You should have installed "development tools" when you first installed
Redhat off the CD.
If you mount your redhat cd, then cd to the RPMS subdirectory, you'll find
all the RPMs redhat install uses to set up the system. You can simply find
the ones associated with GCC (gcc*.rpm, probably), Binutils (binutils*.rpm),
and I don't know about make. Could be make*.rpm. Just look around. Once
you've found them, type:
rpm -i rpm1.rpm rpm2.rpm, etc.
If it needs you to install some other rpm before installing the one you're
trying to install, install that one too.

hi,
i'm wanting to build RPMs for solaris (sparc). i get the gcc compiler
(from http://rpmfind.doc.ic.ac.uk) and it has dependancies (binutils and
libc-5). I get these and they have dependancies and so on. This is OK,
but the last RPM that are required are 'setup' and 'filesystem'.
When I try to install :
>>>>>> rpm -i setup-1.7-2.sparc.rpm
package setup-1.7-2 is for a different operating system
error: setup-1.7-2.sparc.rpm cannot be installed\

My parents bought a new digital cam corder. They are now looking into
getting some software for digital editing.
They are now using a turkey computer I put together a few years ago out
of left over parts - a P5/133, 16 MB ram, win95. This won't cut it for
video editing.
I am looking for suggestions for software that runs under linux that
allows video editing. The hardware will probably be something like a
20~30 GB scsi HD, 128 MB RAM, pIII/500 (or maybe AMD?) and a good video
card that's supported by XFree 4.0.
I am actually looking for suggestions for hardware as well that fits the
above. I'm not really familiar with new video cards, though Matox has
long been my favorite.

If you are really talking about the structure of OUR government (as in

Or if you're pandering to the sound-bite mentality of the average CNNfn

Get the latest version of lilo from
metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/boot/lilo/
This will solve your problem provided your BIOS can make
extended calls for reading the disk. Originally BIOSs
could not address cylinders beyond 1023, so no loader
would work which relied on BIOS calls. Recent BIOSs use
the extended call.
You need to specify the lba32 option in /etc/lilo.conf.
Read the documentation that comes with the distrubition,
including the README file.
The distribution is in the form of a tar archive, but it
doesn't look very complicated to install.
You will of course need to be able to install lilo and make
the needed changes to /etc/lilo.conf and then run /sbin/lilo.
So you will need a boot floppy, but the RH6.2 installer should
have made one during installation. Lilo was almost certainly
installed during installation, so you should first run
rpm -e lilo
before installing the new lilo. It won't be in your rpm database,
so when you upgrade to a version of RH which contains the new
lilo, you may want to remove what you installed from the
tar archive and install it as an rpm package.

Lets see... when is an orange not a fruit? When it's a color.
Your metaphors, Just like your political philosophy, seem shallow and
inadequate.
FYI, a republic is a republic, a democracy is a democracy. An orange is
an orange, and an apple is an apple.
You can blend aspects of the two, that's true, but, for the umpteenth
time, WORDS HAVE MEANINGS. And "meaning" .NE. "interpretation". Just
making an assertion doesn't change the definition of a word.

And to make matters more confusing, The Open Group realizes that Linux
is vital to the future of Unix. (You're not going to "scale up to" a a
Sun E10000 if you start off using a non-unixy system.) So they've said
they want to find a way to give Linux the branding.
(The Open Group is made up of the big Unix vendors... think of it as
a consortium of the Big Guys in a vain attempt to stop fragmenting the
market...)
Amusingly, Linux is succeeding at what the Open Group failed to do:
reunify Unix. It's now an actual marketing advantage to be able to say
"SCO runs your Linux programs!"
Gotta love the irony.

instead to simulate..
The child table is prevented from accepting certain key field values
that does not exist in the parent table as follows :
====================Insert rule in child table===========
CREATE RULE rl_insert_word_pos AS
ON INSERT TO tb_redex_word_pos WHERE
new.fid = (SELECT DISTINCT fid FROM tb_redex_file_log WHERE
fid=new.fid)
DO INSTEAD NOTHING;
--Prevent changes to file id when no corresponding file id is found in
parent table.
Funny thing is the above works! And unless my SQL is rotten.....it
shouldn't! I thought initially that the WHERE clause should goes like
'WHERE new.fid != (SELECT.......'.
Instead '!=' didn't work but '=' did! Could anyone help? Thank you very
much.

Damon

I'm thinking about an automated build machine to build some programs on all
available platforms. I theoretically should be able to just say 'go' and
all systems would be built. I'd rather not have to do cross-machine
communications to initiate builds....
