Seeing that there was no quick solution to the problem of NN (not) running under SuSE 6.4 (it worked fine under 6.2), I decided to grab the latest sources I could find (labelled "6.5.6") and build it again. Now; it's been about 8 years since I last built nn, it was a bit of deja vu. But there were a few "funnies" encountered with the build under 6.4. 1) The linker failed when it was looking for libtermcap. I had one of them, but the linker failed to identify libtermcap.so.2* until I added a "libtermcap.so" symlink. Some sort of problem with 'ld' I guess. 2) The inews configuration called for a /var/spool/news/out.going/tmp to exist; posting failed until one was created with suitable permissions; chown news.news ; chmod ug+w,a+rx (keep the sticky group bit!) I'm using leafnode to fetch and post news. nn now works a treat. Minor problem with use on an xterm because the screen clears the final status message as the program exits. Works fine on the virtual consoles. -- Bernd Felsche - Innovative Reckoning Perth, Western Australia -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
