    Tar question

    so you want to flatten the heirarchy? what happens if you have a/b/c/foo and a/b/x/foo ???? Wouldn't tar overwrite the first w/ the second? You can do it by walking the tree and making a flat directory of symlinks and giving tar the -h (?) (resolve links) option.

    So get libxpm. It compiles easily under Darwin

    compiling xchat

    The 'make' failed because the binary 'msgfmt' wasn't found. Msgfmt is part of the gettext package from gnu.org I haven't looked at xchat but there is a strong possibility that there is a configure option like --disable-nls, I would try that first.

    Missing chown & misleading man pages

    chown is located in /usr/sbin. Many times, the default PATH for users does NOT include that or /sbin because those are administrator type commands and not really usable by the unwashed masses of users. If that is the case, just add it to the PATH

    windowing stuff and cc/gcc

    well its hard w/o the exact error message. You should have config.guess and config.sub in /usr/libexec. I can't explain why you dont. The compiler should be /usr/bin/cc [hjmpbg3:~/Documents/sw/ddd-3.3.1] howardm% which cc /usr/bin/cc [hjmpbg3:~/Documents/sw/ddd-3.3.1] howardm% cc -v...

    SSH Problem

    something in the 10.0.4 update mangled ssh a bit. You need to force protocol version 1 'ssh -1 machine_name' or via the ssh config file. Or you can install the latest openssh s/w

    root perms and performance issues

    It's a truly horrible idea to be root (ie. full priv's) all the time.

    windowing stuff and cc/gcc

    the compiler gets installed as 'cc' and 'c++'. Most configure scripts are looking for 'gcc' or 'g++'. Make a symlink. Or, do a 'setenv CC cc' before running configure. Verify you do in fact have a compiler by 'which cc'. You'll want to 'cp /usr/libexec/config* .' in the working...

    OS X on a Sun blade 100 desktop

    there is no way an SS10 came w/ an FFB. They didn't start showing up until the Ultra series of machines. Do a 'dmesg' and look through the it to see what video card you have on the Sbus.

    OS X on a Sun blade 100 desktop

    SS10's usually came w/ CG6 or TurboGX graphics cards. The standard resolution was 1152x900 at 8 bit depth. I'd have to look (we still have a few 10's and 20's running around the office doing stuff) to see how/if it's adjustable but those graphics cards were fixed frequency from what I...

    Network Time Server Update

    Use the Apple supplied 'ntpdate' commadn and specify a specific time server on the command line. Must be done under sudo or root. Of course, Apple doesn't supply man page for it (like so many other system utilities) (Hey, it's a Mac!). Bullshit. The top of the man page from my Solaris...

    Has anybody successfully compiled x3270?

    I did a google search and went to the x3270 home page adn picked up the latest version. Sorry, I dont recall what it was and I have since deleted it (since we thankfully got rid of our mainframe a long time ago). Like I said, the need for xpm isn't clear other than for cgywin which just...

    Has anybody successfully compiled x3270?

    Your missing the xpm library or the linker couldn't find at link time. <time passes> This is odd. I just successfully compiled x3270 and there are no references that can see at all for using the xpm library other than for a cygwin botch (which shouldn't matter here).

    nfs mounting a directory

    Are you sure mountd is running on the other machine? Check w/ the rpcinfo & showmount commands.

    nfs mounting a directory

    Sounds like you dont have the portmap daemon running. Also, dont use ~user, use the absolute path

    nfs mounting a directory

    You can do via command line easy enough or use NFSManager which is a d/l'ble shareware item. if you dont want to get too fancy, you can: mount -t nfs host:/exported/partition /mnt/somename mnt and somename have to pre-exist before you call mount (sudo). You can also automount it if...

    Does tar's z option compress on the fly?

    --best is usually a pretty waste of time. The change in compression vs. the increased runtime isn't worth it. Just use a better/different tool such as bzip2

    XFree 4.1

    Since I haven't seen it anywhere, XFree 4.1 is out and the big news is that it autobuilds dynamic libraries(!!!!!). I have a 175MB tarball of the 488MB fully compile source tree if someone has a place to post it! Everything built just fine, this XDarwin has the -quartz code but not...
