X11 libs problem

There seems to be some sort of problem with the libraries in /usr/X11R6/lib. Almost every program I install that isn't from a debian package won't run because it can't find libraries from this directory. This is my ld.so.conf: /usr/local/lib /usr/lib/libc5-compat /lib/libc5-compat

depth and GTK

I recently installed the gtk libs, development, and doc packages. Following the instructions in the docs I compiled a very basic program. When I try to run it though I get the message ** ERROR **: unable to find a usable depth and a core dump. I'm running the plain ol' VGA16

X11 libs not found

I've run into this a few times - Some programs, more often than not non-Debian stuff, can't find libraries in /usr/X11/lib. For example, I installed teTeX from binaries I already had and couldn't run xdvi. Now I compiled some Xforms demos with FPK-pascal and they can't find libX11 or

gcc g++

Since g++ is now seperate from gcc, I noticed after installing both of these that I have two directories under /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux. One is 2.7.2.3 from gcc and the other is egcs-2.90.26. Other than a few differences they seem to have the same files each taking almost 3M. I'm running on

ld can't find X libs

A few programs I've tried to run in X11 can't find the X11 libraries. XDvi copmlains about no libXaw.so.6. When I ldd xdvi it shows this library and others (like libX11) as not being found. If I ldd a program in /usr/X11R6/bin it finds all of them. I checked ld.so.conf and it has the correct

Re: Installing large packages from DOS formatted diskette

Hi, I am a newbie to Debian. Recently I installed Debian 1.3 on my PC from diskettes. It is working fine. However I downloaded some Debain packages which are larger than 1.44M (diskette size). How can I install these packages? I have DOS/Windows tools like pkzip, arj, gzip but I am not

Re: swapFILE vs swapDISK ??

Hi, I was wondering whether there are any benefits to using a swap partition as opposed to using a swap file. I am running debian 1.3 on a system with relatively low resources (200 megs HD, 12 megs ram), and have it set up to have a 12 meg swap partition. But, today I found out about

Re: Cannot correctly print non-ascii files

Problem: My HP Laserjet 6L can only print ASCII files correctly. Other files just print things such as ASCII headers on Postscript files. Printing from Netscape also prints out wacky ascii characters. I don't know if this is quite the same error I got originally after installing

Re: dpkg options

The man page for dpkg says it's inaccurate and also out of date. Is there an updated man page somewhere? I was just wondering if there might be some options for the program that are not listed in the man or --help pages. For example, is there an option to get the long description of an

jdk1.1-runtime

I just downloaded biss-awt_0.87-1 and the web page says there are no depends, etc but during installation I found out it needs jdk1.1-runtime. Where is this package? Does jdk1.1-dev provide this or should I just ignore depends? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of

gcc problems

I am using the Debian 2.0 distribution, and recently installed the various development packages. When I used a configure script for a program, it says: checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes (other stuff) checking for c++... no checking for g++... no checking for gcc...

Zmodem recovery

Minicom doesn't recover when I have partial files. It sees it and skips to the next file or stops the download. I'm usually downloading from my school shell account. I type sz files and minicom automatically starts download. In the setup it says it's running rz -vv for zmodem downloads.

g++ file doesn't run

Thanks for the help - it does compile with g++ instead of gcc, but the executable produced isn't doing anything. Here's what i'm doing: //test.c #include iostream.h main(){ cout Hello there.; } The test file doesn't print out anything when I run it. Also, I was wondering if this was a

gcc - iostream.h

I recently installed the basic development files - gcc, cpp, binutils, libs, and libs-dev. When I tried to compile a program with just a cout line it says iostream.h: no such file... I remeber seeing a lot of this on the linux newsgroup, and there seemed to be as many theories as there were
