Redhat-7.0 uses a beta version of gcc/g++ which uses a new and incompatible name mangling convention so you cannot run c++ programs compiled with earlier versions of g++ on redhat-7.0 and vice versa (unless you statically link them, but c++ statically linked programs are absolutely huge.) The egcs people seem to suggest that they will be returning to the old name mangling convention before releasing the next version (as I read it) and were a bit upset that redhat included the beta g++ (but it is a more advanced/standards compliant version.) > Could this be because I have my hard drive in 32 bit mode and maybe > server in 16 bit mode? No such thing in Linux -- see above. > Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this? I find this confusing > because I downloaded from another companies site once and it worked > on my suse. You probably should take a look at www.dejanews.com, www.google.com, the archive of the egcs lists at www.cygnus.com, or the archives of the redhat lists (if you can find them) for an answer -- there was quite a bit of anger when people first found out about the problem, so there is probably an answer in there somewhere (I gave redhat-7.0 a miss myself.)

I can't figure out how to get my SuSE v6.4 partition to print to a HP DeskJet 612C running in WIn95 on another platform on my LAN. Samba sees the printer, but klpq can't find it. I would appreciate pointers in the right direction to find a solution to this problem. -- Stephen P.

Recommended CD-RW EIDE ( DVD?)

I was at the SuSE hardware database, saw many CD -RW that are listed as supported , but pages don't go into detail on how well they work with linux. Are there some better know rewritable cd burners for linux? How about DVD, are there any that play DVD as well? I realize DVD isn't supported in linux, but if it played in windows and the cd-rw worked in linux, that would be ok. This is a christmas present for our son, currently running SuZSE 6.3, any recommendations will be sincerely appreciated. thanks, joe

I just installed 7.0 (a clean install), including KDE 1. All seems to work well, but when I close down the X server I numerous repetitions of "Kmix : Could not write to mixer". The sound card is a Soundblaster Live Value and has the appropriate driver. The Kmix runs and works fine. The various /dev/mixer devices have the same permissions as all other devices. Any ideas please ? Thanks in anticipation. Geoff __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com

Problem with PHP4 and Apache

(apache is compiled with the following options: --enable-modules=all --enable-shared=max) and php4 iscompiled with oracle, xml, and apxs, and compiled exactly as the instructions say) php4 builds and installs fine into /usr/local/apache/libexec/. However, when I start apache, (apachectl start) it says blah: apache started but the main server process will then die, giving me nothing to go on. Anyone have any ideas? This is a SMP box with 1 gig or ram running SuSE 7.0. Thanks greatly, Chuck Chuck Carson Sr. Systems Engineer 858.909.3505 Office eBuilt.com 760.212.5899 Mobile San Diego, CA
