[9fans] p9p on 64 bit Linux

Greetings, I am trying to build p9p with the latest LinuxMint on a 64 bit machine. In addition to the normal stuff, I think I had to install packages: libxt-dev libxext-dev It built fine, but what I run it I get: blake@sony-linux-laptop ~ $ acme acme: error while loading shared libraries: libX

Down for me as well, seems there's only one A record that solves for plan9: 135.104.24.16 which is unreachable at the moment. Probably all we can do is wait? At least I am not aware of any mirrors. P.S.: They have a /16 allocated in their range, do not know why they don't put a couple of IPs as m

Re: [9fans] usb configuration

That's one of the mice mentioned on the wiki. It's a great mouse in my experience, though it doesn't have a normal scroll wheel, more like the trackpoint on thinkpads. It works with a passive PS/2 adapter if you need to use it on an older machine, too. Be warned of its Amazon and Ebay listing

Re: [9fans] How to find or build 9pxeload?

9boot (I think) comprises a stub and a compressed executable; once the whole thing is loaded it decompresses the real 9boot and runs it. I do think 9boot is running OK, it seems to fail when it goes back to bootp to get its Ethernet config, hence the .T.T part of what it prints out. I'll try those
