GNU configure problem
by jim.sabatke＠mchugh.com 27 Jul '99

27 Jul '99

I'm having a strange problem that started about the time I upgraded to KDE 1.1.1. Now when I run configure, I always get the message: "checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specifiy one" uname -a returns: "Linux yoda 2.2.7 #17 Fri Apr 30 20:00:10 MEST 1999 i686 unknown" I can get configure to work by defining the "host" variable, but something is not right. Any ideas? Thanks, Jim -- Confession is good for the soul - But hell on the reputation. Unk.

HP 2100TN

Hi, I got SuSE 5.3 with kernel update 2.2.10. I got a network with firewall, masq. Looks like this: <---->win Internet<-->SUSE<--->HUB<---->HP printer <---->win Now my question. I like to install this printer over the hub to my Linux box and then make the Windows machines print over the Linux box. The HP got a ethernet port. Anybody ever got this to work? Don't send me to the how-to. I read it and there is a three liner about HP printers. Very helpful*grin* and the HP website is all Windows.

Suse Linux 6.1: not working programs
by migdalas＠dias.ergasya.tuc.gr 27 Jul '99

27 Jul '99

Hi! After installing SuSE Linux 6.1 I'm having troubles with a few of the programs: xemacs, kcmikbd, kiconedit and iv tools. > xemacs & XOpenIM{} failed ... no input server available. Now, xemacs starts and allows me to write english, but MULE doesn't allow me to change input method to Greek! MULE/Set Language Environment/Greek --->OK! No problem MULE/Toggle Input Method --->Message: Can't activate input method `greek? MULE/Select Input Method/Greek --->Message: No valid input method was selected Although it does display greek text. >/opt/kde/bin/kcmikbd Segmentation fault. Needles to say, that International Keyboard doesn't function (I need badly to be able to write Greek). Also the iv tools like idraw require the jpeg library 5, though there is only the jpeg library 6 in the system. So they do not work. Neither is it possible to fool them (as some times may be done) by creating a link to 6, since idraw segments faults then. Is there a way of having both versions of the jpeg library in the system without conflicts? Is there a compiled version of iv tools for jpeg 6? Finally kiconedit, while it allows you to edit icons, it gets crasy when you try to save, filling the desktop with warnings, so that you need to xkill it or restart the xserver. Are there any updates for these products for SuSe Linux 6.1? Could you help, please!

I am desirous of doing the same with AfterStep. Seems that SuSE 6.1 is not as up-to-date to do this either??? How about AfterStep in 6.2?

Re: [suse-linux-e] Character resolution in Star Office / Xfstt
by G4OTY＠compuserve.com 27 Jul '99

27 Jul '99

Hi all I dl'd xfstt-0.9.99-2 RPM and had trouble installing it - looked like I needed a couple of C++ compiler? shared libs that aren't in 6.1. I put out a call for help to which Faber Fedor and Jerry Kreps generously replied (many thanks guys) but after following up their suggestions I decided I was a bit out of my depth. So....I've just dloaded the previous version: "xfstt-0.9.7-2 RPM for i386" (from what might have been a Red Hat site). Andrew, if you do a search using the string I just quoted, you should find it easily enough. It looks more compatible with 6.1. Tonight I hope to find out if it works. Keep your fingers crossed...I'll let you know how I got on. BTW, suse-r(a)iname.com also posted some help pleas about trying to make it from the tarball. Haven't heard anything further on this so don't know if he/she succeeded. 73 Mike G4OTY. Winsley, Wilts, UK.

It's a font server for True Type fonts, and it sounds like you need it, or something similar! ...snip... Can't remember offhand where I donwloaded it from, but I think you should find it easily enough - If not, get back and I'll remember where I got it from.
