But in the /usr/lib/smail/config file, There are blanks (spaces) after

all of the backslash characters on the Recieved control lines.
|

Remove the blanks and it works correctly.

|
|
|
|
Hello,
|
|
|
|
My goal is to build several shared, dll libraries for Linux such
|
|
as 3D graphics libraries (vogl, vogle, Ygl, sipp, plplot) and huge
|
|
NAG fortan library. I read the documantation included with tools-2.16,
|
|
looked over the examples, looked over other libraries, and actually
|
|
already compiled some of the above, but still have some questions,
|
|
that hopefully someone can answer.
|
|
|
|
First of all, how do I register the load address of the libraries, so there
|
|
will be no conflict with other people libraries. And how do I get the stop address?
|
|
Say if the start address is 0x72000000 how do I calculate the stop address?
|
|
Can I do "size libxx.so.x.x.x" and then add the hex size to the start address
|
|
and make the stop addres just bit higher then the above sum?
|
|
|
|
Second, I did libinfo on several stubs in the /usr/lib and observed that the
|
|
Global Offset Table size and Jump Table size are same for most of them
|
|
(0x1000 and 0x4000). Why is that? Doesn't the size of the library play
|
|
any role here?
|
|
|
|
Third, well I think that's enough for now.
|
|
I really be thankfull if someone can answer above questions..
|
|
Thank you,

This was the reason the Qfax utilities for efax were developed. They
|
|
give an otherwise "single-user" fax program a full-fledged set of fax
|
|
server features, including remote spooling, e-mail-to-fax gateway,
|
|
automated PostScript cover page generation, user phonebooks, and so
|
|
on.
|
|
|
|
You are correct about mgetty+sendfax however--that was an omission
|
|
that several others pointed out in other posts. However, my
|
|
interpretation of "fax daemon" as the initial poster described it,
|
|
seemed only to fit FlexFAX and the efax+Qfax combination due to the
|
|
lack of spooling with mgetty+sendfax. It should also be noted that
|
|
mgetty+sendfax requires a Class 2 fax-modem, whereas FlexFAX and
|
|
efax+Qfax work with both Class 1 and 2 fax-modems.

I've got a Media Vision Pro 3D sound card with SCSI-2. The SCSI-2 chip is an
|
|
NCR 53C406A. It looks like it's probably something new, since it's not
|
|
mentioned in the SCSI-HOWTO.
|
|
|
|
Does anyone know about this chip? Is it compatible (no changes required) with
|
|
another supported NCR SCSI chip driver? If not, know where I can get a NCR
|
|
data sheet on the chip -- so I can patch the nearest NCR driver code?
|
|

Thanks.

Speaking of VIPER, this is not under the purview of that project either. At
|
|
least, not yet. We are basically interested in providing multi-threading
|
|
support in the kernel, not making Linux a micro-kernel. Those steps may come
|
|
later on. I don't know how Mach works, but if it supports dynamically loadable
|
|
device drivers, then the project of making Linux a Mach server process, may
|
|
address this issue.

I'm having the same problem with atof()! I've been going nuts tring
|
|
to find the cause! Is it a library bug, or what?
|
|
|
|
Linux 1.0.8, libc.so.4.5.24, gcc 2.5.8, 486DX40.
|
|
|
|
Here's the snippet of code that's causing it. (This works on SunOS 4.1.3)
|
|
|
|
double getElement(gstr,gstart,gstop)
|
|
int gstart, gstop;
|
|
char gstr[80];
|
|
{
|
|
int k, glength;
|
|
char gestr[80];
|
|
|
|
glength = gstop - gstart + 1;
|
|
|
|
for (k = 0; k <= glength; k++)
|
|
gestr[k] = gstr[gstart+k-1];
|
|
|
|
gestr[glength] = '\0';
|
|
|
|
return(atof(gestr));
|
|
}

I have been having the worst of luck with an UltraStor 24F EISA SCSI
|
|
controller that I have at my office. Under MSDOS all seems well. I
|
|
was able to access different SCSI drives, do low level formats, etc.
|
|
Under Linux, using the UltraStor 1.11 alpha driver, things are much
|
|
different. Usually I load a boot floppy, the driver loads, it sniffs
|
|
out my SCSI disk, recognizes the partitions then a few seconds later
|
|
the kernel seems to dead-lock with a "SCSI host 0 timed out" error.
|
|
|
|
Any clues as to what this might be? Does a newer driver exist for the
|
|
24F?
|
|
|

Thanks a million,

Try linking with -lieee. BTW: Next time can you mention what version of the
|
|
C libraries you are using. A "ldconfig -p" will suffice.

Probably because the link line had a "-g" in it somewhere. Take out the "-g"'s
|
|
from the Makefile and relink. The "-g" tells GCC to produce ginormous binaries
|
|
for fun.

This is likely a I/O address conflict. What kind of disk controller are you

Are there any Tx or Rx errors reported in /proc/net/dev? What about error
|
|
messages logged in /usr/adm/messages?

Routing Information Protocol (RIP), External Gateway Protocol
|
|
(EGP) or Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) might be what you need.
|
|
Check out the Network Admin Guide in section 2.4.4 for more info,
|
|
and prolly the gated documentation as well.

Subject: Installing from a QIC-80 tape?
|

I am trying to upgrade my Linux from an old SLS to Slackware, I now have
|
|
a Colorado 250mb tape drive and would like to install from it.
|
|
|
|
I was going to copy all install files to a DOS partition, then
|
|
use a DOS program to back it up to tape. Can I then use this tape
|
|
to install from?
|
|
|
|
Thanks

No, the destination address must not always be a 'host'. If you make a 'nestat -rn'
|
|
for example, you will not find as many 'host' routes as 'network' routes.
|
|
'host' routes have the 'H' flag set wheras 'network' routes have the 'G' flag set.
|
|
Therefore there could conceptually be a network with number 127.0.0.0. But this
|
|
number is per definitionem reserved for local connections on your computer.
|
|
I.e the kernel can use the same addressing scheme for local connections (remember
|
|
the 'localhost' entry in /etc/hosts), as it would use for external connections.
