Re: Two compilation errors
Add -l /usr/lib/glib-2.0/include to the build Sounds like a buggy configure.ac Isn't the -l suppose to be for library files instead of header files?

My problem is the following: I left emule running overnight (which was never a problem before). I found that emule had failed and shut down my computer. When I turned it on emule would not work. But more importantly, my system was slow. Eventually KDE 3.0 decided to freeze on me. So I manually shutdown and restarted. But since then I haven't been able to boot. Grub returns error 18 at stage 1.5. I tried booting with a Knoppix 3.0 cd to check my harddrive. However, Knoppix tells me that ext3 fs cannot be viewed (the linux harddrive uses ext3). I have been told that Knoppix should recognize ext3, so does that failure tell me that my hd is screwed and needs formatting? Or is there a way to reinstall my boot loader without rewriting my partition table? (boot loader contains several linux kernels and windows, if that makes a difference). If the partition can't be viewed, your problem is probably more than the boot loader. Have you tried to fsck that partition? Have you looked at the partition table with fdisk -l ? According to info grub, error 18 is Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS. Do you have an old PC with a newer hard drive, such that the BIOS can't see the entire drive? Do you (or did you) have a separate boot partition? My computer is a late 90's Compaq Presario, but I've been running debian on my PC for several months. So I don't think that is an issue. I can only boot using a knoppix cd so everything is readonly. I ran fdisk -l and both /dev/hda and /dev/hdb cannot be opened. However, hda isn't effected. I can mount it without a problem. hdb is the disk with linux and the where the problem lives. fsck won't work. To the other reply, I can't boot into anything other than knoppix. linux 2 and starting grub does not do anything, but thanks for trying! - Jonathan ___ Do you Yahoo!?

aptitude: packages have been kept back?
I'm a long time apt-get user, trying to make sense of aptitude. I really like aptitude's automatic dependancy tracking; but it keeps keeping packages back whenever I run aptitude dist-upgrade. apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't keep packages back. Examining these kept back packages in aptitude, they are marked id, which I gather means installed and will be deleted. I can think of no reason why these packages should be kept back or deleted, nor have I been able to find such a reason using aptitude. Can someone please explain why some packages might be kept back, or how I might find out? Thanks oodles! Jack -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
