Linking c programs?
Hi, I've been trying to compile a c program which uses maths functions like pow() and cbrt(), I've included the #include math.h and it compiles to an object ok. However when I try to compile it to a program I get: /tmp/ccc13322: In function `difi': /tmp/ccc13322(.text+0xea): undefined reference to `cbrt' Am I supposed to use some command line to gcc to make it work, I've been using gcc -o it it.c to make a program called 'it' from the source 'it.c' Any help would be greatly appreciated, TIA -- Best Wishes, Andy Holmes [EMAIL PROTECTED] We are MicroSoft.

Re: ISPs

Binary Newsgroup extractor?
Hi all, Maybe this is a pointless question, but. Has anyone found a program for linux that will look through binary news groups and download/decode all of the images/attachments according to a filter? I have AUB which works for multi-part messages, but I can't find a way to do single-part messages with binary-attachments. There are several programs like this for NT, (I have used NewsBin quite succesfully), but I can't find one for linux. The only solution I have found is to use slrnpull to get all the messages then use uuencode extract them, but this isn't a very nice solution.

PCI Soundblaster card?
Hi all, I'm probabily missing the obvious here but is it possaible to use a Soundblaster AWE64 PCI soundcard. I have read in the docs that the AWE64 is supported by Linux, but I can't seem to make it work and I can't find any mention about wether the PCI bus makes a difference. I managed to get an SB16 ISA PnP card to work on another machine. But the PCI card is driving me nuts. I can find the interupt and IO range from NT (Dual boot machine)! Any information would be greatly appreciated! Is there a web page about this somewhere, I can't seem to find much in the sound, or AWE howtos.

Referencing Tables in Latex?
Hi all,
Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but with the recent converstaion about
latex I was wondering if someone could help me? I'm writing a document in
latex and I can use \ref and \label to identify figures fine. So if I put
\ref{something}, it will print the number of the figure called using
\label{something}
However when I try to do the same thing with a reference to a table, it
prints the section the table is in, instead of the number of the table. I can
show the number of tables with \arabic{table}, but when I put \ref{a_table},
it prints the section number of the table instead of the table's number. Eg
2.3.4 instead of 3.
Please help, I'm sure I'm just missing something simple but the documentation
doesn't help :-(
Thanks :-)

Re: Referencing Tables in Latex?
Hi,
Here is some of the doc
This is the end of one of my tables...
---
$y$ 0.00027 0.00034 0.00042 0.00050 0.00057 0.00065\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\label{tab:dec}
\caption{Decimal Search Values}
\end{table}
--
and this is where I try to reference it
--
These are included in table~\ref{tab:dec}
--
Doing it like this seems ok to me, and works with figures, but in this case the
reference prints the section/location of the table instead of it's number.
Thanks.

Re: Referencing Tables in Latex?

Hi, I'd like to say thanks for all the great info I've had in such a short space of time.

Re: Switching pine to mutt - but...
Hi all, While on the subject of mutt, yesterday I upgraded to slink from hamm using cheapbytes CDs without to much trouble, however. Now when I try to change mail-boxes in mutt I have to type the 'd' in debian twice to get it to appear on the screen. For instance if I want to change to the mail box called 'debian'. I type '=' then press 'd' twice then type 'ebian'. Which would look like '=ddebian' but it only prints '=debian'. Why is that? It seems to do the same thing when I type in an address to send to. Any ideas would be really appreciated. Thanks for listening. -- Andy Holmes [EMAIL PROTECTED] The path of my life is strewn with cow pats from the devil's own satanic herd!, Edmund Blackadder

cfs???
Hi, I've been trying to install cfs1.3.3-1 from the deb package and the install goes fine. I can mount it and I get a line in mount that says:- 'localhost:/null on /crypt type nfs (rw,port=3049,intr,addr=127.0.0.1)' However I can't create any cfs directories. When I try to use the cmkdir command it seems to be running the cpasswd command. They are seperate files but are exactly the same size. If I try to use cmkdir on an already existing normal directory I get 'Can only change passphrase on new format CFS directories' and when I try to use it with a non existant directory I get 'No such file or directory' I have downloaded the deb twice from two different servers but the problem remains. Does anyone have any ideas about a solution. Or are they supposed to be the same but I'm getting the command lines wrong. I have read the docs/man pages but they don't seem to mention this problem. I also searches the archives for 'cfs' but got nothing.

