Re: [luau] Font Suggestions
I think you might find ttmkfdir useful. It's like mkfontdir for truetype fonts. I have used an older version, and I don't know how well it's being maintained. It's now available at http://freshmeat.net/redir/ttmkfdir/10789/url_tgz/ttmkfdir.tar.gz . I believe ttmkfdir comes with freetype2, now. --Ray
Re: [luau] Linksys and Red Hat (Not)
Tulip, which was initially developed by NASA, is an open-source project. As such, it is incumbent upon the due diligence of each distro to make sure that it can properly detect the various modifications thereof. The tulip driver is actually maintained as it's own project (http://tulip.sourceforge.net I think), and also by the kernel maintainers. Of course many distributions have people working on the kernel and possibly the tulip driver, but it's more a function of the linux kernel, which is largely the same across all distributions (it's what makes them Linux). --MonMotha
[luau] Linksys and Red Hat (Not)
Hi, Warren and Mon- I apologize that I probably made it more complicated than it had to be. The issue is not the tulip driver, but hardware detection of NIC cards using tulip chipset. As Mon mentioned, the tulip driver for the Linksys NIC chipset, which was correctly identified by Mandrake as well as most other distros, comes with the kernel itself. I didn't have any problem making the Linksys card work with Red Hat Limbo or 7.3. All you need to do is making sure that the modules.conf file has a correct statement "alias eth0 tulip". I just don't know how to do this graphically in Red Hat. The reason I particularly mentioned the Linksys cards is that, with rebate, etc., you can often get them free at CompUSA.

That may be true that Flash5 exists within the Netscape Plugin but for some reason my daughter goes to zoogdisney.com and it always states that the Flash5 has to be downloaded. I did exactly what the instructions stated to do and still doesnt recognize the Flash5 as a plugin for the Netscape. Unfortunately shes become a Bill Gates fan simply because Uncle Bill allows her to play zoogdisney. How can I argue my way out of that?!

[luau] Oracle Pro C on Linux
You were right about my gcc not being liked by the Oracle compiler. I found out that the compiler is only compatible with gcc 2.95 & my RH 7.3 install came with gcc 2.96 So I copied the gcc 2.95.3 files from another RH computer and put them under /usr/local/ on my computer. I also put the /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3 path in PATH. However now I get an error ld: cannot open crtbeginS.o: No such file or directory crtbeginS.o does exist in the /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3 directory so why the hell does it not find it?? Also the locate command cannot seem to find any of the gcc files that I copied from the other RH computer I'm drowning in gcc hell. Can somebody please tell me what I need to do to get past this problem? I did also try to put /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3 in LD_LIBRARY_PATH without any luck MonMotha wrote: > Ray Strode wrote: > >>> >>> >>> I have installed Oracle Pro C/C++ 8.1.7 on RH 7.3.

Who said anything about reinstalling? Just keep your old kernel in lilo (and a bootdisk in case you mess lilo up) and you can boot your old, working kernel if you mess up. --MonMotha Dan George wrote: Its gets frustrating having to reinstall over and over again.

You can not copy gcc from /usr to /usr/local. When gcc was built, it is given the prefix directory. gcc will then use this prefix directory to find things like libgcc*.a and crt*.o.

RE: [luau] Hello
A quick search for UNIX on SAIC's public page shows 16 openings in Hawaii.
I didn't look them over that well but I noticed a couple of the jobs. The
PASS-K jobs ask for "maintain level 3 Korean language proficiency ". That
isn't exactly a requirement, but you would need a TS clearance and it is a
pure SUN helpdesk job. Most of the jobs are multi OS positions and require
a clearance. Actually I think I wasted my time sending this link. Oh well
I typed it so im going to send it. If they want you sometimes they will
hire you and start the process of getting your clearance.

Re: FW: [luau] Oracle Pro C on Linux & gcc
I think I missed part of this thread, but i'll see if I can help. install came with gcc 2.96 So I copied the gcc 2.95.3 files from another RH computer and put them under /usr/local/ on my computer. I also put the /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3 path in PATH.

The gcc in /usr/local/bin will find the correct gcc-lib directory (if it was installed correctly). Why does the locate command not find any gcc files that I have installed? It's possible your slocate database isn't up to date. run "updatedb". crtbeginS.o does exist in the /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3 directory so why the hell does it not find it?? Probably because the gcc you are using is /usr/bin/gcc. Which looks in /usr/lib/gcc-lib for the support files.

You can probably change the makefile, but I dont' think you'll need to, if GCC_EXEC_PREFIX is set to the right directory. Just out of curiosity, what's wrong with using gcc 2.96?

How can I argue my way out of that?! CodeWeavers Crossover Plugin is your only way out of this. $25 product runs many Windows plugins and Windows software including Flash 6, Shockwave, Quicktime, Windows Media Player, Adobe Acrobat Reader and AOL Instant Messenger. http://www.codeweavers.com/home/ I highly recommend this product. After you buy it, you even have the rights to download a newer version as they are released for the next (I think) 6 months. So far they've really delivered on their promise of better newer versions. Their web page for the product tells you what works and what doesn't. You can try the free download demo too.

Re: [luau] Linksys and Red Hat (Not)
The odd version kernel series is used for development, while the even versions are "stable". development kernels will often eat your data, so if you dabble with the 2.5.x series make sure you don't have any important data, and keep backups. Otherwise the 2.5.x version is very cool to try and see what new features are coming for 2.6.x. The feature freeze for 2.5.x is October 31st later this year, so it sounds like we will have 2.6.x early 2003. On Tue, 2002-08-13 at 20:28, Dan George wrote: > Thats true.
