I have echolinux running on a 9.1 system. Exactly what errors are ocurring when you compile the gui? The most likely problem is that you did not install one of the devel libraries that are required for the compile. If you post some of the compile errors (or send them to me directly) it should not be too hard to figure out which ones are missing. > Again we have the problems of s/w written for one distro being very > difficult to get running on another. Usually not that much of a problem.

You might want to look at screen.

Re: [expert] HAM sotfware..VOIP
Hi Dan, Yes that very much proves the point. There is a vast amount of s/w that can be used, buts very its fragmented, and some was written when both Mandrake and Redhat were in their infancy. Some require ancient versions of ncurses to work, as well as some old libs. For Packet use there really is a need for an easy to configure split screen term, so that anything typed is always kept separately . Now for those wondering what I'm on about, the last thing wanted if your connected to a server which is sending you text data, and is also having text data sent to it, is for what your typing to get mixed up in an incoming message. Most of the apps we all use on this list is easily adapted for Ham amprnet use, as the protocols are the same, SMTP,POP3,NNTP. AS for IRLP there is a command line util, it compiles OK but any man page gets lost as it loads into /usr/manSlackware and suse style. I could'nt compile the GUI which is xforms based as there were so many link errors. However, I found a gui written in Perl which works , so that application is up and running. Its not Newbie friendly !!. Apologies for the waffle, just trying to explain the position Richard On Wed, 2003-10-08 at 15:13, Daniel Anderson wrote: > On Wed, 2003-10-08 at 04:57, Richard Bown wrote: > > Hi all > > I know there are a few Hams on this list as I've spotted the odd > > callsign on sig files. > > > > Applications like Echolink which which only runs on windows are getting > > very popular. > > However it cant be run on Win4Lin as no input devices are supported. > > Attempts so far to run on vmware have no been good, the codecs on winxp > > on wmware cant handle the sampling rate so playback is slower than > > normal...so unuseable. > > win98 on vmware no audio at all, trying now win2000. > > > > There are linux apps to do the same thing ie, echolinux. > > I managed to get the driver compiled, but the gui throws up many errors > > when compiling. > > > > Again we have the problems of s/w written for one distro being very > > difficult to get running on another. > > this was written in slackware , has been used on suse, but both redhat > > and mandrakes file structure differ from slackware and suse. > > Are there any hams or anyone else could help me port some of the linux > > Ham s/w to mdk compatibility and produce mdk RPMs ? > > > > TIA > > Richard G8JVM > Hi, > Wish I did know how to do this.

I've been looking for a packet terminal program to access a tnc on a serial port. Currently running Paket 62 under Dosemu. Works great, but I'd like to find a native linux program equivalent to this.
