tputs not found
by Teemu Nikkilä 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Hi, I'm fairly new to programming in SuSE Linux. At first I'm trying to compile speech_tools from Festival under SuSE 9.3, but ./configure fails with: checking for tputs in -ltermcap... (cached) no checking for tputs in -lncurses... (cached) no I have ncurses_devel installed and the libs are linked to /usr/lib: /usr/lib/libcurses.so.1 /usr/lib/libcurses.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libtermcap.so.2 /usr/lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8 Should tputs() be in those libs (and in general, how can I check the functions in a library)? Best Regerds, Teemu

iscsi_boot in /sbin/mkinitrd of SLES9
by Aggarwal, VikasX 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Hello All, I am working on for SLES9 installation to iSCSI disk and then booting from it. It is already working for RHEL4 linux. My procedure(for iscsi installation and boot-from iscsi-disk) required changes to "mkinitrd" for RHEL4 linux. While going through "/sbin/mkinitrd" of SLES9, i found "iscsi_boot" variable inside it. Now i wonder if i can find a doucment to teach myself to use this already-existing feature of SLES9 to enable iscsi boot. I installed on iSCSi disk. As i added the iscsi.ko and iscsid-daemon and related configuration files via driver-update-diskettes prepared using "dkms mkdriverdisk ....". But so far i had not been able to understand how to enable the iscsi boot for SLES9 in initrd. My NIC already has some iscsi expansion ROM which can get the iscsi_boot drive from DHCP server and it will scsi-read the grub-loader and initrd+vmlinuz. After that the iscsi-stack inside the initrd will take-over. From SUSE gurus i am trying to find out "how can I enable the alread-existing feature of iscsi_boot in SLES9 mkinitrd ?". regards -vikas aggarwal

SUSE 10 and two versions of gcc
by Roger Oberholtzer 25 Nov '05

25 Nov '05

I have need of both the gcc that comes with SUSE 10 (4.0.2) and a 3.4.x version of gcc as well. Is it possible to have both installed at the same time? I would guess that things like include files would have to be sorted. But does anyone know of a general guide for doing this sort of thing? The SUSE 10 one would be the default that should be invoked as usual. The gcc 3.4 could require, say, environment variables to be set. The reason for this is I want to compile kernel modules for some other system, and it seems that it is not happy if they are compiled with SUSE's 4.x gcc. The kernel itself was compiled with 3.4.4. I can chroot to an environment that will run gcc 3.4.4, but I would prefer to just run the 3.4 compiler from a Makefile in SUSE 10.0. Make sense? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems AB

Problem using occi libraries in SuSE 10 gcc 4.0
by Chaitanya Chalasani 22 Nov '05

22 Nov '05

Hi, I am using SuSE 10 with gcc-4.0. I am building an application with oracle - occi library. The occi library was linked with libstdc++.so.5 and my gcc 4.0 is linking the program with libstdc++.so.6. The compilation and linking is ok but at runtime it gives me exception in occi resultset getString funtion. A search on google says that we need link the application with libstdc++.so.5. Can u use gcc-4.0 to link the application with libstdc++.so.5?( The libstdc++.so.5 is available in SuSE 10) or do we need to install gcc-3.2 in SuSE 10. Please help me out. Thankyou very much in advance.

C++ Formalism
by Steven T. Hatton 20 Nov '05

20 Nov '05

"In this paper, we develop a general formalism for describing the C++ programming language, and regular enough to cope with proposed extensions (such as concepts) for C++0x that affect its type system. Concepts are a mechanism for checking template arguments currently being developed to help cope with the massive use of templates in modern C++. The main challenges in developing a formalism for C++ are scoping, overriding, overloading, templates, specialization, and the C heritage exposed in the built-in types. Here, we primarily focus on templates and overloading." http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2005/n1885.pdf http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2005/n1886.pdf,

A couple of questions on nptl and lib/tls
by Jerry Feldman 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

AFAIK, when building a threaded app currently to get the full NPTL you need to specify -I/usr/include/nptl (to get the NPTL header files) and -L/usr/lib/nptl (to link with the NPTL libraries). With the 2.6 kernel when building a normal threaded app, you get Linux Threads by default, but since some NPTL features are implemented in the kernel, you get some benefit. We had some questions about /lib/tls. What I have been able to find out is that this contains the libraries that support Thread Local Storage for NPTL. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf(a)blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

Fonts in SuSE's Mozilla:NotExists exists not.
by Steven T. Hatton 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

I know I could look in the source RPM and try to figure out the answer to this, but I'm not sure how successfully I would be. I've been having problems with MathML and Mozilla on SuSE 10. If I use the build from mozilla.org, I get a bunch of weird fonts from MathML pages. If I use the build from SuSE, I don't get the weird fonts, but I can't seen the glyph for &NotExists;. What I really want to know is if I should file a bug report with Mozilla, and/or SuSE. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0//EN" "HTMLFiles/xhtml-math11-f.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title> fundamentals-of-mathematics.xml </title> </head> <body> <mml:math xmlns:mml='http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML' id='peano-3'> <mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>&NotExists;</mml:mo> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>α</mml:mi> <mml:mo>&Element;</mml:mo> <mml:mi mathvariant='double-struck'>N</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo>&SuchThat;</mml:mo> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>α</mml:mi> <mml:mo>′</mml:mo> </mml:msup> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> </body> </html>
