The Qt stuff is worthless in this respect, and something that lives only in your kernel sources shouldn't be used either. If you like, I have a statically-linked parted binary tarball located on ftp.kurtwerks.com:/pub/parted-bin-1.6.5.tar.gz that you're welcome to use. Because it is statically-linked, parted will run even if the proper libraries are not already installed. Kurt Thanks. I didn't know to look for uuid.h This time I installed e2fsprogs with make install-libs. uuid.h now lives happily in /usr/include/uuid/ and parted doesn't choke on a reiser system. Still, SUSE should have installed a parted and other needed stuff which would read a fs it uses by default.Thanks again. -- Ed Jabbour ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
Printing woes
Greatly modified COL 3.1, 2.4.17 kernel, CUPS 1.1.18, Canon S900 printer, Turboprint driver, USB connection. Nothing prints. First, ran mknod /dev/usb/lp0 180 0. Then, added printer to /etc/modules/default. Everything I can think of looks alright. CUPS shows the printer with no errors reported. lpc status ditto. /proc/bus/usb/devices shows the Canon. lsmod lists both printer and usbcore used by [printer usb-uhci usb-storage]. /var/log/messages has the printer properly recognized. lspci -v has the usb stuff OK. var/log/cups/error-log shows nothing untoward, I don't think.

On install attempt of libxslt 1.0.16, it failed because libxml had to be = 2.4.17. I had libxml 2.4.1. So, I installed libxml2-2.4.20. Still, libxslt stopped with the same error - it still finds libxml 2.4.1. I have the following on my system (WS 3.1): libxml-devel 2.2.10-4 libxml-devel-static 2.2.10-4 libxmlkde-devel 2.4.1-2 libxml 2.4.10-4 libxmlkde 2.4.1-2 libxml2 2.4.20-1 Should some of these be deleted? Any advice appreciated. Thanks. Ed Jabbour -- Everywhere I go I'm asked if I think the universities stifle writers.

So, just taking a wild guess, I would install a version of *libxml* = 2.4.17, not *libxml2* = 2.4.17. Thanks, but don't think there is a libxml 2.4.17. I looked at Freshmeat and elsewhere. I did find libxml-2.4.17-20020308.src.rpm, but it generates libxml2-2.4.17.tar.gz, which I already installed. Library dependencies are a real mess, or there's something basic which I just don't begin to understand. I'm sure it's the latter, but in the meantime, I'm still stuck. -- Ed Jabbour ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.

Checkinstall questions
Got checkinstall, tried it with gcombust and, after a few stumbles on my part, worked like a charm. I have 2 questions, though. 1. Checkinstall by default not only creates the rpm, it installs it. the rc file does --force --nodeps --replacepackages. I can change that, of course, but I can't find an option that would not install at all, but simply make the rpm file. There will be programs for which I don't have the necessary libs, or whatever. Running rpm -ivh would tell me that. Am I missing something very obvious here? 2. What does checkinstall do that installing an i386 rpm wouldn't? So I tell it that my architecture is i686 - what does that do, exactly? Some program may demand a lib = to some number; I have a lower one. How will I run that program after checkinstall does its --force --nodeps -- replacepackages bit? In short, how does checkinstall conform the program to my system?

Problems installing openssl
Running WS 3.1, and currently have openssl 0.9.6-12. I'm trying to install Audacity 0.98-1, and have run into dependency problems. I was doing OK, until I ran into libcrypto.so.2. Grabbed openssl-0.9.6b-16.i386.rpm and ran rpm -Uvh --test. I get a screenful of messages re: libcrypto.so.0 and libssl.so.0 being needed by cups, swat, lynx . . . . . and on and on. How do I install this w/o breaking all that other stuff? Any advice appreciated. Thanks. -- Ed Jabbour ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.

Any advice appreciated. Thanks. The short answer is you can't. Each of those long list of apps were compiled against a specific version of OpenSSL. Remove that version and they'll all break in different ways. Some might actually be ok if you fudge library versions with symlinks, but don't bet on it. WHat you'll need to do is install the new version of OpenSSL and then rebuild those apps again. I see. Is there a way to get only libcrypto.so.2, i.e., w/o installing the full OpenSSL? If not, any recommendations on a good sound editor that will work w/ stock 3.1 libs?

You do, under laws and under precedent set by those laws to a reasonable right to privacy. The doctor does _not_ have the right to disseminate that information to third parties without your consent, but this is not a consitutional protection. If the doctor gave those records to the newspapers (who say they have a right to it) and it was published, you could prosecute the doctor if he didn't have your permission. But just the doctor, not the newspaper. You have the right to own a gun, but not the right to do with it as you will. Try shooting someone on the street and see what happens. Uhhh - that's what I said - it's statutory authority that protects privacy against disclosure by ordinary citizens. My point is just that the US Constitution doesn't forbid any actions except governmental ones. Well, there is one provision of the Constitution that does, indeed, apply to private parties. Wanna guess which? I don't really want to start a reasonable right to privacy debate, because those are generally settled in court on a case-by-case basis. And what is reasonable to one judge often is not to another (and of course that changes based on the circumstances). There's no debate here = we agree.

I can't simply sieze documents belonging to you, anymore than a doctor, attorney, private company or anyone else can sieze anything that's considered a private record. Explicit permission has to be given for such, such as a release consent, or warrant, regardless of the pursuer's belonging to a government or private sector. Items of public record that are available freely are not considered to be *private* as are personal records, papers, and other things. No, you can't - but only because the legislature, or Bar Association says you can't. __Not__ because the Constitution says you can't As an employee of the Supreme Court of New Mexico, though many records are available on a public case lookup, there's specific prohibitions against me disseminating those elsewhere, even though they're public documents and I'm a private individual, let alone disseminating private information. Huh?? A public case - by which I assume you mean court records - can be gotten just by showing up the the clerk's office and requesting it. You can copy it, too - at exorbitant rates, usually. Just because an individual or company doesn't fall under the category of a government entity doesn't negate the right of an individual to be protected from the dissemination of private information. Kevin Mitnick spent a *long* time in prison for taking something he had no permission or granted right to take (source code from Nokia and Sun) and was considered a private record or effect and had no statutory prohibition, e.g. no law stating that Nokia or Sun couldn't distribute their source code without permission. Without the amendment's language there's no defining line between theft and borrowing, legal and illegal, private and public. The application of it provides equal protection, regardless of the pursuer, government or private sector, though it's been distorted sometimes to fit the situation as necessary. Kevin Mitnick broke the law - he didn't violate the Constitution. -- ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
