Re: good replacement for open office
If you don't mind paying for software, I think you'll find SoftMaker's Textmaker and Planmaker tools wholly satisfatory. Their spreadsheets is fully compatible with Excel. They make their products for FreeBSD. Additionally, if you find quirks, they answer you (once I even saw one of their guys answer somebody on sci.math.numerical). *And* they provide regular service packs (bugfixes and improvements). I've long since ditched OpenOffice because it's always problematic. http://www.softmaker.com/english/ofl_en.htm Cheers, Henry Lenzi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: I like Ubuntu
I tried Ubuntu once and went through an upgrade. This was after some years of Debian at home. There were problems, I thought it was a joke. The documentation was also very bad, having to google for web (PHP forums) pages with the right fix. Looked very ammateurish. I moved to FreeBSD. I had enough of Debian-related problems.

Help with running Linux software LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Dear folks --
I'm trying to install a software package called LINGO for my
operations research class. There's a Linux version (no BSD, though).
http://www.lindo.com/downloads/downloadm.html
I'm hoping I can get this to work with the Linux emulation layer
(other stuff work already, like Maple 8).
I am getting errors related to a shell script a LD_LIBRARY_PATH
There are libraries that need to be loaded in /opt/lingo9
ls
LINGO.CNF libcxa.so liblindo.so libmosek.so.3.2 lingovars.sh
libcxa.so.3 liblindo.so.3.0 libunwind.so.5
libconsub3.so libcxa.so.5 libmosek.so lingo9
I unpacked it under /opt.
There's a bash shell script you're supposed to run:
##
#! /bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/opt/lingo9/bin/linux32
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LINGO_LICENSE_FILE=$HOME/opt/lingo9/license/lndlng90.lic
export LINGO_LICENSE_FILE
###
My first question is if the shell script translation to tcsh is correct:
###
#!/bin/tcsh
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/opt/lingo9/bin/linux32
setenv LINGO_LICENSE_FILE /opt/ling9/license/lndlng90.lic
###
When I try to execute it, I get the error below (BTW, set to 755).
ls -l bsdlingolic.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 2527 143 19 Abr 13:00 bsdlingolic.sh
./bsdlingolic.sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH: Undefined variable.
What suggestions do you have regarding this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Henry

Assuming that Ubuntu's package management is nearly the same as Debian's (by means of apt-get etc.) then how do you figure it's heavily dependent on human intervention? Have you ever seen the process whereby Debian (and I keep saying Debian because Ubuntu just piggybacks on the Debian developers) releases packages? Their package management system is supposed to be about handling dependencies automatically. Well, I'm not sure you've quite noticed this, that FreeBSD (and the other BSDs) *also* handle dependencies automatically. How? Because of the Magic Makefiles and its backtracking algorithm! Well, funny, huh. No need to reinvent the wheel, as 3 BSD Unixes demonstrate daily. Debian's package management is the number one cause that distro just got slower and slower in their release cycle. Interesting - so, the semi annual (of course this means 2 times a year) release of say Ubuntu isn't in line with say, OpenBSD or even FreeBSD (when they manage to push our 2 releases in a year). I said Debian and you said Ubuntu. My point was that the packaging system they have impinges an extra work load on their developers (there aren't really developers in Debian, only packagers. Only one or two develop system-level software, unlike in the BSDs). Fine. Ubuntu release sin a 6 months cycle. That is the reason they created Ubuntu, because Debian couldn't handle it. Notice that Ubuntu has full time developers on their payroll, *and* they piggyback on Debian. My point being that part of the blame lies in the technology which, in fact, is an opinion seldom heard. A funny thing that the guy who actually invented dpkg doesn't really use it anymore... Here's what you do: plot a graphic of the growth of number of packages in Debian, and then observe how that relates to their release cycle. You'll notice that the more packages they have, the more they stall. Base on what you have stated - you either used a very old version of Debian or a very old version of Ubuntu. Then again, there is always the notion that you may not have used any of the above and are just talking out your keister ;) Henry Lenzi Yes I have, I used Debian for over 5 years. I much prefer FreeBSD nowadays. Anyways, I'll not have an argument with you. I care nothing about Ubuntu or Debian or your opinons on whether I've used Debian or not. That is what I think. I'll just leave it at that. You think Ubuntu is great, good for you.

