Porting from unix to linux
Hi all It has been four days that I try to port a C program that runs perfectly on SGI station (MIPS R12000 processor) to Linux (RH7.1 on dual PIII box). Since I failed to find the answer (to the question following) on the net, and before starting reading the code(about 900 lines), I decided to try this forum. If you think it's offtopic or annoying, please ingnore this message Well, the problem is: I'm porting a program that runs perfecly on SGI station (R12000 processor). I've copied all the sources, headers, custom libraries (there were two of them) and the Makefile. There were some troubles with pointer initiations, but I managed to overcome them. In some point, when main() calls a function called search(...) which is in search.c file, the program crushes upon the first line. Electric Fence (with all possible options) did not found any problem before search() is called. It's worth to note that the entire program has only one malloc and no free(). Some more details: Compiler used on R1200: MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.2.1 On linux : gcc version 2.96 2731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-81) with -ggdb option and no optimization Here is the output of the core examination by gdb (the binary compiled by cc with -ggdb flag).

Re: Porting from unix to linux
Sorry, just forgotten one thing: deleting the call to the function in main() solves the crush problem, but since this is the key function inthe whole program this is not an option = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[SUMMARY]:book recomendation needed
Hi and thanks all the responders. This is the summary of the answers "Pinchas Rosenfeld" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >"Red Hat Linux: The Complete Reference" by R. peterson is a >fine book ... My Favorite is: "Using Red Hat Linux" (Get the Newest edition), the newest edition is RH6.2 special edition. I think I prefer newer one, thow you may buy a used book for $6.06 (on amazon.com) Shaul Karl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >1) My experience is that www.bookpool.com will turned out cheaper.

In addition, I don't have access to large-scale printer. I think, LDP is fine for look-really-in-depth into specific topic >(3) Just curious, what have you bought for C++?

Browser pool
Hi all. I'm making a short pool regarding browsers used among Linux people (a friend of mine build a web-site and he wants that anyone will be able to read it) All I ask you to do is to send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a word "pool" in the subject and the name of the browser in the body. If you use more than one browser, write them in order of significance from the most used to the less used (one in each line). If someone is interested, I can publish the results on this list. Thanks a lot = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

envirament troubles
I'm trying to install QT-2.3.1 on RH7.1. I have /usr/local/qt-2.3.1 directory and a symlink /usr/local/qt pointing to it for some reason when I login as root and execute env command, I get QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-2.3.0. This prevents me from running ./configure The error message is The environment variable $QTDIR is not set correctly. It is currently set to "/usr/lib/qt-2.3.0", but it should be set to this directory, which is "/usr/local/qt". The problem is that I can't find a file that declare this variable. Any ideas? P.S if this matters, I use bash shell, and yes, I've checked ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: problems with partrition table

Before working on the raw device, I though it would be a good idea to know what I'm doing. Googling for ["magic numbers" ext3 fdisk] leads to zillions mailing list archives, so if anyone can point me to a resource which has more or less comprehensive explanations, I'll be glad to hear. What I uderstand from Oron's answer is that some number marks the start and the end of a prartition, so by knowing in which blocks they appear, one can reconstruct the partition table.
