RE: Compiling source, was RE: [newbie] Make errors
I do have the xpm-devel package installed. So in theory... I never let data get in the way of a good theory! Actually I tried to install LM 7.0 but was never sucessful. For some reason after rebooting when DrakX finished, the keyboard and mouse would get frozen and I could never logon. I suspect a hardware problem (Gateway Solo P3C laptop, P120, 40Mb) but it isn't severe enough to break a RH install. Any idea how to find out where the install is looking for the X_LIBS. env doesn't offer any clues? Any other ideas? -P -Original Message- From: Necrotica To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 6/14/00 7:49 PM Subject: RE: Compiling source, was RE: [newbie] Make errors Do you have the devel packages installed for both?

The main thing is upgrading libstdc++ - thats what is causing your compiler to tell you that it cannot compile an executable. -Chris On Wed, 14 Jun 2000, Kaplan, Paul wrote: N- You seem quite knowledgeable about the rebuilding process so I will put to you a question that I asked on one of the redhat lists and has yet to be answered.

RE: Compiling source, was RE: [newbie] Make errors
Thanks, I tried the longer path definition to no avail. I'll admit, I'm using Redhat 6.0, not a Mandrake distro. There is no /usr/X386 directory. The wine configure.in file has an entry that is clearly where configure trips... dnl *** Check for -lXpm AC_CHECK_HEADERS(X11/xpm.h) [ dnl *** If X11/xpm.h exists... AC_CHECK_LIB(Xpm, XpmCreatePixmapFromData, [ AC_DEFINE(HAVE_LIBXXPM) X_PRE_LIBS="$X_PRE_LIBS -lXpm"],, $X_LIBS -lXext -lXpm -lX11 $X_EXTRA_LIBS ) ], and then the text of the error that prints when configure chokes on me. It seems that $X_LIBS can't be found. How do I identify what the current state is? Env offers no clue.

[newbie] RE: LM 7.0 installation problem
Ryan, Thanks for your kind words of support. You say you are using Mandrake 7. Does that mean you were able to get it (or part of it) installed? What was the source of the floppy and/or text images were you using, and what were their creation dates? As an aside, rather than hitting Ctrl-C, try Alt-F2 or Alt-F3 to see what is going on on the other consoles. The install runs under Alt-F1, but you might get some useful output on other consoles. ...Still waiting for some help from the folks at LM...I bought the powerpack version of LM7 and registered, but they don't seem to respond to queries at their help desk.

I am having a very similar problem to you Paul. I have tried using the floppy images and the text images. I get through finding the Mandrake directory on my hard drive and then it just goes blank pretty much. I let it run for about 30 mins just to see if it was trying to gather information but the screen juststayed blank. When I hit Ctrl-C I get a kernel fault and then the messages says kernel died abnormally. Has anyone else had these problmes? And has anyone else found a way to correct them?

[newbie] LM7 installation woes, continued
OK. So I've searched various help resources to find out why I can't use the hd.img or txt_boot.img file on the mandrake_70-2 CD files to install LM 7.0 from my local hard drive. Only got two responses. Neither led to a solution. Since there seems to be an error in the *img files, does anyone know a way to de-compile these files and then recompile them? While you're at it, any idea what I'd look for in the source to see why the img files refuse to see my hard drive? Also, how come queries to mandrake installation tech support go unanswered even to registered users? TIA Paul Kaplan

Every second time that I reboot, the Mouse becomes the Keyboard and vice versa. In other words, when I move the mouse it's interpreted as keystrokes and vice versa making it impossible to login for obvious reasons. 2. When #1 isn't happening, I'm able to login. I start up in KDE and evrything seems alright except that none of the devices mount or dismount properly and after a while everything just freezes up and it becomes impossible to shut down correctly forcing me to have to reinstall the whole OS. I've gone through this cycle about ten times. All of my hardware is supported by Linux-Mandrake and I have been following the install procedure word for word. If you can shed any light, it would be greatly appreciated.
[newbie] Redhat to Mandrake
I have installed Redhat 6, but recently discovered the Mandrake distribution. I noticed that Mandrake distributed rpms are compiled for a 586 processor rather than a 386. Is it possible to upgrade an installed RH *.i386.rpm with the equivalent Mandrake *.i586.rpm file? Can this be done through GNOrpm or kpackage or must it be done at the command line with rpm -Uvh?
