Another good reference, especially for the art of good OO Design
practices, is Jesse Liberty's "C++ for Linux in 21 Days" --- while
Stroustrup is essentially for understanding C++ per-se, it doesn't
hurt to have a good desk reference that describes the particular
system you are using with RH.

And I'm not just saying this because, as the tech reviewer, I tortured
Jesse until his 21-day guide swelled to 28 days ;)

As for libraries, a very promising candidate is the CommonC++ which
is now available through www.gnu.org

Do you want to do this across all filesystem types?  Or just for ext2
only?  If your intent is to change the behaviour of unlink() to move a
file to a garbage area and later empty the garbage, you need to consider
a lot of things about how this should work.

1.  How will you empty the garbage?

2.  What do you want unlink() to do is it is a file with multiple links?

With ldconfig you can change libraries around and use a different one.
Is that how you are intending to replace unlink()?

The instructions are usually at the end of the file .c ( is the name
of the driver). See if a makefile came on the disk. The instructions for
compiling and installing the driver as a module are in the source code or the
makefile, at least they were on the D-Link DFE-530TX+ I recently bought. The
driver might also already be in your kernel you can either build it as a
module or rebuild your kernel.

If you put the name of a shared library in the environment variable
LD_PRELOAD then it is loaded after all the libraries that a program
requires and can override functions in those libraries. That wouldn't
work for statically linked programs or those that call system calls
directly.

Doesn't the intel i960 use the 82557/8 chipset still?  I haven't tried it
yet, but I think it would be worth a try.

Subject: phentzise error?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am trying to build an Apache module that gives this error
when loading:

(redhat) /shane/one1/bin% ./apachectl start
Syntax error on line 219 of /shane/one1/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /shane/one1/libexec/mod_ibm_mt.so into server: 
/shane/one1/libexec/mod_ibm_mt.so: ELF file's phentsize not the expected size
./apachectl start: httpd could not be started
Line 219 is just the LoadModule line..so not a syntax error.

I built both Apache and this module on the same machine
using gcc-2.7.2.3-14

Does anyone have any ideas as why this might be happening?

(redhat) ~/apache-1.3/src/modules/extra% uname -a
Linux redhat.raleigh.ibm.com 2.0.36 #1 Tue Oct 13 22:17:11 EDT 1998 i686 unknown

PS I know there is not a problem with the Module as if I build it into the
Apache core ( statically ) it works like a charm. Also the Apache code
that gives this error is only doing an dlopen on the library...so I am
at a lost as to the error.

Thanks 
Shane

I believe it is.  When I worked for the AUIS consortium, I remember
lobbying until I secured permission to distribute it.

I don't believe anyone has ever gotten it working under Linux.  I
don't think it's worked on a more than 1-bit-per-pixel display since
the very early days.

The big thing *I* liked about it was that its network protocol was so
lean.  It ran acceptably over 9600bps SLIP connections, back in the
days before VJ header compression existed (I was using a network of
Sun2 workstations at home in those days, so this was noticable and
appreciated).
