It's not actually that exciting :) It's tail but with colours, so your logs come out in colur when you view them. Get it from: http://www.student.hk-r.se/~pt98jan/colortail.html And the patch to make it compile on 9.0 from: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/colortail/colortail-0.3.0-gcc3.patch.gz?download Cheers, Jord On Thursday 05 Dec 2002 7:14 pm, David Guntner wrote: Jordan Elver grabbed a keyboard and wrote: Hi Lorne, Thanks for the reply.

Great, I recently tried to compile this on 9. How do I apply the patch though? TIA, Jord On Wednesday 04 Dec 2002 4:02 am, Lorne wrote: Good news guys. A simple new little tool was brought to my attention. It is a simple little tool for graphically coloring information. It doesn't compile in Mandrake 9.0. It gives errors. I've been in contact with the author and he was very good at responding and giving us a patch!! Woohoo, it works!!! Here is the response from him: I put the patch on sourceforge in the colortail project there. Here's a direct link to the file: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/colortail/colortail-0.3.0-gcc3.patch.gz? download Now I have one more little dilema! I would LOVE to make this work on Mandrake security, which I'm currently running on my firewall. I get an error when I try. I thought I could just take the compiled one and run that, but no... is there anyone out here that is an expert on the security release? -- Jordan Elver http://www.jordanelver.co.uk How do I read MIME files???

You're referring to SNF? You put a 9.0-compiled binary on SNF? No
wonder it didn't work.
SNF is based on Mandrake 7.2, which is very very different from 9.0...
different compilers, different glibc, etc.
Is there an rpm for this colortail thing? If there is, send the srpm
to me and I'll build it on my 7.2 install and make it available.

Ahhh... nevermind. Just built one quick and dirty (no deps checking,
buildreq, etc.) for it. It's available on www.rpmhelp.net.
If you want the one for SNF (I don't normally build 7.x stuff anymore),
you'll have to get it from here:
ftp.rpmhelp.net/pub/7.2/colortail
