gcc-2.95.3 can't compile a c++ sample SuSE 8.2 x86
by Stefan Parvu 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

Hi, I would like to report a problem about compiling a simple code with gcc (g++) from: /opt/gcc295/bin/gcc Im using the old gcc compiler. stefan@jupiter:~> gcc --version 2.95.3 stefan@jupiter:~> which gcc /opt/gcc295/bin/gcc Lyx-1.3.2 can't compile using gcc-2.95.3 due some problems I think with libstd++ . Have a look: #include <qglobal.h> #include <qstring.h> #ifdef F77_DUMMY_MAIN # ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" # endif int F77_DUMMY_MAIN() { return 1; } #endif int main () { QString s("mangle_failure"); #if (QT_VERSION < 221) break_me_(\\); #endif ; return 0; } This code works fine with gcc-3.3.1 When I set my PATH to /opt/gcc295/bin the compiler will give: stefan@jupiter:~> export PATH=/opt/gcc295/bin:$PATH stefan@jupiter:~> g++ -O -Wno-non-template-friend -ftemplate-depth-30 -I/usr/lib/qt3/include -L/usr/lib/qt3/lib -isystem /usr/X11R6/include test.cc -lSM -lICE -lc -lm -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lqt /tmp/ccRoZCNx.o(.text+0x13): In function `main': : undefined reference to `QString::QString(char const *)' /tmp/ccRoZCNx.o(.text+0x23): In function `main': : undefined reference to `QString::shared_null' /tmp/ccRoZCNx.o(.text+0x2e): In function `main': : undefined reference to `QStringData::deleteSelf(void)' /tmp/ccRoZCNx.o(.text+0x4c): In function `main': : undefined reference to `QString::shared_null' /tmp/ccRoZCNx.o(.text+0x57): In function `main': : undefined reference to `QStringData::deleteSelf(void)' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status any idea what can we do. Lyx132 can't compile because ./configure fails exactly to this point. Many thanks Stefan

Gcc3.3.1 static variables issue
by Lukacs Zsolt 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

Hello list I have ask it on another list but there was no answer. So I will try it here. I have upgraded to the new gcc3.3.1 from the SuSE ftp site my box (SuSE 8.2) and I tried to compile mplayer but it does not succeded. The compilation went just fine, but there was a problem with the linker. It seems that if a variable/function is declared static it does not see it resulting in an undefined reference. I have upgraded the following packages: cpp-3.3.1-0.i586.rpm gcc-c++-3.3.1-0.i586.rpm libstdc++-3.3.1-0.i586.rpm gcc-3.3.1-0.i586.rpm libgcc-3.3.1-0.i586.rpm libstdc++-devel-3.3.1-0.i586.rpm Do I have to install some other package? Any help would be apreciated. Thanks Zsolt

Yast2 from the console problem
by Donn aka n5xwb Washburn 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

Hey SuSE folks; Again I wish to let you know that there is a problem with Yast2 mounting CDs correctly. During a "Install and Remove Software" Yast asks for a CD #? and then complains that it is not the correct CD. Problem is that the CD has not been mounted. If I manually mount it Yast is happen and will do as I requested. This happens for sure as a console and may also happen in X. I do have all updates/patches as recent as today. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb(a)hal-pc.org Info: http://www.knoppix.net

[alg] SOT - MS verus Linux ?
by Donn aka n5xwb Washburn 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

Hey Group; I am trying to convert some people to Linux. As a person that has not used Windows in over eight years I am not certain of the current limitations of Windows when compared to Linux. I know of its basic headaches like crash, poor memory usage, lack of reasonable security, virus problems and license cost. I hear most often concerns about linux - "lack of help". I normally reply with "When was the last time you emailed Bill Gates and got a answer? I have emailed an heard from just about any Linux software maintainer I have ever emailed in less than a day". However, I am in need of some of you that use or used Windows and know of its less obvious problems to add to my "Linux Benefits" list. If possible seperate into versions - 9x, ME, XP, NT/2K and their Sever systems. (Not to mention Microsoft "Services for UNIX 3.0"). Unless it is like yesterdays "Swiss cheese" security flaw. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb(a)hal-pc.org Info: http://www.knoppix.net SOT = (S)ort of (O)ff (T)opic

spammers attached to the SuSE list
by gary 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

For several months now, I have posted to this group from time to time, and I have noticed that as soon as I post, there is an attempt to spam me immediately upon my post. This happens on *every* post, within a fraction of a second of posting, so it is not coincidental. This comes not from the list group per se, but from some spammers who have attached themselves or subscribed to the list, and run small scripts directing their spam upon a post, or at least mine. These are taken from my SMTP logs. Initially, it came from one source, mail-in3.tiscali.be:62.235.13.190, and this has been going on for months. and now he has a brother mail-in1.tiscali.be:62.235.13.191 Notice two separate attempts from 2 different IPs. Now, we also have new.. forward.012.net.il:80.179.100.86 Let us not forget the latest and newest spam addition from tw... dsl.pl.apol.com.tw:218.187.133.220 All have and will continue to be blocked at the SMTP level, but I mention this to the list so that you can do the same., I have noticed this on other lists, but now with 4 spammers attached on this list, as of this morning, I thought I would make mention of it. 62.235.13.0/24 80.179.100.86 218.187.133.220 -- Gary

xspread
by Michael George 01 Sep '03

01 Sep '03

Anyone know where I can find the source or home page for xspread? I am running 8.2Pro and I got the RPM from 7.3 from the SuSE FTP site and it works, but it must be very old. I have googled, and though I can find many references to xspread, none of them take me to a homepage for it. I have some old files that I'd like to be able to access with it and know if it's even still being maintained. If not, I guess I'll have to try to print to PS the tables I have and live with that... Thanks! -Michael

NVidia on 8.2 Help
by William Westfall 01 Sep '03

01 Sep '03

Found this info on a support list and am passing it along for those still having problems. Did it all from a terminal window and rebooted into safe mode for the install. Works great now. Hope it helps. 1) Kernel sources must be installed and configured. Usually this means installing the 'kernel-source' RPM with YaST2 and configure it then with the following commands: cp /boot/vmlinuz.config /usr/src/linux/.config cp /boot/vmlinuz.version.h /usr/src/linux/include/linux cp /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h /usr/src/linux/include/linux cd /usr/src/linux make cloneconfig dep 2) Use the nvidia installer. export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=yes sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run 3) Enable 3D support with SaX2.
