Re: [ILUG-BOM] 25th Aug

Hi Guys, I am trying to mount my netware volume on my linux box and am getting some errors. My command is ncpmount -S server -A ip-of-server -V volume -f755 -d755 -U user /mnt/netware It asks for the password and after entering the password, i get the following error: NCP timeout NCP timeout NCP Server not responding NCP notice message: result=-11 ncp_read_super: failed connection, error=-11 ncpmount:Invalid argument is mount(2) The man page says that ipx should be compiled in the kernel. How do i know if it is compiled or not? I am using RHL6.2 Any suggestions would be appreciated.

relocatable installs with rpm
by Philip S Tellis 14 Aug '01

rpm --relocate oldpath=newpath doesn't work as expected: rpm --relocate /usr=/usr/local ... gives: file /usrlocal from install of .... obviously, it's removed the / from /usr/local This seems to be a bug in rpm 4.0.2-8 that comes with rh7.1 Philip -- It's very inconvenient to be mortal -- you never know when everything may suddenly stop happening.

Sound config
by N. Shrikant 14 Aug '01

14 Aug '01

I've noticed that, on most any flavour of GNU/Linux [RedHat, Slackware, Debian, Mandrake, WinLinux], the loading of the sb module with the correct parameters for your sound card enables sounds perfectly. Of course, your sound card must be touted as "SoundBlaster Compatible", which most cards are, these days. At least, this worked for me in Redhat 6.2, Slackware 7.1, Potato, Mandrake 7.2 and WinLinux 2000. Does this also work on other flavours/versions? - Shrikant

[OT:Lisp] anyone still interested?
by Q u a s i 14 Aug '01

14 Aug '01

Folks, People still interested? Well I will list some misc. info I came across. Might be totally redundant, but am doing my li'll bit. Beginner's Text: Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation -- David S. Touretzky. A excellent book for starting. A mite on the slow side but builds solid foundations. Can be found at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/LispBook/book.pdf Another book by David J Cooper gives a good introduction. A link can be found at www.franz.com Some Sites www.lisp.org www.franz.com I have tried GCL, CLISP and finally setteled on CMUCL. GCL, they say is not fully compliant with the latest CL standard. It is a compiler which translates Lisp to C and then uses GCC to compile a true native binary. Quite fast. But it seems it is not actively maintained or developed. CLISP is actively maintained or developed but it compiles to byte code which has to run on a VM. CMUCL compiles to native binary and is quite fast. I have also got ilisp (an emacs package) to work with Xemacs and CMUCL. It allows to run lisp in a emacs buffer and one can (supposedly) do incremental developement. (Xemacs because I do not subscribe to RMS philosophy ;)) BTW Philip, Emacs _does_not_ have a built in lisp interpreter. It has a built in elisp interpreter. elisp is a very small and restricted subset of CL. hope I am not being overly enthusiastic. quasi p.s. I have a problem : The Alt key is not defined as the Meta key in X. In Xemacs I have to use ESC as the meta key. How do I redifine? -- postscript -- Math is like love -- a simple idea but it can get complicated. -- R. Drabek __________________________________________________ \?/ .Quasi.

Create a programme through which LUG members can go about to colleges spreading the word about Linux through seminars/workshops maybe? That would be a nice birthday gift for gnu/linux :) But engineering colleges havent resumed as of now. Regards, Nikhil. PS: Nice to see that Rediff now quotes mails with '>' . Makes it possible to interleave replies now. _________________________________________________________ For Rs. 2,000,000 worth of Aptech scholarships click below http://clients.rediff.com/clients/aptechsch/index.htm

Re: [ILUG-BOM] sort order of ls
by Amish Mehta 14 Aug '01

14 Aug '01

On Slakware its environment variable $LS_OPTIONS, with 'ls' aliased to 'ls $LS_OPTIONS', which controls output of ls. I guess its similar in case of Redhat. So you might have to set the environment variable and alias. Amish. Philip S Tellis wrote: > How do I revert to asciibetical order?
