[S.u.S.E. Linux] Postgres 6.3.2
by kiril＠u.washington.edu 18 Jun '98

18 Jun '98

Has anybody been able to load postgres 6.3.2 with SuSE 5.1? For some reason I can not get psql to compile in the make. The version of postgres that came with SuSE 5.1--postgres 6.2-- seems to load off the distribution disks with no problem. Although I would much prefer that SuSE loaded postgres in /usr/local/pgsql and not in /usr/bin. Thanks for any help.

Prematurely out-of-round wheels... Entries like this makes me wonder how well, if at all, you check your stories. 1) when I checked this morning the url from your article ends up at SSC's "page not found" message. the correct url for the 49th issue seems to be url:<A HREF="http://www.ssc.com/lj/issue49"><A HREF="http://www.ssc.com/lj/issue49</A">http://www.ssc.com/lj/issue49</A</A>> 2) at the time I checked (a little before nine in the morning, june 17th, Central European Daylight Savings Time), I was unable to find any references to data aquisition or trains. But then again, if this is an attempt to up your list's comedy appeal, you've succeeded. -- Peter N. M.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Networking - Internet
by kc8chq＠juno.com 17 Jun '98

As a Linux "newbie" I have many questions concerning setting internet access configuration. Though I've managed to install SuSE 5.2, Debian 1.3.0, RedHat 5.0 and OS/2 3.0 all on same HDD I've not managed to wade through all the HOW-TOs on setting up my internet access, which would include PPP and non-PPP(one person on this list cordially sent me info on what his scripts looked like). I'm spending time in "The Linux Bible" as well the HOW-TOs provided with 5.2(assuming them to be more up to date), but can anyone recommend a concise book on what appears to be a rather "disconnected" subject. Under KDE I can dial my modem, but get no further(I obviously have not configured the system completely). Right now this is a puzzle and I'm not certain, which pieces are needed to complete it. Any suggestions as to where I can look? Also, when I start SDB and Netscape comes up it looks for URLs, but of course, can not get to them. When I start Netscape, alone, as focus moves with the mouse cursor Netscape goes black when when the mouse is over the desktop, but the desktop goes blurry, resolution goes very bad(I'm using the standard background) with multiple colors. My video card is a Diamond Stealth 3D(not the Pro). Also, any ideas on this?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] SuSE 5.2 ANd PPP Performance
by darkstar＠charm.net 17 Jun '98

Installation worked like a charm. This is a good package from my first impressions. However, it seems that ppp performance is poor. After recompiling the kernel used is 2.0.33. Is there a known problem wth this? I've looked at the thread history for this list and I haven't noticed this mentioned, but I thought I aw this mentioned in the linux newsgroups.
