[SuSE Linux] Suse 5.3 and WindowMaker
by darreld＠his.com 05 Sep '98

Hi all, I'm installing Suse 5.3 for the first time. Been using Redhat for a while successfully and am running into some issues getting 5.3 up. I would like to use WindowMaker and got the latest release (0.19). Trying to build it I get the following: Making all in wrlib make[1]: Entering directory `/home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib' gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-implicit-int -Wcast-align -o testdraw testdraw.o -L. -lwraster -L/usr/X11R6/lib -ltiff -lXpm -lpng -lz -ljpeg -lXext -lX11 -lm testdraw.o: In function `testDraw': /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:85: undefined reference to `RPutPixel' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:100: undefined reference to `ROperatePixel' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:127: undefined reference to `RDrawSegments' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:131: undefined reference to `RDrawSegments' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:142: undefined reference to `ROperateSegments' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:153: undefined reference to `ROperateLine' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:154: undefined reference to `ROperateLine' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:157: undefined reference to `ROperateLine' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:158: undefined reference to `ROperateLine' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:168: undefined reference to `RDrawLine' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:174: undefined reference to `RDrawLine' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:187: undefined reference to `ROperateLine' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:191: undefined reference to `ROperateLine' testdraw.o: In function `drawClip': /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:352: undefined reference to `RDrawSegments' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:361: undefined reference to `ROperateSegments' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:362: undefined reference to `ROperateSegments' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:364: undefined reference to `RGetPixel' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:366: undefined reference to `RDrawLine' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:367: undefined reference to `RGetPixel' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:368: undefined reference to `RDrawLine' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:370: undefined reference to `RGetPixel' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:372: undefined reference to `RDrawLine' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:373: undefined reference to `RGetPixel' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:374: undefined reference to `RDrawLine' testdraw.o: In function `benchmark': /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:468: undefined reference to `RDrawLine' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:482: undefined reference to `RDrawLine' /home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib/testdraw.c:495: undefined reference to `ROperateLine' make[1]: *** [testdraw] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/darreld/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 Anybody recognize the references?

[SuSE Linux] wvdail down script needed
by roberto＠cbvcp.com 05 Sep '98

05 Sep '98

Hello all, with the some aid, i was able to get wvdial to work finally, and it's a good program. my only problem now is if i dial using a link on my desktop (kde), it dials up. but when i want it off, i used my ppp-down script, and it forced wvdial down, but i couldn't use wvdial a second time, as the process was still running. is there a solution to this, besides kill -9 PID, in the way of a wvdial-down script? -- Aaron Seelye Running S.u.S.E. 5.2 <A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto"><A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</A">http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

I would have to strongly agree. I had came over from running RedHat for about a year. I had tried numerous times to get help from different news groups and lists but seems that most had nothing but garbage to offer. This group is the only one that I have stayed with and learned from. I also try to help when I can. I enjoy they way people try to help others like it is a hobbie and not a tech support line. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at <A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com"><A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com</A">http://www.hotmail.com</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Re: [SuSE Linux] WVDIAL and .... what after?
by karcher＠idworld.net 05 Sep '98

First thing I would do is run wvdial in a window and watch the message print out to make sure that it really is running. Try that and, if it isn't connecting, let me know what it says. >(1) Wvdial connects and starts pppd. I wait and nothing seems to >happen.

Re: [SuSE Linux] Kppp...revisited

Steve Have you read the README that comes with wvdial? I had the same problem and the solution is to create the configuration file (/etc/wvdial.config). May I have some feedback from you? J C -----Original Message----- From: Steve Mills <steve(a)millsphoto.com> To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Date: Saturday, September 05, 1998 1:51 AM Subject: [SuSE Linux] Kppp...revisited Ok, so the wvdial thing failed on my box. Why, nobody is sure. Not even wvdial has an answer. It absolutely can't find my modem. So I have gone back to trying Kppp since it could at least dial out, and what do I learn but that I needed to enter commands in a script (duh) and I never tried this before. See the light bulb over my head? :) Expect login Send my login-ppp Expect password Send my password This is all logical, but it sticks at the password part and I get disconnected. Here is my question (finally): does the password need extra text, same as my login needed to have -ppp added to it? Or is there a 5th command that is needed? Such as "Start ppp"? Additionally, at the suggestion of my ISP, I have renamed /pap-secrets so it wouldn't be used. That isn't a problem here. Advice? Thanks.
