The tangogps slackbuild does not work with gpsd (on a 64-bit 13.37 Slackware
system running on a Toshiba NB305 netbook), also installed from
slackbuilds.org. I am using a GlobalSat BU-353 gps receiver. After starting
gpsd, I run xgps to test, and I get a 3D fix and everything looks normal.

The 13.37 version of lapack does not build without a little help. The
Slackbuild script defaults VERSION to 3.3.0, but the sources are 3.3.1.
Changing the default or passing in VERSION works. The default should be
updated.

Thanks for the responses. I guess you've convinced me that setting -j as a
function of cores/hyperthreading is probably a bad idea.
Question: the gnu make man page and the info writeup are not clear on the
effect of MAKEFLAGS. There's a lot of chatter about sub-makes, but it is not
clear that

Suggestion:
It would be nice if slackbuilds rummaged around in /proc/cpuinfo, figured
out how many cores are present and whether hyperthreading is supported, and
then set the -j option to make accordingly. It would also be good if they
took a value for the -j option as an argument (in an environme

to create a postgres group and user and you are given the commands to
do so. You comply, the postgres package builds, you install it, and
