[SLE] unresolved symbols
by yatsenng＠casema.net 31 Mar '00

Hi there, I just recompiled a new and I didn't do anything out of the ordinary.However, during boot I get a whole list of unresolved symbols. What's the deal with that and how can I solve this? By the way, is there a good Linux book out there that deals with these kind of problems? Thanks. -- Yatsen Ng yatsenng(a)casema.net Den Haag, The Netherlands It said "Needs Windows 95 or better".

Of course, and I should have thought about it, VM is another avenue. More moderate in its possibilities, but also more moderate to get started with. All of Gnus, VM, and RMAIL work with BBDB. Even if you are not going to listen to me or maybe not even believe me, let me advise you against BBDB. Me too was seduced by BBDB to the point it just became part of my life. As years went, it grew so big that performance progressively degraded, very slowly, very insidiously, to the point it became wholly unbearable. The real problem is that you just do not walk away of BBDB like that! By comparison, it is much more easy going through a divorce! :-) The collected data had become very valuable over time, you can not merely dismiss it. I had to stick with BBDB, against my will, for a long time after the critical point was reached. It took me many months of regular work to achieve the core of the cleanup, and I kept archives for nearly two years, and special machinery to get at them, before throwing BBDB out of my life, finally, for real. In my case: never, never again! -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

I've been playing around with SB PCI128 on a user's machine - great sounding card for little dosh. How's support under Linux - do I need Alsa or is there a suitable kernel driver?

I've got to upload a web page to my forthcoming site which has a Linux driver area - and one of the areas is the SoundBlaster Cards, Including Live! and 128, etc. I know you will get lots of responses from this on how to set it up - but you will know for future reference if no one answers your call.

It would now be painful for me to do without it. The user interface is not as flashy as in some other tools, but I'll trade off some chrome for a better engine, any time! :-) Of course, there is the Babyl reader (called RMAIL) in Emacs, but you then have to work a bit hard to integrate MIME and other modern features. Gnus seems to be a much better bet. Yet, here, I should be honest enough to say I'm using both: Gnus for incoming mail, RMAIL for most archive folders. I wrote some interfacing code so opening a Babyl file automatically triggers the Gnus reader on it, so I may have a bit of the best of both worlds... > 1) Any thoughts on emacs v xemacs This is a delicate question, as there is a bit of a religious war between both. I'm using Emacs now, and gave XEmacs a serious try, but not recently. XEmacs was significantly slowing down on me while handling big files, to the point of irritation. Maybe it is just OK with small files -- but I do have many big email folders. RMAIL was not well supported either, and at the time of my try, I had `TM' (another MIME processor) in the way. On the other hand, XEmacs is much more appealing if you consider its user interface. > 2) How easy (am an relative newbie) is it to configure mail for these. > Am currently using kmail, via smtp. Admittedly, Gnus is not easy to get started. I believe it is worth the effort, given mail is central in your work. (It is for me, as I turn a good deal of the information I keep into messages, if not already.) I could offer you my configuration files, but I confess they might appear overwhelming, as I tuned Gnus a lot towards my own habits and desires. You could join the `ding' mailin list if you feel ready to honestly do your good share of the work. There is a lot of competent and helping people there, but the list is more meant for involved people than pure beginners. -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
