Subject: Help! Glibc-2.1.3 compile problems...
Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2000 23:05:36 GMT
Hello.
I am trying to compile glibc-2.1.3 on Debian/GNU 2.1R2. I
have upgraded gcc to 2.95.2 and downloaded the crypt and
linuxthreads additional modules. I also upgraded to kernel
2.2.16.
Two problems occurred so far:
1) One of the dependency files was erroneously created with a T on the
end - renamed it and I was able to continue.
2) The linuxthreads extension will not compile. GNU Make and gcc
complain about missing include files "bp_sym.h" and "shlib-compat.h".
Neither of these files exist on my system.
Does anyone have any ideas ? Are they part of the binutils source (
I only have the binary installed binutils ) ? Am I missing a required
package ?
Any help would be appreciated,
James.

But is it the same hardware? Does the Linux machine have a winmodem
(Lucent has Linux drivers), etc.

> You've surely figured this out by now, but the problem is
that the process that disables the CPUID instructioin on
the INTEL platform core-dumps the AMD platform. The only
Linux that attempts to disable the CPUID by default is
Red Hat 6.2. All other Red Hat versions, and apparently
all other distributions work fine.
What I did was create a kernel that did not disable the
CPUID on another box, put it on a floppy by
# dd if=bzimage of=/dev/fd0 bs=<whatever_the_size_is> count=1
then booted the Athlon in rescue mode from the CD,
mounted the hard disk with (in my case)
# mkdir /root
# mount /dev/hda5 /root
did a chroot to /root
# chroot /root
mounted the boot partition
# mkdir /boot
# mount /dev/hda1 /boot
copied the image into the boot directory
# dd if=/dev/fd0 of=bzimage bs=<whatever_that_size_was> count=1
then added that image to /etc/lilo.conf, reran lilo, and booted
to that kernel.
A pain, but it worked.
Good luck with your Athlon.

First, find where libgd got installed. Make sure that path is in
/etc/ld.so.conf. Then run "ldconfig" as root.

No you can't, there are no MAPI clients for Linux.
HOWEVER, there may be a solution, depending on your problem. OpenOne
(www.openone.com) makes a product called MailOne. MailOne runs on
Tru64, AIX and Linux (as of version 3.1 released mid-July). MailOne
supports several protocols and can serve mail to MAPI clients.
So you could replace your Exchange server with a MailOne server. Then
your MAPI clients connect via MAPI and your Linux clients connect via
POP3 or whatever.
However, note that MailOne doesn't (yet) support the
contacts/calendaring/scheduling functions of Outlook.
Another solution would be to setup a separate mail server for the
Linux machines and get your Exchange admin to accept mail from it.

Well, I use Veritas at work and the HP lv tools occasionally, they are

If I have a second disk, I use that for mirrorig. If not, the other end
of the same disk is fine. Disk head crashes tend to be localized to
about 60MB worth of tracks.

It's a time-lagged mirror. Rsynced every day. Even "true mirrors" aren't
instantaneous. A long lag is ofte useful.

These utilities have been static forever. At least they were before

That is a mistake. No partition should be more than 2GB (4GB
possibly) in size. Mantra: Never make a unit that canot be backed up
into a single backup unit. In this case a 2GB partition will compress
to a 1GB backup, which can fit virtually anywhere. A 4GB partition
might compress to a 2GB backup file, in which case you are lucky,
because 2GB is the limit for a file size on ia32. More and you are
stuck with nonstandard solutions.

A computer running VALinux 6.0 (which is essentially RedHat 6.0)
encountered problems with its root partition. It hung and upon
rebooting, it required manual fixing of the file system for /dev/hada2.
But even after fixing it did not function properly with read errors
reported to the console. After trying a variety of measures,
we reinstalled the OS from the VALinux CD. That appeared to go
successfully, but afterwards the machine would not boot from
the hard disk, reporting an error 0X10 after lilo claimed it
was booting Linux and then it would try again with the same
result. Apparently the machine can be booted from the boot
floppy made during installation, but we have not tried to see if
everything worked properly. We did try reinstalling lilo without
effect.
I'm sure I've seen a description of exactly this problem, but I can't
recall what the resolution was. Presumably it is a problem with the
hard disk, but I would still like to know more if possible.
Signal 10 generaly means a bus error, but I don't know what that
might mean in this case.
Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah I can do this, but it is just *irksome* that USR has done this.
Note: for all of the upgrades *short* of the V90 upgrade, I can use
minicom, since the flash download uses XModem to download the new
firmware. *I* thought USR/3Com was enlightened, but not quite...
I *could* see USR/3Com using a https://... site to take my CC# and then
let me download a V90.xmd file that I can flash into the modem, but it
does not work that way for some reason. I cannot understand why, other
than stupidity...

Subject: LILO error while loading DOS
Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2000 01:29:42 GMT
Hi,
Few months back, I've installed LINUX and Windows 98 with LILO on my PC
and everything was running fine without any problems until recently.
Now, when I try to run Windows 98 from LILO, I get an error message.
Actually, here is what I see:
/------------------------------------------------------------------------
LILO boot: dos
Loading dos
Type the name of the Command Interpreter (e.g., C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM)
C:>
\------------------------------------------------------------------------
And it just waits there.
Did anyone see this problem or has any idea what this is about ?
I do not have any problems with loading the LINUX though. It's only with
DOS.
I really appreciate your help. (I've lots of useful information on the dos
partition and would like to recover it without any data loss).
Thanks,
Vasu

Subject: Does cdrecord really work with IDE CD-R??
I have failed bout 40 timess in succession attempting to write the
same 7 audio wav files
to various (memorex and TDK) CDRs.
After 4 coasters, I shifted to -dummy.
I have tried cdrecord 1.8, 1.9 and 1.10a; and have also upgraded my

the annoyance and frustration is that cdrecord will fail (almost)
every time, but it will fail writing different
tracks. Once (only once), it did dummy-write all tracks, but on a
retest, it failed.
If it would fail consistantly, i would have given up sooner
I can dual boot and have successfully written CD's with the same

I map /usr/local/share/dos to DOS drive F: and put my apps there.

Hello Ronald;
I'm not sure of what you are asking....I installed dosemu some time
ago on redhat 5.1 and was glad to see that it accesses the floppy disk
directly from DOS as a: which helps.
I have a DOS partition on the hard drive and access that from DOS
or Linux. I am not a big DOS user so have not bothered to configure the
CD-ROM drive to be accessible from dosemu. My system is dual boot so
the one time DOS needed the CD-ROM drive I justed booted DOS.
A friend installed dosemu on a machine that did not have a DOS
partition on the hard drive. The install script apparently created a
large file and formatted the contents with a DOS file system. There is
a trick involving loopback that you can use to mount the file as a
file system under Linux. Sorry, I cannot remember the details.

I have a question on this one, I built a new kernel(on RedHat 6.0) and
did all the lilo and link the System.map to the new file, and new kernel
booted ok, but the old one found a wrong System.map file. What should
I do?
Thanks
