[gentoo-user] Help with pppconfig
I used the Gentoo install CD and installed the stage 3 tarball. The reboot went fine and I can log in purely console mode. I have only a dialup internet connection but I cannot connect to the internet via the dialup on Gentoo. I did emerge 2 files (that emerge -s pppconfig suggested); pppconfig-2.3.9 and dialog-1.0-20040731.orig.tar.gz. When I run pppconfig as root and click on Create a connection, I get the error message: Internal error: no such thing as *** err [lib/liblow.c(329)]: /dev/gpmctl: No such file or directory Create, at /usr/sbin/pppconfig.real line 555. I don't understand what the error message means. I tried to use MAKEDEV to create /dev/gpmctl but it said it didn't know how to make it. I can't make much progress with the install until I get the dialup modem working. Thanks for any help Jerry -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hi Jerry, It is a socket that is only available when gpm is running. Try /etc/init.d/gpm start. Zac __ Discover Yahoo! Have fun online with music videos, cool games, IM and more.
