[techtalk] Introduction
I am not great at introducing myself, as I never really know what to say. I'm Carol. I'm 45 years old (and I am very glad I caught that typo, as I had just typed that I was 456 years old. While I may sometimes feel that old, in truth, I am not quite there, yet.) I work full time doing tech support for a local ISP and have been dabbling with linux since I started here. I do not, as yet, fully understand it. Recently, due to the plannings of gods with weird senses of humor, I went from running a windoze system to one running linux with GNU at work. It is an adventure that I am rather enjoying. I have linux on my home computer. It's dually bootable to either linux or 'doze and being a coward, I generally boot to 'doze. I don't have GNU at home, yet. That's something I need to figure out how to do. I didnt' set up the work system so I don't really know how to get everything that I need. I am also going to have to have a computer that will WINE (whine? probably, but hopefully not loud enough to annoy me), as I do a lot of graphics work with PSP6 and Bladepro. Other interests... I have a soap making business, where myself and my business partner make traditional lye soap, glycerin soap, lotions and salt scrubs (instead of having spare time, of course). I love to do beadwork, embroidery, sewing, cooking, reading, writing, and am learning to do henna art. I also have three Great Danes, two of whom are barely a year old. Full house, of course, but full heart, too. That's me. Any questions, fire away. I'll answer them. Not much ever offends me.

[techtalk] can't compile ncurses blue.c
I tried the RH list and didn't get any takers. Was wondering if anyone here had any ideas? I'm trying to compile some of the test programs ncurses provides in order to learn how ncurses works. I thought playing with these programs would be a good way to learn. I've placed /usr/include/signal.h in the directory where I'm compiling in. I don't see "sigcontext.h" even listed in the "blue.c" source. I'm confused as to what this program needs to compile. I'm using Redhat 6.2. The error message is listed below. [redhat:~/C/ncurse]$ gcc -g -Wall -oblue blue.c In file included from signal.h:300, from blue.c:22: /usr/include/bits/sigcontext.h:28: asm/sigcontext.h: No such file or directory Thanks, kent -- "Neurosis is the way of avoiding non-being by avoiding being." - Paul Tillich, American theologian (1886-1965). ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
Re: [techtalk] can't compile ncurses blue.c
it seems like maybe you are missing a link... /usr/include/asm should be a link to /usr/src/linux/include/asm which will then link to asm-(arch) in the same dir. you can check the links by doing an "ls -l" of /usr/include/asm. you shouldn't have to move any of the include files into the dir you are compiling from, as they should always be checking /usr/include for them. /usr/include/bits/sigcontext.h merely includes asm/sigcontext.h... which means it's looking for /usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h thus the issue with the link mentioned above. i hope this helps, i sometimes have a hard time putting thoughts into text :) let me know if it's not this, we'll try something else, perhaps random blind guesses as to what it might be :) those are always fun :) -marisa On Tue, Nov 14, 2000 at 09:30:28PM -0600, x.y.f graced me with: > I tried the RH list and didn't get any takers.

Now I just have to wade through all the buggy "test code" that comes with ncurses. I've tried about 5 different source files. You'd think they would send out stuff that works. Anyway thanks for your help:) I'm just starting out learning "C" so this is quite an adventure:) kent -- "Neurosis is the way of avoiding non-being by avoiding being." - Paul Tillich, American theologian (1886-1965). ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
