updating gcc

Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I'm still using suse 7.2 and recently I tried installing an application that I think needs a more recent library that comes with the c compiler. So, I got gcc-3.2.tar.gz, putting it into /root/downloads/gcc uncompressing it created: /root/downloads/gcc/gcc-3.2 I made /root/downloads/gcc/objdir and from there did /root/downloads/gcc/gcc-3.2/configure followed by make bootstrap It took almost 12 hours to compile! Then I did make install Now, gcc -v is reporting different versions, depending who I am! If I log on as root, gcc -v reports 3.2 If I log on as an ordinary user and then su to root, gcc -v reports 2.95.3 , reading specs from a different place. Could anyone advise? thanks Richard -- richard(a)tortoise.demon.co.uk

Does cups recognise printers that arent installed using cups? because i installed one using tcp direct printing and when i clicked the link to configure cups. It takes me to a page showing the printers i just installed. Also how do i create groups for a printer? Well it seems i need to create a new group then specify that it gives members use to printers? Could someone give me and idiots walkthrough of this please as i have no idea what to do!Cheers > --- Andrew Nix <andrew.nix(a)st-paulshigh.manchester.sch.uk> wrote: > >> I have never set up a cups printer before.

network printers
by Andrew Nix 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

Hi all. Im not sure if this is the place to be asking this, but im confident that someone will be able to answer my question. We're using thin client (nymph) in KDE and have 500+ users. What I want to do is install a number of printers but only let certian people use certain printers. I was thinking I would have to create a group for each printer and then add users accordingly. Then here comes my problem. Im still very new to linux and have no idea how to create a group for an installed printer.Also im not sure whether i should be installing the printer on the nis server or the thin clint server (but im sure this definately is a question for another list).As i cant add users to groups if they dont exsist on that server. Could any one help? Even if it's advise as to another way to do this. Any comments welcome.

Chris, > Will postgre not handle these functions? I think I've had this discussion on this list before. I mostly write windows clients in Delphi, and its easy to connect them to a Firebird server on Linux. regards Richard -- richard(a)tortoise.demon.co.uk

Are you desperate to use Firebird? We've done some work with it's predecessor, Interbase 6, and to say it was quirky under Linux is an understatement...

Here is the type of error I get, when trying to start one of its tools: /usr/local/firebird//bin/isql: /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.5: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libfbembed.so.1) regards Richard -- richard(a)tortoise.demon.co.uk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: suse-linux-uk-schools-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands, e-mail: suse-linux-uk-schools-help(a)suse.com

Thanks for that, the SAR110 looks like a good solution, certainly cheaper than the Zoom X3 Peter.
