[newbie] Apache
I have downloaded apache 2.0.35 but can't understand the install instructions. I get to the point where I'm supposed to run the ./configure command. I run the command, but the last two lines of the output show: configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH configure failed for srclib/apr Then when I try to run the make command, I get the error message: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. Anybody got an idea? Thanks in advance Greg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] NVIDIA RPMs
Thanks for the info, but alas, I've obviously done something horribly wrong somewhere. When I typed glxinfo into a terminal, there is nothing but zeros and it says extension GLX missing on display :0.0 When I typed /sbin/lsmod into a terminal, the NVdriver was nowhere to be seen. Then I typed modprobe NVdriver into the terminal. Nothing happened. I tried tuxracer and it wouldn't start. I looked at the /etc/modules.conf file and the alias you suggested is already showing there.\ Any other ideas? I do appreciate the help.

If no NVdriver in lsmod, as root type: modprobe NVdriverand try out tuxracer. If it works, then fix the alias in /etc/modules.conf to read: alias /dev/nvidia* NVdriver we'll just take it from there, if that don't fix you up, come on back. -s Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Video Problem (I think)
Title: Message I installed Mandrake 8.1 using the recommended settings. Install went al the way through without a hickup. It asked me to remove the boot media and restart. I removed the CD and restarted the machine. The boot sequence went all the way to the gray criss-cross screen with the "X" cursor. Just before the login screen popped up, the screen went black and started flashing a white line across the screen near the top. The green light on the monitor started to flash as if it was loosing signal, then gaining signal, then loosing signal, over and over. After about 5 minutes a non-GUI Linux screen came up and had this message: INIT: Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes Then in 5 minutes the screen started to flash again and the whole process started again. It didn't look good so I shut downand tried to boot again. Same thing. Please, does anybody have an idea on what could be causing this?
[newbie] Mounting CD Burner
I have two CDs in my computer. One of them mounts automatically on boot, but I would like to get my burner to mount as well. How can I do this so I can use Grip, and what should I put in the fstab file to get it to mount automatically? Any ideas?? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] fstab problem
I have successfully configured the fstab file to mount the vfat partitions that are elswhere on the hard drive, but I can't get the ntfs partition to mount at boot. Below are the lines I am using in fstab to mount the partitions on boot. The vfat partitions mount automatically, but the ntfs partition won't. I have double-checked and the mount points are correct as I can mount the ntfs partition manually after boot up using these options. /dev/hda1 /Win98 vfat umask=0,quiet 0 0 /dev/hda6 /Dnld vfat umask=0,quiet 0 0 /dev/hda5 /Win2K ntfs umask=0,quiet 0 0 Anybody got an idea?

Re: [newbie] Sound from a VMWare workstation
Thanks for the suggestions, but I've tried that. When I move the volume slider up and down or the balance slider side to side, all I hear is some scratching sounds. Weird. Any other ideas?

[newbie] Error during Install
I have a Dell PC with a PII-333 processor, 384MB RAM, an on-board ATI Rage 3D video card and two 10GB hard drives. Windows 2000 Pro is installed on a partition on the first hard drive and I'm trying to install Mandrake 8.1 on the second hard drive. I chose the auto allocate fuction in the partition section during install. Everything goes fine until it tries to configure X when the following message pops up. Can't call method set_active on an undefined value. There is an OK button available to click on, but no matter how many times I click the OK button, the screen cycles back to this same message. My only option at this point is to manually re-boot the machine. After re-boot, the machine starts in console mode. When I try to startx it won't start. Please help. I'm new.
