Re: compile problem on older program

Hi, it seems that gcc just hates a static function declaration inside a function. This code (without any include) static int bla(int x) { return (x != 1); } int main() { static int bla(int x); return(bla(0)); } yields t.c: In function ‘main’: t.c:19:13: error: invalid

Hello, I need to compile an older program and have a compile error. How can I resolve this? Unfortunately I am not a C programmer although I do assembler programming. Here is the output of make: making all in ./src... make[1]: Entering directory '/opt/pcb-1.6.3p/src' gcc -m32 -g -O2 -fno-s

Re: Why does resolv.conf keep changing?

I've recently found myself living with a T1 and a DHCP (Comcast) -- slow and reliable all the time, and blistering fast at 3:00 AM. I think I may have dealt with the resolv.conf (R.C) problem. I set myself as the owner of R.C, removed everything but owner read permission, and set it to immutable.

Problem with upgrading graphics libraries

Hi, For the last few weeks I'm unable to upgrade graphics libraries on my system. Unfortunately, I don't know which packages are the problem. I have integrated intel and dedicated nvidia gpus. It looks like exactly the same problem described in this reddit thread: https://www.r eddit.com/r/debian
