Hi, I'm trying to compile a programme called ``Dasher'' from source, which requires Expat (which I do have installed according to pkg_info and ldconfig -rv). However, it fails when I configure it: sh configure --prefix=/usr/local --exec-prefix=/usr/local with: checking for XML_Parse in

I acquired a Buslink 1394 Firewire 80GB hard drive, in which I would like to install FreeBSD, to try it out. So far, except for Mandrake 9.1, none of the other Linux distros have been able to find and install itself on the Firewire bus. So now, this would give me /dev/hda for WindowsXP Pro,

Using Freebsd's Linux Real Player at Console?

2003-07-04 Thread Dragoncrest
Just wondering how I would go about running Real Player from the console so I can listen to my favorite net.radio station without having to have X running or having it running in the Gui. I know there's a switch to do this, but I'll be darned if I can find it. Anybody know?
