uff... maybe the same problem is
suffered here... would this help anyone to debug it?
anyway, i'm looking forward to sumbitting a working version of vrweb, so
let me know about the proper procedures soon please! thanks!

don't go away, i have a "standardising" question for the gurus:
vrweb used a function called name2() that i eventually found in the
libg++2.8.2-dev package in /usr/include/g++-2/generic.h
#define name2(a,b) gEnErIc2(a,b)
#define gEnErIc2(a,b) a ## b
now dselect tells me:
libg++2.8.2-dev - The G
hi
the current problem is involving a function called name2() eg:
from tifs.h
Fieldsdeclare(name2(TIOINETFactoriesBase,Base),TIOINETFactoryPtr)
from fields.h
class name2(TIOINETFactoriesBase,Base) {
see how its used in #defs a
hi again,
thanks Ray for the netinet-includes tips: that bit is compiling nicely now
:)
now, i'm having problems with some fds_bits thingy. what is it used for
and where is it defined? i thought it was in sys/types.h, but the compiler
doesn't seem to see the declaration (little ambiguous to me).
hi, i'm trying to fix up vrweb, and if successful will apply for adoption
and all that (already talked to the original maintainer).
anyway, the current problem is the conflict between the linux includes and
debian's netinet includes:
/usr/include/linux/byteorder/generic.h:150: previous declaratio

Works for me. I was getting hangs

Well, I think I can see why. Because porting is a thankless and
gruelling task. You come head to head with every li

FWIW, I think having McAfee .debs, even in non-free, would be a win.
However, another thought occurred to me. Stephen, could you ask them
to clarify the licensing of their DAT files? If they are indeed free,
as http://www.nai.com/download/updates/whatdat.asp> seems to
imply, someone oughta look

I suspect strongly that many packages are doing full 'texconfig init'
runs rather than running texconfig only for their relevant packages.
An example in this case is jadetex. It runs (it's own copy of)
'texconfig init' rather than just generating .fmt's for what it is
installing (jadetex and pdfj
