[newbie] xmms et netscape 7.0

[Rooms Frederic]

Hello,

When I surf on the internet with netscape 7.0 and use at the same time 
Xmms, my browser freezes: the page is not downloaded. I have to stop to 
play music (I don't even need to quit Xmms) and it works fine. Has 
anyone the same problem or a clue to solve this problem ?

Thank you,

Fred

[newbie] GNU readline library

[Rooms Frederic]

Hello,

I'm trying to compile the rlterm program working with the GNU readline 
libraries. As a real newbie in compiling issue, I don't understand the 
the problem which is happening. I have got the GNU readline 4.3 package 
installed on my computer. Rlterm requires libreadline.a which doesn't 
seem to exist for Mandrake. Is it however necessary to have this 
particular file or is possible to replace the libreadline.a library with 
one of the GNU readline package ? If anyone has an idea, I would greatly 
appreciate.

I join the Makefile program.

thanks a lot,

Fred

# replace this with the directory containing libreadline.a
#   or blank if libreadline.a is visible to your compiler
LIBDIR = -L/home/munro/readline-2.0

# The following switches may be necessary in order for rlterm.c to
# find termio and signal headers on your system:
#   -DUSE_TERMIOS  to use termios.h (otherwise termio.h)
#   -DUSE_SYS_TERMIO   to use sys/termio.h or sys/termios.h
#   -DPOSIX_TERMIO to use tc.etattr instead of ioctl (implies 
USE_TERMIOS)
#   -DNO_SIGACTION if no sigaction or it doesn't take SA_NOCLDSTOP flag
RLDEFS =

LIBS = -lreadline -ltermcap
ALLFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(DEFS) $(RLDEFS)

rlterm: rlterm.c
$(CC) $(ALLFLAGS) rlterm.c ${LIBDIR} ${LIBS} -o rlterm

clean::
rm -f rlterm *~

[newbie] libaudiofile.so.0 missing

[Rooms Frederic]

Hello,

I have just installed my soundcard. DrakConf automatically detected the 
sound card. However when I try to launch noatun (which I supposed to be 
the kde media player) I get the following message:

noatun: error while loading shared libraries: libaudiofile.so.0: cannot 
load shared object file: No such file or directory

although such library (and the devel package) is installed in the 
/usr/lib directory.

Does anyone have an idea to solve the problem ?

Thank you,

Fred

[newbie] conditionnal test in bashrc

[Rooms Frederic]

Hi,

I'd like to mount automatically a samba account when I log in a graphic 
session. Up to now, I have modified the bashrc file so that it logs in. 
Unfortunately, it mounts my account each time I run a new terminal which 
is annoying as it takes two seconds. Therefore, I would like to test if 
my connection is active or not. If I was not connected then I'd like to 
connect. Is it possible ?

The conditionnal test would be:

if disconnected then
smbmount
end

Do you have an idea to realize this test ?

Thank you,

Frédéric

 can't get me!  I have the best of both worlds.
 
 A little expensive, but us lazy guys have to go the distance.
 
 When I get free, what do I do with the other two boxes?
