Run "ldconfig" after "make install" on the glib package and see if that
helps. ldconfig is a program that determines which shared libs are in the
system and makes sure that the dynamic linker can find them all--every
time you install a shared library, you should run ldconfig immediately
afterwards. Yes, this tripped me up a couple of times!
If you run ldconfig and nothing changes, make sure the line
/usr/local/lib
is in /etc/ld.so.conf and then re-run ldconfig. HTH,

I've acquired a Mylex AcceleRaid 250 (DAC960), and I want Slackware 7
to recognize it during installation. The machine shows Mylex address and
irq, so it's correcty installed. But the CD default installation kernel
does not
have a driver for it, neither the bootdisks from the distribution...
Does anyone have an idea of how putting it to work with Slackware

I've tried it compiled into the kernel (i.e. not module) with the same
results. I've also tried different combinations of i/o address, dma
channel, and interrupt. I've a feeling it's just a crap card.

You installed LILO in the MBR and your Ghost program didn't bother to
overwrite the MBR. Simple to fix.
1. Find a Win9x machine.
2. Put a floppy in its drive.
3. FORMAT A:
4. SYS A:
5. COPY C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\FDISK.EXE A:\
6. Boot the "sick" machine from this bootable DOS floppy
7. FDISK /MBR
8. You might have to use FDISK to set the first partition as active...
This is one of the reasons why you don't install LILO in the MBR unless
you have no alternative.

There are as many targets for Linux as there are developers and users; the
silly thing is Hydra-headed and slithering along very quickly. Don't
underestimate your users, either... the smarter ones would probably be
intrigued enough to climb a learning curve.

The printer daemon isn't started at boot time? Run linuxconf or YaST and
set the printer daemon to start then, or edit the /etc/rc.d/rc.local or
/sbin/init.d/boot.local script so that the printer daemon gets started.
No need to su every time you want to print!
As for your comments about "the home desktop user", remember that your
system doesn't *know* that it's a home desktop. What is trivial for a
home user (dealing directly with printer hardware) is in no way trivial
for a machine that may be serving 50-60 users at once. Unix has never
been a single-user OS, and the added complexity of having to be root to to
the system setup/admin tasks brings with it greater security. It's one of
those tradeoffs...

Ctrl-Alt-F7, usually. If you found out the key combo and forgot it, it's
not Linux's fault.

Many ways. Ctrl-Alt-F1; log in as root to that text console. "xterm -ls"
and "su -" in that xterm; you'll have a root shell in that xterm.
If you posted more detailed information about your printer troubles
instead of frothing, I think people would find it easier to help you. I
think you don't have the printer daemon configured correctly if it doesn't
start automatically and will only let root print. ICBW, though.

just to add a little. WINE and VMWare are quite different products. VMware boots up
a vitual PC that will run windows. Its somewhat analogous to having a seperate
machine boot up windows and then sends the visual output to you linux machine.
So when you boot up VMWARE you will get your windows desktop showing.
WINE is more of a translator between code written for Windows and that for Xwindows.
To use WINE you type in the command prompt 'wine' and the name of the
application you want to start. I have tried WINE and it doesnt work well for a lot
of useful applications. Unless you really like the windows calculator program
or the solitaire program, you are probably not going to get far with WINE.
Your best bet is VMWARE.

Subject: Netfinity boot floppy
Date: 16 Mar 2000 20:59:55 GMT
I'm trying to install Slackware on an IBM Netfinity, and it acts
somewhat as though the base hardware is not PC compatible. I built a
kernel to support the Serveraid RAID controller, took a scsi.s floppy
image and replaced the kernel with the bzImage, reran LILO, and hoped
for a good boot disk.
What I got was a screen which said:
================================================================
LILO
L
================================================================
and hung. I've done this before, but I thought I might have messed up,
so I tried the floppy in another machine, and another, and another...
and every one worked to get me to the "LILO boot:" prompt. Therefore I
suspect the problem lies in the Netfinity.
Since that only needs the floppy controller and video in vga mode to be
PC compatible, why isn't it? Is this some bizarre IBM thing like the
Thinkpad "floppy inserted" being active high vs. active low for the rest
of the world?
Anyone have a clue? Supposedly Redhat 6.1 will work if I downgrade the
firmware to 3.5, so I can build a kernel with the new driver for 3.6,
but I have a kernel for 3.6, and I don't want to run Redhat if I can
avoid it, and I won't have hte "IBM version of 6.1" for at least a day.
So what's the trick on this machine?
