There is certainly a lot of crunching going on, but the data set is only
about 350KB. A few FFTs on a data set this size should not really take
up all that much space; FFTs are pretty compact. And the seti program
(for linux) itself is only 100KB !! If I read the documentation right,
it does not save any results unless they look "interesting". So I too
find it a tad puzzling that it is eating up this much space.
But that's okay. Memory is cheap, and most of the time I have plenty to
spare, so I pretty much just leave seti running all the time. It does
not seem to interfere with my normal work, and I can pop up the X
display occasionally (I have an icon for it on my toolbar - now that's
fanatical) to look at the clever graphic display and see what's
happening.

No, Pac Bell doesn't do static IP's any more :-(. I called them a few
weeks ago, and they are passing out dynamic IP's, so you'll need a PPPoE
client for Linux. I went with an ISP that provides static IP's, but the
link is IDSL (144Kb). Hopefully soon, I can get the best of both
worlds.

Subject: Make dep errors on compiling kernel 2.2.12
Date: Thu, 25 May 2000 20:21:34 -0700
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am trying to compile a kernel for the first time with the aid of the
LDP HOWTO and Running Linux.
I'm currently running 2.2.5-15; and having downloaded 2.2.12, tar -xvf
into the /usr/src/linux directory, run make config, answered a bizillion
questions, I then run make dep from /usr/src/linux.
I get something like:
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-protoypes -02 -fomit-frame-pointer -o
/scripts/mkdep.c
scripts/ makdep.c.c13: sys/stat.h.: No such file or directory
scripts/ makedep.c.c14: sys/types.h: No such file or directory
up through c:21 (?).
It exits with an error 1.
However in the /usr/src/linux/scripts directory there is a makdep.c.
When I search for the actual 'No such file or directory', such as
find / -name stdio.h -maxdepth 15
which is one of the .h files it says 'No such file or directory' -
nothing comes up. They really aren't there.
So after reading sections of the GNU make manual, I tried running make
dep with the -t flag in the hope that I could then get past the error 1
and onto compling.
Now when I run make dep I get
scripts/mkdep init/*.c > .depend
/bin/sh: scripts/mkdep: permission denied
make: *** [dep-files] Error 126
Or when I run make bzImage I get
gcc-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -02 -fomit-frame-pointer -o
scripts/split-include
scripts/split-include.c
scripts/split-include.c:c22: sys/stat.h; No such file or directory
up through c:31
I am logged in as su. And at a loss.
Any suggestions? they would be very much appreciated.

You have made it pretty clear that the distros shipping

All_squash. If you did not put no_all_squash in the exports line
all users became nobody on the mount. Not a fun surprise in
my emergency reconstruction of our cvs repository. At some
point in the 2.2.x series, no_all_squash became the default
again. Since I'm not tracking them either, I have no idea
which versions had the problem.

No, I didn't know about that (how should I have found out?), and
the Sun was seeing the directories for hours after they were
gone. I think I had to unmount and remount to clear them.

Nope, no read only files/directories involved, just bugs or
incompatibilities. I found others were having similar problems
in the newsgroups, found H.J.'s patches, and assumed that the
fix would find its way into the kernel. As far as I can tell
(which isn't very far because there is no way to track any
kind of resolution here), it hasn't so I've been sticking
to the VALinux distribution to get something that works at
all.

If there were a tracking system, there would be a place to

>In the case above

Why should it take a kernel developer's time to let an administrator
know that? The layering of software gets even worse. For example
RedHat's 'ifup' script that wraps ifconfig now adds routes for the
alias addresess. You really don't want this unless they are not
on the same subnet because it turns the default source address for
outbound connections into the last-added alias. As far as I can
tell the way to turn this off is undocumented.
And while we are on the subject of networks, I see some very
strange behaviour when asymetic internet routing causes
something that looks a bit like a SYN flood. If one branch
of a redundent route goes down for a while I sometimes see
connection requests come in (at the usual many-per-second
rate) where my replies don't make it back to a large number
of them for a few minutes while the internet routes reconverge.
Apache seems to stop accepting requests in this situation
long before I should be out of sockets or anything else.
Is there any way to survive this condition more gracefully?

Sorry, but that's just not true. There have always been
some number of things that just plain don't work and
require workarounds or using certain kernel revs for
anything you expect to keep running.

Wrong answer - it's a few minutes of video, a tar image of a not
very big partition, or a very small database. But people are savvy
enough to know that the *bsd's have had large file support for
years, as does NT and solaris. The question is, when can
we expect it to work with Linux as well and how much pain
do we have to go through before it works right?

As you said, it probably wasn't the drivers fault - and there was

If that isn't a joke, would you mind explaining your philosophy

fun to do? A neat toy that is just as interesting broken
as working? What is your motivation to do anything with it
if it doesn't matter if it is correct or not?

The user space server was reliable - just too slow for any

One program does this already; autoconf. `configure' does not generate
any files at all; an AC_OUTPUT generates code in `configure' which
causes a config.status to be generated, and then *that* is run to
generate all the substituted output files. And, of course, you can run
them again to regenerate them, and automake-generated Makefiles do that
automatically as needed.

Just because RTL looks like Lisp doesn't mean it shares many Lispy
properties. Among those it doesn't share is closure semantics.
The Lisp-likeness is only a facade; the precise form of RTL is very
machine-specific, and not anywhere near Lisp in expressivity. It is
notable that GCC is moving more and more towards doing things as trees,
because they retain far more context than does RTL, so optimizations can
be better.

GNU stow fixes this pretty well. STORE fixes it far too well (the same
way as stow) and is so complicated that nobody can work out how to use
it ;)
If you need external databases to work out where things come from, you
are in trouble if they get corrupted. If the database is the filesystem
itself, then that adds no additional points of vulnerability (as you are
using the fs anyway).

I have fixed it! Had to configure isapnp at IRQ5 I/O 0x2e8. (strange
settings, but it works)
minicom also works, dials and the isp sends all the stuff. The only problem
is that not kppp says "Modem busy", although the query modem works. What's
happening? Can I connect in any other way?
