I've been running Linux .99pl4 and X for a few weeks now. Everything
is great. I have a few questions that span different areas, but
felt it was Linux specific so I posted here.
g++ nor c++ compile code for me. Just a simple one liner produced to stderr:
/usr/tmp/cca001881.o: Undefined symbol _cout referenced from text segment
/usr/tmp/cca001881.o: Undefined symbol ostream::operator<<(const char *) referenced from text segment
I have no idea. The other compilers I installed are fine.
I could get xdm to crash very nicely by just putting a xsetroot in my .xinitrc.
Go figure.
The first time installing gcc, the usr/g++include was really trashed. Lots of
missing inodes that were allocated, but not in use by a file. fsck -a would
try forever, but got caught in a nice endless loop. mkfs took care of that :)
X swaps *way* to much to disk for me. Granted I only have 4M with a 8M swap.
If I splurge for 4 or 16M, will it greatly help things. It's a 386/40 with
an ET4000.
I have someting set wrong in my environment. Trying to exec an xterm from
the cli yields:
xterm: unable to find usable termcap entry.
I'm certain my TERMCAP is right.
Along the same lines,
WARNING: terminal cannot clear to end of line
WARNING: terminal cannot clear screen
WARNING: terminal cannot home cursor
WARNING: terminal cannot move cursor to lower left of screen
WARNING: terminal cannot scroll backwards
is generated from less (more). Suprisingly though, vi works flawlessly.
Lastly, whenever I compile my kernel, the booting floppy always just spits
out register numbers. If I get lucky. Sometimes it will just hang. I do *all*
the `makes' and then `make disk' to write it to out.
Otherwise, Linux is a dream come true. Thank you Lord.
