Hi: Does Suse 7.3 come with binutils? I bought the second hand laptop and the previous owner installed suse 7.3 on it. I can't find binutils .. should it be installed in /usr/bin by linux default? (of course i can always grab the code and install it at /usr/local). The reason I am asking this is that I found that there are a couple of software with mutiple copies (different versions) scattered around in different directories ...confusing and eating up disk space (it has only 6GB for linux). I am trying to clean up .. TIA _gahn __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - online filing with TurboTax http://taxes.yahoo.com/

It's always there. On any distribution.
hand laptop and the previous owner installed suse 7.3 on it. I can't find binutils .. should it be installed
Did you try rpm -q binutils? -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A. P. J.

Hi, Has anyone managed to build OpenOffice under SuSE 7.3? I'm trying to build the developer release 642 but dmake crashes out with an error: unable to find the library libstlport_gcc.so in the solver tree. I have a feeling it's an OO problem rather than a SuSE one but I thought I'd ask here anyway. :-) One of the little things that is niggling me is that I'm using gcc 2.95.3 (comes with 7.3 as default), but 2.95.2 or 3.02 are the recommended compilers for OO. Is this likely to be a problem? (i.e. are the differences between 2.95.2 and 2.95.3 significant?) Is there an RPM for gcc 3.02 or later available for SuSE 7.3? If not has anyone successfully built it from the sources? Are there any problems I should look out for in doing so? TIA David.

David, I had built gcc 3.04 from the sources on a SuSE 7.2 machine with full development packages installed. I didn't run into a single problem. (Just a note, remove the old gcc rpm before you begin so you don't lose track of the version installed.)

Aaargghhh! This surely can't be difficult to do .... My CD burner died recently (Very old Ricoh SCSI device) and considering that my CDROM was an old 6x speed drive I decided to upgrade both to a new DVD-CD-RW unit. I got the Ricoh MP9200A EIDE drive. The hardware installation was the easy bit. The bios recognises it but SuSE 7.3 refuses to. Running hardware information in yast2 identifies the drive correctly, no problem. I am now able to mount a data CD (edited fstab manually). However, I have been unable to persuade the CD player or XMMS to recognise the drive. I have also been unable to get KonCD to recognise it. I can't figure out what needs to be done - yast is no help at all. :-/ Right now I'm going to have a go at burning a CD from the command line instead. sigh. Any suggestions and help would be welcome. I'd really like to listen to music again while I work. TIA David. -- --

Have you looked at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xmcd/config/config.sh ? Try running the script and then see if it works. What is /dev/dsp pointing to also ? /Dee W.D.McKinney deem@wdm.com ¡Cada uno necesita a señor! -----Original Message----- From: dwb [mailto:david.bartlett@ntlworld.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 12:48 PM To: Suse Linux Subject: [SLE] Won't recognise CD-ROM upgrade Aaargghhh!

No such directory as xmcd exists under X11 in the path above on my system. I have 7.3 installed pretty much out of the box. points to dsp0. Sound still works, I can play wavs, MP3s etc. The CD player loads without error but says "ejected". Pressing play just does nothing. :-( David.

I had an issue with sound on my 7.3 system until I set up a mixer app and turned up all the volume settings. xmcd is for X11 CD app "xmcd", a very nice motif app for CD playing. Do you have "sox" installed per chance ? /Dee -----Original Message----- From: dwb [mailto:david.bartlett@ntlworld.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 1:47 PM To: W.D.McKinney; suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] Won't recognise CD-ROM upgrade On Wednesday 24 April 2002 23:21, W.D.McKinney wrote:
