But when trying to install the TriTeal base, rpm gripes about needing portmap. Hmmm, Tri Teal issue I suppose. Although, I'll be damned if I understand why portmap is NOW running.

Hi all, I'm trying to get portmap to run for an installation of CDE. The CDE installation fails, saying portmap is required but not running. It's set up to run by default in /etc/rc.config After running strace on it I get this... strace /usr/sbin/portmap (extraneous crap deleted) open("/usr/share/i18n/locale.alias", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open(ptrace: umoven: I/O error 0x804ed38, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/usr/share/locale/C/libc.cat", 0xbfffef70) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/usr/share/locale/libc/C", 0xbfffef70) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/usr/local/share/locale/C/libc.cat", 0xbfffef70) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory Why should I care about my locale for a system daemon? And better yet, how to fix?

I suggest you either switch to decaf or get a faster modem. I appreciated getting the script. Jim Hatridge wrote: > Steven; > > Thank you for something I already have.

Should I just download it from ftp.xemacs.org? Xemacs worked fine for me under S.u.S.E., except some problems with the backspace key...(on my personal setup...I do very weird things with keyboards though, including disabling the X extension.) So I downloaded the binaries from xemacs.org, and it woked fine (large download though.)

Steven; Thank you for something I already have. I did not need this and I dislike having to pay to download it.
