The C-library function descriptions are in the manpages-dev package. The info pages in the glibcdoc package are also very useful to a C(++) programmer. > The second problem has to do with lpd. It seems to die once in a while. If > I want to reinstall it which package should I install? I have the same problem with lpd from lpr_0.33-3.deb. Installing the last version did not help me a lot. You might want to try the lprng package (maybe you even have that installed). This should have enhanced functionality. I never got around getting my print filters to work with it though (yeah, I know about magic filters, but since I wrote my own in my old slackware days, I kept it that way). For now, I just restart lpd once in a while if I need to print. HTH, Eric -- E.L. Meijer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Eindhoven Univ. of Technology Lab. for Catalysis and Inorg. Chem. (SKA)
