Any suggestions appreciated.
You need to install follow RPM packages at lease you want to
run MySQL server.
mysql
mysql-server
And install mysql-devel and mysqlclient9 for more usage.

Re: SRPMS
The rpms that are architechture independent have noarch somewhere in their names. Compilers are in charge of matching your source with the actual architecture you have, so you do not necessarilly have to learn architecture specific code, and you achieve high portability. But, some processes are better performed if you make routines in machine language and use the best capabilities of your hardware, and if you use them, then your programs become hardware dependent. A good example is Linux itself. It exploits the characteristics of 32 bit processors, but it wont work in 8 or 16 bit processors. So Linux for INTEL is dependent on the processor family.

Re: Redhat Transition issue
Hi, Transistions can be a pain. If you write your own software you really need one system to install, fix recompile, and debug until it works. Somethings like corelword perfect you can get to work by loading the c library that came with 6.2 on your computer along with 7.2. I know it is not fun even if everything moves gracefully it is a pain to have to check every function ect to make sure it works. One of the advantages of doing it yourself is you get controll one of the disadvantages is you have to create the fixes if the underlying componets change. Sometimes there is no other option than late nights and hardwork. Developer lists for software that interacts with your private software and documentation from change logs should make it easier to figure out what you need to change.

RE: confuse with errata to rpm nicely
2512588Kb(Pensacola 4 disks) x3,4,6,12 times a year still seems like that little bitty 46900Kb is a bargan to me. About all you really save is that 468000Kb gets a bit smaller. Oh and I am no expert on how to make a custom distro the first time I looked into it was in Late January. If you can mount an iso, rm, mv, edit 1 file comps and run the command # genhdlist --withnumbers /location/of/disc1 /location/of/disc2 you can make a custom distro that works great. You will need to use 700mb discs though as the patches boost the size of the iso files. If you don't want to burn the additional cds just copy the contents of the RPMS directory from disc2 to disc1. Share that directory. Then you can use the boot floppy or original 7.2 boot CD and do a network install from http, nfs, or ftp. -Original Message- From: Ed Wilts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 08, 2002 1:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: confuse with errata to rpm nicely On Fri, Mar 08, 2002 at 12:53:28PM -0500, Paul Hamm wrote: Like I said grab the iso files grab all the patches and roll your own.

RE: Automatically configure ulimit
Ben: I'm trying to increase the number of open files with ulimit -n , this operation requires super user privilege. Here is what I've found out so far. It seems that modifying either /etc/profile or /etc/bashrc will not work for my purpose since this runs under the user's UID. Another option would of been allowing a su for /bin/ulimit by modifying /etc/sudoers, unfortunately ulimit is built in to /bin/bash so this is not a possibility for me. I did find one hack that mentioned that you had to replace init with a different version. see /usr/share/emacs/20.7/etc/ulimit.hack for details, this hack modifies the size of the files not the number of files. So this hack will not work for me. I'm thinking that maybe recompiling the kernel or bash would also do the trick. Another option is possibly modifying the settings via /proc file system, do not know where to start on this one. A third option is using inittab to launch a script that sets the desired ulimit and then fires off migetty, or set this in ssh somehow; all the user sessions will be via ssh.

How to modify evironment variables in a C program

How do I export a change to an environment variable made in a C program?
I tried setenv() and putenv(), but the change is not visible to the shell.
// testenv.c
int main(int argc, char* argv[], char* envp[])
{
char* p;
p = getenv(MyTest);
printf(current value: %s\n, p);
setenv(MyTest, New value here, 1);
p = getenv(MyTest);
print(new value: %s\n, p);
return 0;
}
/
I compiled the code and test in a bash shell:
$export MyTest=Current Value
$./testenv
current value: Current Value
new value: New value here
$echo $MyTest
Current Value
The old value is retained.
Thanks for your help.

