jumper. The drive and its correct scsi id are detected by bios at startup. During the Mandrake installation, the on-board aic7890 scsi host is detected, as is the hard drive. But then when I try to partition the disk, the installation hangs. When I tried fdisk, I got no prompt for partitioning commands. Then I restarted the installation and tried to use disk druid. I got the error message: Bad Partition Table- The partition table on device sda is corrupted. To create new partitions it must be initialized, causing the loss of all data on this drive. Since there wasn't anything on the drive, I went ahead and initialized. But now it's been hanging for over twelve hours in "Setup filesystems". Is it formatting the drive? I know it'll take some time to format an 18 gb hard drive, but this does not seem normal. Also, there are jumpers on this drive for active termination and termination power enable. Should both of these be shorted? Right now, I've only shorted the active termination jumpers. Thanks for any suggestions, Hidong
