Well, here I go again....

try as I might, I can't "configure" X11 on my system...

     xinit:  can't load library '/lib/libc.2.2.2'

I downloaded SLS disk 7 & disks 11~15 (the X11 stuff) plus I picked up the
new Xlinux.8514 driver for the (emulated) ATI Ultra.  I thought I had followed
the instructions outlined in the README's & INSTALL notes.  pls help, I'm

Execute a system("stty min 1") at a suitable point in the program.

I was unable to find   0.97inc.tar.Z
Does anyone know where I should look?
I have installed everything else but if I try to run GCC, I
get an error that it cannot find a library file, which I assume
is part of the missing file.

Also, where do I find 
        make, sed, ln, and id       for Linux.

The install notes for GCC says that they are all necessary.

Could someone that is having this problem try out the recenly-posted SCSI
fix that initializes a SCSI array that was in the BSS to see if this fixes
the problem?  It might be that the two different problems are caused by
the same random data in the BSS when using certain loaders.

X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL4

Hi all,

I'm a student who has a 19" monitor (Unisys)  with a Microfield T8C video-card.
With this card a MS-windows driver was supplied. 
Since I'm running X386 on a BSD based system I really would like to
use the T8C to operate with X386. The following questions also applies to 
X386 on a Linux based system.
The questions I have are:

* Are there drivers for the Microfield T8C-card for X-windows. If this is
  the case, where can I obtain this and at what price? 

* I know there is a manual for programming the T8C-card. The name is:
  `Microprogrammer's reference manual for the T8C Color Graphics Controller`.
  Where can I get this manual?

* Does anyone know the adress of Microfield or perhaps an e-mail adress?

An other question I have is if someone has allready succesfully used a
19" monitor connected to a 1MB vga-card e.g. a et4000 based one.

Thanks,

Jim (jim@stack.urc.tue.nl)

Absolutely. At least, it worked for me, in about 10 minutes, counting the 
compile time. Piece of cake, no sweat, wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am. Just follow
the directions in the README up to step 5, substituting your Linux partition

lilo up and running. I wish I'd known it was this easy before--I'd've ditched

Why is it done this way?  This is kinda sloppy.  I know that
somethimes unix will forget to kill one of my processes, but it
doesn't seem to happen very often.  Why would linux be designed this
way?   

I think that all processes that aren't specifically nohup'ed should
have to die when their parents die.

From: nmspillers@ualr.edu
Date: 8 Sep 92 10:40:48 GMT
Organization: University of Arkansas at Little Rock

Hello and welcome to my first posting on this news group. . .

First of all, let me add my compliments and general awe to all who work
on this project--fantastic job guys, you have probably created the
Volkswagon of Unixes, no real snob value, but a loveable, durable solution that
gets the job done--the people's OS!

Anyhoo, the crux of my question is this--I'm working with Linux 0.96c
(no patches yet, I want to solve this problem first) and trying to compile
the kernel.  I usually get a general protection fault somewhere in the kernel
compile, this leads to a 4-11 meg (no lie!) core and the compile degenerates
into signal 11 and 6 compiler errors.  Ok, these usually mean you are running
out of space, and with cores that big I can understand that one, but the
few times I don't get a GP, I still get the signal 11's and 6's.  I *know*
that I still have about 10-15 megs free on the partition where my sources are,
could it be complaining about the swap space?

I did finally get an Image built by repeatedly firing the make sans clean until 
every module compiled (took a while!:-).  Now I know this is probably a 
*bad*, or at least inelegant solution, but it did give me a useable Image.
Ps compiled and installed without a hitch at all.  The only grumble I have
there is that when I was running top in an xterm, the sucker hit the 
warm boot interrupt!! (Talk about a unix coronary!)  But I believe that
one can be blamed on my screwy Image build (I think) and it only happened once
out of many times. . .

Does anyone have a solution? 

My system is:

AMD 386/40
TSENG 4000 video card with a meg
4 megs of ram
200 meg drive with 140 of it dedicated to Linux, and a 6 meg swap space
linux v96c (I was playing with .97, but decided to take the excellent advice
of some kind soul on this group and hang 1 version behind the cutting edge)

Could it merely be a memory problem?  If it's unix or a derivative, most
problems can be solved by an additional 4 megs (which, by the way, is on the
way!) and a larger swap space, or is it something with my bloody motherboard?
The infamous AMD timing problem?  Has that been affecting folks running
Linux?

Apologies if this has already been covered earlier in this news group, but
I didn't think this was a FAQ, and couldn't find any reference to it in the 
messages I've got here at my site.

Make sure you have appropriate permissions for all directories on the
way to /usr/src/linux/include/linux/types.h, i.e.  the permissions of
the file itself (it needs read permission for owner, group, and other),
and all directories (/, /usr, /usr/src, etc; these need at least execute
permission, possibly also read, for owner, group and other).

Do something like:

	chmod ugo+rx / /usr /usr/src /usr/src/linux
	chmod ugo+rx /usr/src/linux/include /usr/src/linux/include/linux
	chmod -R ugo+rx /usr/src/linux/include/linux

(not tested, I don't have time, sorry).

In some tar files of the kernel sources the directories have the wrong
permissions.

Make don't like line 411 in Makefile. It probably tries found colon (:) from 
that line. If that line contains (shell) command, it should

Hello, everybody!

After all this megaflaming and some advices a little piece of information for
those not yet capable of debugging the script - such as me ;-)

Get the comp1.1 through comp3.1 (it may be some other name these days, it was
1 month ago) in some ../images directory on tsx-11.mit.edu.

put them on the 3 disks, and run install - it will work fine! It is a very
nice written script with sufficient bloody yes/no-questions for any dos-user ;-)

Really, it worked like a champ - except one thing: I cannot link binaries
for X11 - they complain about some X11lib* which seem to be there...

I failed making gnuucp in file uuxqt.c (or something alike) because of an
union thing 'status' - which the compiler does not know the size of.

But I compiled the compression-program lha with a simple 'make', I could
compile Banner and gothic without a single warning, and I am proud of
that ;-) me a dos-user compiling things on unix which really *work* ;-)

Another little problem I am having I will write in article 'exec - how use it'.

Have a nice day, Michael Will

Along the lines of my last questions, about the progress of Linux over
the Summer, I've been seeing a lot of this (5 hours to recompile
kernel).  Is this because the kernel is bigger and GCC slower than
they were when we had 0.96, or are the auth}rs just running slow
machines?  I seem to recall about 15 minutes for a recompilation.

BTW, I've gotten several responses about what's new.  Thank you.  The
only question still un-answered was about my patches to selectively
allow foreign char. sets on VC's.  No one seems to know anyone about
them, so I guess a) I'm the only one who ever used them, and b)
they're not in the new kernel.

Subject: compiler errors under .97, problem solved !

Since 0.97 and up appeared, I was having some troubles compiling large 
programs (such as the kernel) under Linux. I was  getting errors such as:

	ld: premature end of file in strings of "somefile".o
  or 
	gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 6
  or 
	gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11

Well, after a lot SIMM swapping If finaly identified four 1Mx9 SIMMs that
were bad in my system.

I have a 486 33Mhz with 8Megs of RAM and the bad SIMMs were in the lower
bank.

It is funny that under 0.96cp2 I didn't have any problems and that the
public domain RAM tests that I run when I bought my system didn't detect 
anything !

Anybody knows about a good RAM test program ?

For those interested, the four bad SIMMs were made by Toshiba and I replaced 
them by Goldstars SIMMs. My four other SIMMs are made by Eagle (2) and
CuBig (2). All SIMMs are 1Mx9 3-chips. 

Hope this information can help.
