You png libs are compiled with libc5. You'll need to re-compile both
zlib and libpng so that they're linked to libc6.

I have a HP dj400c printer and had a bit of time getting it to print
other than ascii. I had 3 configuration problems:
1) I didn't have ghostscript installed.
2) I was using the HP 400/500/.... printer driver that came with my
RH5.1 edition (what a mistake!)
3) I also neglected to edit my /etc/printcap file to point to the
new/correct driver I downloaded (magicfilter-1.2)
Note: I used the <printtool> utility which automatically writes my
/etc/printcap file.
Anyway, I took care of all 3 of these problems and I can now print from
any appilication in Linux.
Hopes this helps.

Subject: Programming in Linux...Help!
Date: 21 Jan 1999 13:37:48 GMT
This may really belong in comp.lang.c++, but as I suspect that my problem
may be compiler specific, I'll post it here and hope that I don't offend
too many people <g>.
I am writing a small encryption / decryption program for ASCII text files
under Linux. However, I want to compare two string values. I used this to
start with...
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
char password1[9];
char password2[9];
system ("stty cbreak -echo");
cin >> password1;
cin >> password2;
system ("stty -cbreak echo");
if (password1 != password2)
{
cout << "No Match\n";
cout << "Terminating...\n";
return (1);
}
else
{
// Encrypt the file..
}
return 0;
}
However, this always gives "No Match", even when the passwords are the
same. A friend told me that this is because the string variables are
actually pointers that cannot be compared. He said to use:-
string password1;
string password2;
But this doesn't work either. The GNU G++ compiler says that string is not
defined in string.h. Do I need a different string header file or is there
another way to compare two strings.
Any help would be great.
Cheers all!

Earlier I posted a message that I will give it a try so I did.
I was successful on my stand alone server. I tested it with a

Well, it wasn't quite like that. During the offence phase of the war,
Finns went well over the old border, but were pushed back later, and
stopped the Russians at approximately where the border is today. As for
the respect, during the siege of Leningrad, Field Marshal Mannerheim could
have cut Leningrad off from the rest of the world alltogether, but he had
foresight, and left some room for the Russians to supply the city. Later,
Russians remembered this with gratitude.
As for this having to do with Linux, I have no idea :)

As do many Germans. It is however easy to come up with examples (in
German) which are very hard to understand or highly ambiguous without
proper capitalisation. It seems that due to it's long history of
making extensive use of capitalisation, German in it's present form
can not easily be modified to do away with capitals.

Unfortunately it can not (unless you always use a full stop followed by
one space for abbreviations and followed by two spaces for sentence
endings, as most Emacs-users have learned to do). Thus the need for
"\ " and "\@" in TeX.

This would certainly make me happy if I had to read any of it.
Although you are right that the use of both punctuation _and_ capitals
to mark the border between two sentences is highly redundant (ignoring
the problem with abbreviations for a moment), I still think it makes a
valuable aid when reading. You convention can of course be understood
too, but it just takes that little bit of extra time. A bit like
reading a long text written in a type without serifs (sp?).

As the PII, I believe, but differed in amount of L2 cache.

That is, I think, a function of the manufacturing process used rather than
the core design. A finer manufacturing process will use less power and
produce less heat, allowing you to clock faster. However, we are also
approaching the point where crosstalk will become a problem (not to
mention that with X-ray lithography, there is a hard limit to the
resolution of any process - the wavelength of the X-ray).
The manufacturing process actually changed midway through the PII line, so
that's why you have two distinct series of processors with differing clock
speed ranges. The Xeon is a third change, I think, although it might be a
mere change in configuration and amount of L2 cache.

Umm I think you should know that logging a username and ipaddress
at a certain time and point is and has been going on at many ISP's
large and small for many years now....
For instance, using radius, which alot of ISP's use, that gives you the date,
username, ipaddress used., their connect and disconnect times.

The problem we have with COBOL programs, actually the WHOLE Y2K issue,
is that they reference dates as MM/DD/YY not MM/DD/YYYY. Many of the
cobol interpreters are running on operating systems that are Y2K
complient. It is just what will these programs do when the are presented
with 09/13/00? Will they crash? Will they calculate for 99 years? It
depends on how they were coded.
The 2038 bug is not in application persistent data storage. A simple OS
upgrade will fix it. The very worst that will need to be done is a
backup, reformat, restore of the file system (assuming the file system
has 32 bit time_t dates). The 2038 bug is very constrained in that it is
an internal OS issue, not an application issue.
This is a bunch of fuss over nothing.
