Jed SuSE 9.1

Figured this would be the list to send this to as it concerns a programming editor. Was reading a Linux programming book and it mentioned an editor named JED. I have seen Jedit but this was something different. Was surprised to find that there is no version available in the SuSE 9.1 distribution and I have been unable to find any prepared version available for SuSE 9.1 Before I download the sources and try and build from there I thought I would ask the fine members of this list if anyone has any idea why its not in the distribution as I have seen mention of the editor in earlier version of SuSE. Thanks for the help! Charley Rogue1953 @earthlink.net

Is SuSE 64 bit ?
by Colin Carter 02 Sep '04

02 Sep '04

Does anybody know if SuSE 64 bit system is really 64 bit code? I can't seem to get any response from SuSE staff regarding the questions: 1: If I define int i; and real x; do I get 64 bit integer and float if compiled under 64? 2: Where does one find the definitions in the SuSE system? For example, where is the definition for the structure of XSizeHints ? Where is the definition of the function prototypes for the 64 bit functions? Maybe the 'average' programmer can ignore such issues, but I want to use FORTRAN to do the number crunching and I need to know if I should pass an integer(KIND=4) or integer(KIND=8) Regards, Colin

I almost agree with you JDL. C++ programmers tend to be 'function orientated' whereas FTN programmers tend to be 'in line' orientated. Perhaps it is often a matter of programming style which makes the most difference. But one must always keep in mind two things: these days many languages are initially, partially compiled down to the same pseudo-language for a latter step, and FOTRAN has been under development by very (and I mean very) experienced people for a very long time and scientific programmers still turn to FORTRAN. I started this question, but must apologise for not been very active: mainly because my email address has changed, I still have difficulty getting onto the internet (impossible with my SuSE Linux machine), I still cannot link an X Window program, and I am in the middle of moving house from England to Australia. (And must visit family before I depart.) But I have been reading, with interest, all of your comments. I promise to try a summary ASAP.

Problem in output to a kinit process
by Sanjay Upadhyay 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

Hi All, greetings. I am trying to get a kerberos ticket with the help of a perl script, so that it is automated. The script works in Redhat however in Suse, I am encountering problem, where the kinit process waits for user input, however the requirement is that it should not wait as I am writing the password to STDIN of the process. Here is my code, as I am quite new, I may have a wrong understanding. Any help would be most thankfull. ======This program is in Perl===== #!/usr/bin/env perl use warnings; open (WTR, "| kinit Administrator\(a)IN.CAL 2> error.txt"); print WTR "password\n"; print WTR "\n"; close WTR; ====== With a simple one liner echo "freevision" | klist Administrator(a)IN.CAL it works OK in MIT version of kinit, but stands still for user in put in Suse... regards Saneax

pthreads
by Brad Bourn 31 Aug '04

Can someone from SuSE verify that on 2.4 kernels, separate pthreads of the same process will show up with ps having separate PID's? Isn't that against the standard? B-)

If the destination rectangle is larger than the source rectangle, this function stretches the rows and columns of color data to fit the destination rectangle. If the destination rectangle is smaller than the source rectangle, this function compresses the rows and columns by using the specified raster operation.

Thank you to Stefan Hundhammer and John Lamb and William Mahaffey for your suggestions; which I now need to digest and try. But Stefan, I do need to care about the size of my integers: It is generally faster to use the native word size of any computer, and I need the accuracy and speed. But most importantly, if my FOTRAN code calls the X-Window API then I need to hand over the correct size integer. I had found the includes, as per my sample, but my big problem is in the linking. Is ther some special environment value that I need? )I need special environmnet values for my FTN.) Thanks for any more advice. Regards, Colin (a 61 year old 'newbie')

Derek, (I hope that I have replied in the correct way.) An X-Window book I have describes how to set up an icon thus: #define IWidth 64 #define Iheight 64 static char Ibits[] = { 0x00, 0x00, ..........etc 0x04, 0x01, etc etc }; PixMap IPixMap; And then creates the image as IPixMap = XCreateBitmapFromData( theDisplay, theNewWindow, Ibits, IWidth, Iheight ); You could write your own data into the char variable and use the above converter. I am a raw beginner, so I don't know if this helps, but it the way an old fashioned programmer would do it. Regards, Colin