On that box, I can ftp to localhost, but if I try to ftp to the box from another client on the network, the connection is closed by remote host. syslog shows only: Mar 8 07:17:02 cyclops ftpd[1499]: lost connection to 192.168.1.101 [192.168.1.101] Mar 8 07:17:02 cyclops ftpd[1499]: FTP session closed The machine does not have a FQDN, is addressed as 192.168.1.10. The client is using a DHCP address which also does not exist in DNS. I tried adding the DCHP address to /etc/hosts and it now allows the connection, though it is still quite slow to connect. Should I try grabbing wuftpd source and recompiling without DNS support, or are there other config parameters I should explore? Thanks. aftab alam wrote: hi You go to /etc/xinetd.d and see the file wu-ftpd. If there is any entry like disable yes. You just comment this line and reboot the system. Dan Simoes wrote: New to this list, so hi all. I have seen reports of this problem before, with no conclusive solution. On a fresh 7.1 install, I can ftp localhost without a problem on the box. Remote ftp sessions connect, then are closed by remote host. syslog shows nothing interesting. I have checked: - hosts.allow/deny - ftpaccess/ftpuser/etc - ipchains I've even watched tcpdump traffic and still don't see anything obvious. One interesting thing - ftp to the box fails, but telnet to port 21 works, and I can login with USER and PASS and do a pwd. Boggles the mind, doesn't it? My coworkers urge me to just get an updated rpm or use proftpd, but I'd like to know why this is failing. I suspect something to do with tcpwrappers and reverse lookups, but I'm not sure. Like I said, I'm not the first to see this problem.

Re: How to modify evironment variables in a C program

Hello,
How do I export a change to an environment variable made in a C program?
I tried setenv() and putenv(), but the change is not visible to the shell.
// testenv.c
int main(int argc, char* argv[], char* envp[])
{
char* p;
p = getenv(MyTest);
printf(current value: %s\n, p);
setenv(MyTest, New value here, 1);
p = getenv(MyTest);
print(new value: %s\n, p);
return 0;
}
/
This changes the environment variable just fine. If you subsequently (in
the same program) did something like this (untested):
system (echo $MyTest);
you'd see it is set just fine.
The reason you don't see it being set when you run your program from
a shell is because environment variables are an attribute of the shell/
program and are visible only to THAT program or its children. You cannot
set the environment of any level of parent program.
I compiled the code and test in a bash shell:
$export MyTest=Current Value
$./testenv
current value: Current Value
new value: New value here
$echo $MyTest
Current Value
The old value is retained.
Thanks for your help.

Nemo Mai

Floppy doesn't work
I have a floppy and a 100 zip drive I cant get to work the floppy very important, the floppy is a teac i just got it from bestbuy, Red Hat doesn't even recognize it, The 100 zip does get recognized in the hardware section but it does not work I guess its cause of a driver would it be hard to install a driver if I can find one? and is there a way to get the floppy to work? Thanks Ed ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: Floppy doesn't work
You did remember to plug everything into the correct place, right? Floppy drives are supported by BIOS, and RedHat supports them right out of the box, too. Zip drives are completely different devices... usually IDE or there abouts. Floppy drives run off of the floppy controller. Basically, if you hooked the floppy drive up correctly, it'll work. If it doesn't work, then it's either hooked up wrong or it's not a floppy drive :) Even LS-120 drives are supported for regular floppy disk media by the defacto floppy driver. Zip drives a lil strange, though. I've never used one but I had heard that you gotta use the first logical partition to access the media (/dev/hdd5 for example). And remember.. NEVER put CD-ROMs, CD-RWs, Zip drives, etc, with hard disks on the same controller :) On Fri, 8 Mar 2002, ebinc wrote: I have a floppy and a 100 zip drive I cant get to work the floppy very important, the floppy is a teac i just got it from bestbuy, Red Hat doesn't even recognize it, The 100 zip does get recognized in the hardware section but it does not work I guess its cause of a driver would it be hard to install a driver if I can find one? and is there a way to get the floppy to work?

Cygwin has anyone got it going
Hi I have just installed Cygwin but are having trouble getting it to run. I also installed a copy of Xwin32 and it worked straight up.

What is the difference between up2date and using rhn_register? I tried up2date and it said I didn't have the Red Hat public Key. Whereas when I did the rhn_register it set me up to do the updates, (I think) rhn_register simply creates and registers your account on the Red Hat network. It doesn't actually do any updates. So, you've done the first part. When you run up2date the very first time, it says that it needs the pgp key. Simply cut and paste the line that it gives you and you've completed the second part. Now, run up2date -l to show the list of updates, and then up2date -u to update all the packages. The documentation is at https://rhn.redhat.com/help/basic/. This is an excellent manual that goes into each step and explains what you need to do and what the steps are.

Configuring TV tuner card Prolink PlayTV Pro
Hello. Recently I have acquired a TV tuner card. It is a Prolink PlayTV Pro (PV-BT878P+ W/FM Rev. 8E). But I am having difficults in configuring it in my Red Hat Linux 7.2 (with upgrades) system, even after reading the bttv driver documentation on the kernel, the xawtv manual and the BTTV Mini-HOWTO. I would apreciate any tips from people using a TV tuner card with Linux. Also I would like to know which options I have for watching TV on Linux, besides the xawtv program. Regards.