junkbuster???
Hi, I've been trying to use internet junkbuster and have it setup on port 8000 on localhost. Netscape works correctly now I have set the proxy information as does wget. However Lynx doesn't use the proxy. I have the env variable http_proxy=127.0.0.1:8000, and I have also tried with localhost:8000. As I say wget works but Lynx doesn't want to know, it is Lynx Version 2.8rel.2 (1998), which comes from the deb in hamm. Any help would be greatly appreciated as there is no help in the Lynx documentation and the junkbuster documentation says to use the env variable.

Re: junkbuster???
Hi again, Sorry to waste bandwidth with this :-( I've now figured that I should have used http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8000/; for Lynx to work with the proxy, wget doesn't seem to mind but Lynx is more fussy. I'm not sure if it's just that I wasn't looking properly but the documentation didn't seem very clear. Perhaps it's just me? I found the answer in the lynx.cfg file which had the proper layout for the proxy name.

Spliting messages between different mail-boxes?
Hi, For the last few weeks I've been following the list and have messages from the list going to a seperate pop-mail box at my ISP. At the moment I'm reading the list from Outlook Express and have a filter that puts all messages from this mail-box into a seperate mail folder in Outlook. I would like to be able to do all my email from the debian box (am i supposed to say Linux, Debian/GNU Llinux, or GNU Linux) anyway. I have smail working to send messages to the local users on the debian box and when I am online I use 'runq' to send any outgoing messages tomy ISP's mail server. I'm using elm to read/write messages and I'm using 'fetchmail' to download messages from the pop server and put them into my mail box. What I would like is a way to have fetchmail pick-up the list messages but instead of having them end-up with my other messages put them somewhere else. I understand that elm can be told to read from any location. I don'y want to have to create a seperate user name for reading the list (but I could do as a last resort). I have read the docs for the 3 programs but can't see a good way to do this. Maybe forwarding messages into a different location? Any information would be greatly appreciated, on how other people have solved this problem or on what other sources of information are avialable. Thanks alot.

TIOCSER?WILD ??????????
Hi all, Having upgraded from Kernel 2.0.34 to 2.2.3 I get a mesage that says TIOCSER?WILD ioctl obsolete, ignored. when the machine boots. The message is printed twice and I can see it with dmesg. I thought it might be an option in a config file so I searched the whole harddrive for files containing TIOCSER?WILD, the only non executable file I could find was serial.c in the kernel source. What does it mean and how can I stop it? I can't see anything about it in the Changes document in the kernel\documents dir. Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi Rich, There is a program called ATP(ascii to postscript) which I use to format ascii documents when printing them, it supports lanscape, portrait and different numbers of columns.

Booting linux with a file as root??
Hi, I'm new to this list, and to debian/linux in genereal. I installed debian from a CD and am having a great time, mainly due to the amount of great documentation available from the cd and on-line. Anyway what I wanted to know was if there was anyway to boot a kernel (using loadlin.exe) and make it use a file as a root filesystem. I know I can format and mount a file in linux but I want to know how I get the kernel to do it at boot. The reason I ask is that I already have debian on the harddrive of my old machine but want to be able to run it on my new machine without changing anything. I configured my new machine to dual boot DOS and NT, but I can start BeOS using loadlin.exe from DOS. I know I can boot the linux kernel like this but how do I make it use a file on the DOS filesystem for the root filesystem. If this is impossiable please let me know. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
