I believe this may be due to a different kernel build/driver set up, but I have not seen a mac G5 YDL so I can't say for sure ;) > Results are as follows: > I added extra repositories as per instructions on the message boards, & > installed Java from those repositories instead of using IBM's .rpm files. > That process put the Java app itself in /usr/local/sbin.

There may be well a command associated with the linker to actually list all linkable libraries on the library search path but I don't know if it exists actually. One other thing: ld will typically link to libraries in directories specified in /etc/ld.so.conf. I think I had to add /usr/local/lib to this file to my system as it did not have that directory in it by default. > The 1080P HDTV screen is now fully functional, although the text size is too > small for me to read comfortably - I must sit too close to the TV for my > comfort.

I have never been able to run 1080p because as you say, the text is way too small. Look at it one way, there's less of a burden for the poor ppe to blt, and less memory used ;) Try ps3videomode -v to find something you like. > I tried to install SeaMonkey from a .rpm file; that failed, claiming about > 50 different library files are needed.

FAT-32s automount. But I admit, I do not use E17, so I don't know how the file manager software there behaves. I believe the usb storage devices will mount to somewhere in /media from memory - not near my YDL so I can't check for definite. > I will look for the .so java library to try to get FireFox Java working. > Failing that, I'll install the ibm-java-ppc64-jre-6.0-7.0.ppc64.rpm , which > loads into /opt. I don't know about this one - if it's from one of the ps3 repositories it should be ok, as likely someone has tested it out... but I have a feeling from its name it may not. Our YDL userland is mainly 32 bit - our libraries etc are mainly 32 bit. It is possible to run 64 bit userland code but the pre-installed library base is small, so this is only possible if the code does not expect to link to much. If it expects a lot in the 64 bit userland (I know for example our X is 32 bit only) then it may not run. > I have an HP 6280 all-in-one printer that I can't yet use.

I basically took the easy way out and wired my connection ;) Robert Spykerman -- chown -R us ./base _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list - [email protected] Unsuscribe info: http://lists.fixstars.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:us.fixstars.com'
