[newbie] Gabber and libglade
I've been using Gabber 0.8.2 on LM8 for a while now and a new version 0.8.3 just came out (no mdk versions yet). I keep getting reminders every time I start Gabber so I decided to get the update. I download the source rpm and do rpm --rebuild gabber_0.9.3.src.rpm and it gives me an error that the libglade library >.11 is not found and it doesn't compile. If I do a "locate glade" i get several files listed including libglade0.13.so. This should be what is needed I think. Why doesn't it compile. Anyone else tried this?

RE: [newbie] forwarding
Install sshd on the firewall box. Login to the firewall box using ssh client and setup a tunnel from localhost:5900 to winboxip:5900. Startup VNCviewer to localhost:5900 Or if you want a less secure way to do it (not recommended) add this to your firewall script ipmasqadm portfw -L xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 5900 -R xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 5900 Then run VNCviewer to yourfirewallhost:5900 Note that your password will be sent in the clear.

However, you must take into account the chipset thing. Okay, you've had bad experiences with VIA chipsets, that much is understood. But that does not mean *every* motherboard with a VIA chipset is going to give problems. My primary machine has a Tyan S1854 mobo with a VIA chipset (the "Apollo" set, IIRC), and I've also used mobos with other VIA chipsets in the past. I can't recall ever having a problem due to either the motherboard or its chipset. This proves only that your particular motherboard, with its particular chipset, gives trouble when running your particular hardware configuration under the version(s) of Linux you've tried. Your detailed description of the problems you have had are informative and helpful to the rest of us -- but please don't exaggerate the extent of the problem by saying things like "they always have problems" when referring to any vendor's entire line. -- Walter Luffman, [EMAIL PROTECTED]Medina, TN USA Diabetics are just sweet people (Type 2 5/99, d/e/m/motorcycle) "Sage", purple 1998 Honda VT1100C Shadow Spirit
RE: [newbie] Linux programming languages
The answer is quit simple. The Linux kernel is written in C. Also, most of the GNU utilities are written in C. The choice of which language to use is really a matter of the intended application requirements. For speed and small size, C is best. For scripting and GUI based applications, Perl or Python are good choices. One nice thing about using Perl or Python is that the application does not have to be recompiled for each target platform as it does with C or C++. If you are interested in learning to program, the choice of language depends on what you want to do. If you want to work on system level code, then learn C. If you want to write utilities or GUI based applications that are not speed critical, then learn Perl and/or Python. -Original Message- From: stevel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 16, 2001 10:33 AM To: linux mailing list Subject: [newbie] Linux programming languages What language is used by most linux programmers?

I'm still relatively new at Linux (1 month) but I started out with LM 6.0. I recently ran the update program and it updated some stuff like Netscape, init-scripts, etc. Previously I could telnet and ftp to my linux box. Now I cannot seem to telnet or ftp to my linux machine from my windows box or from the internet. However, I am able to ping from both. I just get a message that it cannot connect to host.
