Hi,

You could take a look at http://www.algonet.se/~peoyli/RebIRC, or..

do %http://www.algonet.se/~peoyli/RebIRC/RebIRC.r

in the REBOL console.

It's far from completed, but it is useable, and supports a couple of
CTCP commands as well (VERSION TIME PING CLIENTINFO ACTION SOURCE).

 Has anyone made a client for IRC or know the handshaking involved.  Is it
 possible to create an IRC client with REBOL?

[REBOL] Rebol for Debian Linux

2000-09-06 Thread rene_schrader-boelsche




Hi there,

I have little problems to run Rebol on my Debian Box. Rebol can not find
"libtermcap.2.so", but the lib5c and lib6c libraries are installed.
Can I solve this problem with a soft-link???

Yes, indeed. 

 # cd /lib
 # ln -s libncurses.so.5 libtermcap.2.so
 # ldconfig

Should make rebol work.

Hi Rene. No.

libtermcap is a lib for console-access (moving cursor
on different terminal..)

had the same problem on suse. was not installed by
default. they say, its nearly obsolete (or like this),
but a few programms do use it.

there is a package somewhere on the distribution on
suse, (if i know what you search..). debian should
have it too.

[REBOL] rebol on the cheap Re:(3)

2000-09-06 Thread ryanc

Hey Ryan,
no prob, but I am no expert either--I probably dont even clear amatuer level when
it comes to unix style OS's.

The more I think about it, you should not have to this to often since the proper
soft links normally exist when you install a system the regular way.  But as a
just in case measure, I will run you through it.

These library files work like windows dll's (from my hardly amatuer perspective
anyhow).  They also appear to be backward compatable to an extent.

To find out which libraries a program such as REBOL requires, just use the ldd
command.  ldd is found in or around gcc.  If ldd says you are missing a required
lib, it maybe that you can soft link it to a slightly newer lib.

Here is an example from posting 337301, "[REBOL] Rebol for Debian Linux Re:":

 # cd /lib
 # ln -s libncurses.so.5 libtermcap.2.so
 # ldconfig

Here REBOL expected libtermcap.2.so, yet libmcurses.so.5 happen to be a worthy
subsititute. So a soft link for libtermcap.2.so was created pointing to
libmcurses.so.5.

your doing the right thing:

  found: find directory filename

[REBOL] rebol on the cheap

2000-09-06 Thread RChristiansen

Has anyone used REBOL with Monkey Linux?

ftp://ftp.spsselib.hiedu.cz/pub/linux/monkey/docs/english.htm

I haven't a clue how to install Linux, but I'm going to give this one a go. Can 
anyone look at this site for me and tell me which REBOL binary I need for 
this Linux distro? Like I said, I haven't a clue.

I'm looking for a way to run REBOL on a Dell Latitude 433MC with a 486/33 
and 8MB RAM. I read in a post somewhere on the Web that someone had 
successfully installed Monkey Linux on this laptop (minus X-Windows.)

Currently, I have OS/2 installed on this machine and it runs famously (there 
is even support for the laptop's power management functions.) Unfortunately, 
there is no REBOL distribution for OS/2. Thus my reasons for checking out 
alternatives (my 68k PowerBook died on me a long time ago - bad power 
supply.)

If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm a cheap *ss when it comes to computers. 
I bought this Dell laptop for a whopping $25.
