I have RH 6.2 and upgraded 2.91.66 with 2.95.3.
That fixed the problem with ostringstream and ifstream but I've not used
it much yet.
As that problem was resolved by upgrading the compiler, I didn't install
the copy of STLport that I downloaded.
I don't understand how it interacts with the two compilers that I now
have installed and don't want to break what doesn't need fixing !
If you upgrade to RH 7.1, does that get you a safe compiler ? Do you
nave any reason to stick with 7.0 ?
Cheers, J/.

Yes, I did read that one and found the most helpful info there. Thanks a
lot for the information provided. However, it doesn't mention RedHat 6.2 so
I just hoped RH had included some patches of their own. However, it seem
not to be the case. :-(

Unfortunately this is (at this stage) not possible since this is one of
our main developers' machine that a lot of people rely on.
It seems that I will have to exclude LFS on Linux for the time being :-(
since we can't force the customers to run latest and the best Linux distro
(with kernel 2.4.x and glibc-2.2).
Thanks a lot to all answers.

Hello,
On Linux how do we implement a new protocol which is required to work in
parallel to other protocols eg TCP/IP etc.This protocol is to be
implemented just above the ethernet MAC layer.
Thanks in advance,

You'll find all you need at one of the portals dedicated to embedded Linux:
http://www.linuxembedded.org/
or
http://www.embedlinux.net/
There are probably more portals than these, though.

Hi,
I'm looking for some toolkit or working enviroment for
device drivers development under Linux.
I mean compiler, debugger and tools related to drivers stuff.
Can anybody recomend such toolkit , free or comercial ?
Thank you.

Hi,
IMHO problems aren't as big anymore as they were, say, a year ago.

Regarding Video cards, I would neither buy a new ATI card as their
driver support for linux leaks, nor any clone of a well known card.
You should have a look at the websites of big distributors like RedHat
oder SuSE, who both have compatibility databases online.

Christian

The reason is that the VFAT filesystem does not have inodes at all.
The inumbers are only allocated by the Linux VFAT driver (actually
by the underlying FAT driver) when they are first needed by the VFS
(yes, VFS needs the inumbers).
Since the inumbers are never stored on disc, chances are high that
they will get allocated in another order after a re-mount, as you
have observed.
Changing this behaviour would be a non-trivial task, to put it mildly.

I'm afraid you'll have to live with that :-(

2.0.36, but that could change if 2.2 solves the problem.

Uh, oh. Does that mean that it takes a special CD-ROM reader to do this?
Which one _should_ I have bought?

Thanks for the hint. I will RTFM.

Subject: listing symbols in a dynamic library
Date: Sat, 08 May 1999 22:50:57 GMT
Is there a way to get a list of the symbols found in a dynamic
library that has been opened with dlopen()? Might there be some
reserved symbols that references a structure with all the symbols?
The reason I want to get the list is so that my program can add
the symbols to a menu of options that the user can choose from.
For example, suppose I have a program that prepares graphical
images, and I want to support pluggable export filters implemented
as functions named "export__". The range of
values for would be known in advance, but not the range
of values for . What the program might do is for each
such name found, lookup "export__get_menu_desc" and
call it to get back a string to fill in on the pop-up menu.
I don't want to have to require every different pluggable to be
a different library. But if there is no solution to get the list
of names, then I guess that would be the common practice (do you
know if that indeed is the common practice?).

I use a tulip card with no problems at all. However, I've noted that
there are tons of different tulip cards, each with subtle differences.
My particular card is sensitive to the version of the driver. With
the latest 2.0.37-pre?? kernels, the included driver works fine. With
the 2.2.x kernels, I have to install a different one from:
http://www.bmen.tulane.edu/~siekas/driver.html
Interestingly, 2.0.37-pre?? has a newer version of tulip.c than 2.2.6
(I haven't check 2.2.7). I would suggest trying several versions of
the driver before giving up on the card, especially if it works under
2.0 but not 2.2. You might even be able to use the 2.0 driver under
2.2--I'm not sure if there are any complications in doing so.

minor detail: I need a good PCI card, not ISA. 10/100 would be great,
but at least a clean 10 over PCI is minimal.
