You can mess around with the configure settings too and then you might not be SOL'd. Their are always work-arounds (well almost always) to getting something to compile/configure/install. Is their something specific that you are having trouble installing? Justin

First, whenever you try to configure the program try configuring like this: setenv CPPFLAGS -no-cpp-precomp ; ./configure --whatever-args-you-use-here Then that will configure and whenever you try to make it, it should work, if not, then try to copy the missing *.h files to the directory...

If you are using the 'Enable FTP Sharing' in the Sharing Preference Pane in the Preferences Panel that when you enable the ftp it uses ncftpd not whatever Apple has the default ftp server as (if they aren't using ncftpd as their default). I thought Apple used something else but I can't remember...

Links and Lynx are two different browsers. I prefer links over lynx though. I have no idea what your problem is though. Justin

You can type in 'chmod 700 /users/username' and that will shut off your directory unless your sister uses sudo or gets root control. If you do this and you have websharing on, nobody will be able to view your website. You can mess around with chmod though to fix that. Justin

If the person is on a *nix server than you could just 'finger username@hostname' and then if they had finger installed on the server then all you would have to do is see if the person has read their mail. It wouldn't tell you if your mail had been read, but it would tell when the person last...

Any of the *nix's are fairly easy to learn (or atleast they were for me). If you are serious about learning you could learn a lot in a lot less time then you think. Also...if you and your freind dislike *nix so much, then why is the linux penguin your little icon? Justin

I installed it really easily, all I had to do was type in make, what you did wrong was you don't have GTK+ installed. Justin

It is really easy to compile this, all you have to do is edit the Makefile and delete all the -s's. If you need it I can send you the fixed Makefile. Justin

Have you tried using ssh -vv username@hostname ?? ssh -v -v and ssh -vv are the same thing, the latter one just takes up less space and i think it looks prettier, but anyways you could also just try to download and install the most reacent version of SSH? Justin

Well, if the file has a README or INSTALL file that could help you alot...but anyways....Do you have a configure script in the directory where you are trying to compile the program...And....coudl you give me a link and I can try to help you compile it if you give it too me...It shuoldn't be too...

If something small doesn't work...do something drastic.... I think that should be a new motto... Or maybe... If it ain't brokin, you aren't using it right... Justin

I remember that when I had Suse 6.4 that I had to run xvfbswitch to configure my monitor properly (I think that is the command) I believe that if you compile the kernel though you will be able to make it see your two monitor's. I will ask some of my linux buddie's about it today at school...

What version of the Linux Kernel are you using? Try compiling the latest kernel and customize it for your graphics card or just do whatever. http://www.penguinppc.org or maybe http://www.imaclinux.net and both sites have links to other sites. http://www.linuxppc.org might also be good...

The copy at www.macaddict.com's version worked fine for me... Justin

You should make sure that your version of XFree86 is the most recent version and you don't need any special flags whenever you start XWindows. Also, could it be that the WindowManager you are using is giving you these errors? If you still get the errors just reinstall the latest version of...

I believe that is because it doesn't copy the Mac Resource file...I could be wrong though... Justin

All you have to do is make it if you don't already have it...Don't use TextEdit if you want to use an X app to make the file...If you use any use BBEdit then in the save state have it save with unix line breaks...or if you want to go the easy way use pico or vi or emacs to make your .xinitrc...

try one of these commands: sudo su sudo /bin/tcsh sudo passwd root then you shuold become root unless you do that last one. As soon as you have the root prompt, type in: passwd root then change the root passwd and it will be enabled. You can do this thru netinfo manager but...

Yeah I tried it but it was *sucking* for me so i just stayed using WindowMaker because i liked it more. THeir might be some applets or extra's files that you can download for blackbox to make it better and more functional. Justin
