The directory needs to be executable in order to change to it, the directory being executable does not determine weather the files can be executed, only the files themselves.

bash script
by Veronica Hernandez 18 Mar '03

18 Mar '03

Hello folks. I am new to this list, and pretty new to programming/scripting and Linux/Unix in general. So I beg your patience and your assistance. I have written a simple script that I want to execute as a cgi script called from a web page. When I run the code by copying and pasting it in an open shell session, it executes just fine, but when I try to execute it as a command within the shell or call it from a web page, it fails. The first line of my script is #!/bin/bash and I have tried to execute my script by typing: xxx.cgi I get bash: xxx.cgi command not found . xxx.cgi I get bash: .xxx.cgi command not found I have played fith file permissions on my script and have it set to SUID: -rwsr-xr-x I am not sure it my problem is script related or permissions related...or something else entirely. I wrote it in bash since bash seems to be the default shell. Any suggestions? Thanks. Vacme

Broken numeric_limits<> in GCC3.2 (aka SuSE8.1)
by Michael Stevens 18 Mar '03

18 Mar '03

Dear All, I recently compiled some important numeric applications I have under SuSE8.1 I was shocked to find that some of the major compiler/host config for GCC3.2 has not been done! The problem can be reproduced with the simple test program. #include <limits> #include <iostream> int main() { std::cout << std::numeric_limits<float>::has_infinity << std::endl; std::cout << std::numeric_limits<float>::infinity() << std::endl; } The problem is common to all the type traits, not just infinity, and all the real types, not just float. Looking in /usr/include/g++/limits the "__glibcpp_float_XXX" macro's control this behaviour. The macros appear in the context of the following lines in the header. // FIXME: These are just stubs and inkorrect #ifndef __glibcpp_float_infinity #define __glibcpp_float_infinity 0.0 #endif etc. Clearly SuSE has not completed the compiler/host config for GCC3.2 Looking in /usr/include/g++/i486-suse-linux/bits the header c++config.h provides no more useful definition for the "__glibcpp_float_XXX" macros. Can anyone else confirm this. Or indeed confirm this has been fixed! Given that non of these numeric_limits are defined in the distributed GCC package, I assume they were also not correctly defined when the other packages in the distro were compiled. I wonder if the numeric results from any of the packages using C++ are effected! Michael Stevens

Hello, I'm Massimiliano, an italian SuSE user. I wish to add a new feature to KMail (when I click over a message I don't want that the program changes the message status to "read"). How to do it? I have downloaded kdenetwork's source tree from kde.org, and I wish to use KDevelop to do it, but I don't know the right sequence to start. Can anyone help me?

Detecting File System type
by Greg Freemyer 13 Mar '03

13 Mar '03

All, I'm going to do some work on rdiff-backup. It's written in Python. (I'm a python newbie) I want to be able to detect the filesystem type of the target directory. (i.e. ext2/xfs/reiser/NTFS/FAT etc.). Is there a good way to get that info? It would be really nice if the method worked in Linux and Win32, but that maybe too much to hope for.

Hi, I just subscribed to this mailing list. Can anybody recommend any good mailing lists on Linux programming. I like getting and giving suggestions, but this one seems a bit slow. Thanks Marius Roets

re[2]: [suse-programming-e] Python newbie question

Thanks, That did the trick, but it seems strange to me to need the devel package. I don't know python, but I would not expect to need to install a c-devel package to compile c code.
