Ok, you probably won't believe this...but...
I upgraded from a patched up version of Redhat 5.1 to Redhat 6.0 two
days ago and ever since then, iostream linked files compile, but then
segfault. Here is the code (for those who doubt me...)
#include <iostream.h>
int main () {
cout << "Hello World\n";
return 0;
}
The GDB run:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/phaze/b30/a.out
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

ldd says that older files compiled are linked like this:
/lib/libNoVersion.so.1 => /lib/libNoVersion.so.1 (0x40014000)
libstdc++.so.2.8 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8 (0x4001e000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4005f000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4007c000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2
(0x40000000)
but now they are linked like this:
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4001c000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40038000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2
(0x40000000)
I don't know what's wrong...I have ideas, but no idea how to fix it. If
you have any idea, please let me know. This is really bugging me :)

Not on a 256k video board, WMaker just uses too many colors. WMX would

Hmmmm, I know next-to-nothing in Linux. If I were doing this in DOS you
could grep (I use greps ported to DOS) for the first pat, output those
filenames file, grep THOSE files for the 2nd pattern ouput THOSE
filenames to another file and grep THOSE files, ouput to a 3rd file.
And THAT file would have your answers.
Sorta clumsy, unless there AINT a utility to do it, then it would woik.

NSCA made the foundation reasearch which www was built up on. Now that
www has grown up it can take care of itself, and NSCA can do other
kinds of reaserch projects.
It you want a webbrowser, which is faster and less buggy, take a look
at www.operasoftware.com, it costs $30/students$15, but you might feel
that is money well spent when you see how fast and reliable it is.

Subject: How can I test my modem?
Date: Fri, 11 Jun 1999 00:50:58 +0100
I want to connect to my ISP with RH6. I have a SupraMax modem. I think I've
configured my PPP interface, etc, but I don't get any sort of sound out of
my modem when I try to connect, although no error messages are reported
(I've already told it which port my modem's on in the Control Panel).
How do I test my modem. I have tried to use minicom, but to be honest, don't
understand what I'm supposed to do with it. If I could just send some AT
commands to my modem, or anything else someone can suggest then it'd be a
start.
Is kermit the key to this? I don't seem to have it on my system, and I can't
download it from the net, cos my modem's not working :)
Can anyone suggest anything?
TIA

Does anyone know when the Linux version of Opera will be available?
Its supposed to be soon, according to their web site, but as of a few
days ago, http://www.operasoftware.com/ didn't mention when.
Thanks,
John
BTW, Opera is fast, it supports the standards, and it works. Well
worth $30 to replace the code bloat currently available.

the biggest problem with pump is that there is no way to get it re-run
your firewall configuration script when the dhcp lease runs out and
you get new ip numbers.
having a highly capable operating system like linux and using a
cable-modem 24/7 without some kind of firewall protection is
foolhardy.
my advice is to retreat back to dhcpcd.

Use perl!
The following will do
(suppose you search for regexp_1,...,regexp_n)
#!/usr/bin/perl
undef $/; # make <> read whole file in one go
while (<>) {
next unless ( /regexp_1/omi ); # remove 'i' for case-insensitive
# matching
next unless ( /regexp_2/omi ); # the o is for speed only
# ...
next unless ( /regexp_n/omi );
print "$ARGV\n"
};

Save the file and execute with
perl -x <filename>

Hi,
I downloaded Oracle 8 from Oracle web site and installed it. But I

server is about US$1400 and Enterprice version is about $14,000.
I am confused. Is Oracle for Linux FREE. Or I just download a trial

- You can select the windowmanager with the KDE login manager (session
type).
- You won't want to use *plain* X, won't you?
If you want to use *plain* X, use fvwm and issue a 'killall fvwm2' in
the xterm.
- Press CTRL-ALT-F1 to switch to console (= plain prompt). If you want
to get rid of X sitting in
your RAM, then (as root) '/<your init dir here>/xdm stop'.
You could easily write a script for that. (see 'select' entry in bash
manpage)

That was the solution :-)
/usr/local/lib was NOT in /etc/ld.so.conf
But when i do ./configure for gtk+, i get the message that it had
found 2 versions of glib.
Glib version 1.2.1 and 1.2.3.
In the messages is the advice to remove the oldest version, glib
1.2.1.
But how do i uninstall a glib ???
And i belief i have found a DOS/WINDOWS habbit of me, that causes
problems..
In dos/windows i extract a zip file to C:/TEST/
>From there i do C:/TEST/INSTALL
Install in dos/windows makes C:/PROGRAM/ and puts al the needed files
there..
Then i do ERASE C:/TEST/*.*
I get the impression that it does not work this wat for linux and
glib..
Should i extract in to /usr/local/lib directly ???
And install from there ??
And not from /home/hihihi/test
Could be that this has been causing a lot of the problems if have..
I really hope that someone can answer this question.. :-)))

Subject: Leafnode and inode problem
Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 19:08:00 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Is there a way to avoid that the news server leafnode writes a file
for EACH AND EVERY message (even for empty ones!) it gets on its local
database?
I find this very annoying and uneffective. Perhaps one could use a
loopback file system with just one file containing all messages, or
just keep the database compressed in some way?
Even Agent manages the news database much better.
I know that Linux grew up in the internet news, so I would think that
specially for Linux there would exist excellent software for this
service, but I am a little bit disappointed. Except for this inode
problem, leafnode seems to be quite appropriate. But again: where are
the really good news clients for Linux?

Well, I'm running RH-6.0 on a 17GB HD. I kept W98 in a 2GB partition
just in case I need it. I gave root 500MB (probably more than it will
ever need), 500MB for swap (256MB RAM doing large compiles),
2GB for /usr, and the rest for development files. Just got to insure
that /boot lives below the 1024 cylinder limit.
