OK, let's back up a bit, and see why kpsexpand is needed in the first place. Graphics in Octave use gnuplot. The legend function from Octave Forge sends a "save FILE" command to gnuplot so that it can extract some information about gnuplot's current state. If you do the following mv /usr/bin/

smartmontools install issue

bash vs sh in scripts

Some cygwin packages install shell scripts that begin with the line #!/bin/sh The latest example is the smartd script that smartmontools installs in /etc/rc.d/init.d. But there are many others. This seems to be standard Linux usage. On some of my PCs, this causes the shell script to fail.

I'm confused about dll v. so and cygwin. I've used the documentation to create and load dlls with g++. However, I notice that Apache Httpd uses ".so" files. Is the choice to produce ".dll" or ".so" files purely a matter of who is going to load them? Thanks, Siegfried -- Unsubscribe info:
