[newbie] mozilla and core files
I've found core files in my home directory. I didn't know what they were, so I remove them. After that, mozilla was in big trouble and crashes when I would like to send mails, open the adress book, save a page, save an image... I've rebuild the rpm and it works fine now. Was it link to thes core files ? Furthermore, I found that the mail command does't work anymore. what's wrong ? Any ideas ? thx Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Need advise on text editors for programming
Vi is not so limited... You can try emacs but I'm not very satisfied with the php-mode, particularly when I write scripts in a .html file... I use now bluefish. The gui is very nice and there are a lot of functions to manage web programming.

I would really like something with regexp, syntax color, automatic indenting, able to open several files at once. Either graphic or text based. Now working with vi (I like its regexp search and replace) but I hate its limited copy-cut-paste capabilities. I work with Ultraedit under Windowz. Something like it for Linux will do it.

Re: [newbie] grip
First of all, I would like to thank you for all the time you spend to help me. Then the libghttp1-devel was required in order to rebuilt the rpm. Therefore, I installed all gnome libs and the window-manager. Then, the reinstallation of the rpm seemed to be successfull. But the problem remains. It's strange. It's a shame, but as cddb is now working, it could be worse ... John Richard Smith wrote: Is this a gnome desktop you are working on, because mine is full kde, with xWindows and the lot. I am also surprized you needed additional libraries, but then maybe, I ought not to be, it occures to me that I have the full OS including many developement packages, though not all , and maybe I have some dependency library installed already that you require to make the help file be meaningfull. I must say all these dependency problems in linux are tiresome, if they are needed , why not include them in the main download , saves time and trouble. There has got to be some reason why you don't get the helpfile, and I and others do. The difference must be either the choice of OS interface or some package or other that you have missing. Check out http://www.nostatic.org/grip/ I see mention of something called libghttp that sounds like a possible library help file try putting up package manager and doing a search to see if you have it. if not download and install it and see what it does. A search of my OS reveals a certain libghttp1-devel V1.0.9-4mdk. I'm guessing but I would not be supprised if you don't have it installed, and it has to be on our CD's somewhere for me to have it installed. In short , the problem now seems either to be the interface, which I would not rule out , since manuals, at least good ones,John are a judicious balance between words and pictures , maybe your desktop interface lacks something, but first off we need to find out if you have every possible app package installed. Unfortuneatly linux is a bit of a headache for newbies as far as dependencies go. we do not understand the relationships very well, and the way things are put together it can offten be baffelling try to find out.

Re: [newbie] mplayer
Dear Stephen I have all done propoerly and it works well, with a nice GUI. I really thank you. Furthermore, it's the 1st soft I install after compiling it by my own, and it's really great. I totally agree with you when you say that Properly depends on the person and I think I'll compile often now instead of download rpm :-)) Florian Stephen Kuhn wrote: On Tue, 2002-12-03 at 07:47, villoing wrote: by source code, you mean the .src.rpm files ? in this case, I've mplayer-0.90pre10-1.src.rpm, mplayer-skin-1.0-2.src.rpm, mplayer-font-1.0-1.src.rpm and when I try to install these files : rpm -ivh mplayer-0.90pre10-1.src.rpm mplayer-font-1.0-1.src.rpm mplayer-skin-1.0-2.src.rpm 1:mplayer### [100%] 2:mplayer-font ### [100%] 3:mplayer-skin ### [100%] the installation seems to be successfull but when I uncomment in the config file skin = default, mplayer is unable to lauch.

I downloaded all the source code files, unpacked them in my /usr/src/ directory, and for each, did the ./compile make make install - that way, I didn't get CPU issues... Properly depends on the person - I tend to not depend on the RPMS all the time unless it's a huge suite (KDE for instance) - so when I install a program on my system, I know for a fact that all the dependencies are correctly installed and statically linked, the program binaries themselves are compile for MY system and not a generic distro or kernel...which causes me less grief in the end - and gives me better performance - especially with multimedia packages...ain't nothing worse than jumpy or erratic playback of DVD, AVI, MPG, DiVX and the likes...and even less worry about skinning my apps...

The only app I know which will play it streaming is Windows Media Player. But do not despair. go to www.codeweavers.com and you can download Crossover plugin which allows you to run Windows media player 6.5 The bad news is that the demo version is free, but the full version is not. The alternative is try to set up Wine to run WMP, which is possible, but not easy. For other streaming media sources there is RealPlayer8 for Linux, buried very deep on the Real.com site.