Re: cups 1.2.2 and parallel port printers

Re: cups 1.2.2 and parallel port printers

That makes sure that CUPS can access the lpt* devices (including the lpt*.ctl devices). Mode 0660 also ensures that not everyone can access lpt*, just root and members of the cups group (i.e., CUPS).

The best way to use Maple (I don't have maple 8, my versions 9, 9.5 and 10) is to run maple without java by typing : xmaple -cw (cw mean : classic worksheet) Hi -- Thanks for trying to help. My question refereed to the fact that, at least on my official CD, there is no such FLEXim script for Unix such as the documentation (Handbook) refers to. The information apparently is outdated, or I got sold a different CD (I said I specifically would run it in Linux at the time). I know it's possible to install it. Maybe Maple 8 is a lost cause. However, the NetBSD people claimed to have it installed under binary emulation. Their documentatio too is unsatisfactory in this respect. Would you care to share your experience in installing Maple ? It would be greatly appreciated. Right now, I would prefer not to have to buy another license, because they're expensive, and just stick to Maple 8 for a bit more, but since Maplesoft's support for FreeBSD is non-existent (and even for Linux it kind of sucks)...

Maple 8 on FreeBSD with Diablo
Hi -- Maple keeps getting me trouble... Has anyone installed Maple 8 with the new diablo? What the handbook says does not apply to Maple 8...There is no FLEXim script for Linux/Unix. NetBSD people claim to have it rolling under binary emulation, but their page lacks details too. Can anyone help? Henry PS: Why does Maplesoft hate us? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: New FreeBSD logo
It was, I am sorry to say. The core developer that pushed for all this said he was tired of when presenting FreeBSD to have to field a bunch of questions by people hung up over the devil image, it distracted from the presentation of the operating system's features. Ted You're kidding, right?

Re: New FreeBSD logo
BTW, I entirely apologize for singling out a religious group. Perhaps I've should've phrased it as I hope this didn't have to do with any concern or discomfort related to religious groups. Maybe I'm reading much too many polls... Anyways, I still find it hard to believe it...Although I mentioned this because I sem to remember having read something a long time ago about a FreeBSD developer that ran into some trouble because of the Devil t-shirt. So, you know, I apologize but try to see where I was coming from, if I offended anyone. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: New FreeBSD logo
you are attempting to destroy the new logo's image by imaturely calling it a sex toy and in turn are slowly taking away from those precious dollars put into aquiring it. I'm sorry to say, but it was a bad choice. The little devil has been with us for a long time. Apple has an apple, Windows has a window, Linux has a penguin, we have an abstract red thing no one can describe. When they do, they say things like tits or sex toy. It is too abstract. You want a logo people can easily describe: dialogue - Well, I use the FreeBSD oerating system. - I've heard of it...Is it the one with the little red devil? - Yeah, that's the one /dialogue Don't call people immature because they have a different opinion. I doubt the new logo would last an hour in a advertising firm's brainstorming session. I really hope the rationale wasn't something like evangelical christians having problem with the little red devil. And don't say people are being destructive when they simply are questioning what some, like me, seem to think was a wrong branding strategy, if you will (although some will not articulate it like that). Were it not important, we would have white simple HTML pages on www.freebsd.org. Granted, it's not terribly important, but like any thing that's out there, people will comment. This being a free project, people feel entitled to comment on the project's list. Rightly so.

Re: (6.1) KDE starts fine, no background(?)
I don't quite recall it with great detail, but I believe there might be a package for beautifying KDE that has the themes and all. You might want to look at that. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
