Re: Linux/VAX clarification

I'm not familiar with the hardware that runs HPUX, but if it has the same endianness as the VAX (little endian), you should not need to do anything. Otherwise, you will have to write some converter program or code that swaps bytes before using the files on the VAX. (The VAX has a nice assembler

Hi, If you are porting source written for x86 linux, endianness isn't a problem (the VAX is also little endian). Most C code won't have the problem anyway; sockets code should be using htonl and family. For the most part, DEC has gone through a lot of trouble to make porting easy. Paths can be

I have the same problem. The cause is that the java runtime uses private symbols from libc6 (glibc2) that are no longer visible in glibc2.1. There is no fix that I know of, short of downgrading to glibc2 (which breaks tons of dependencies in potato). Avi Shevin [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The ATI cards are not supported by any of the 3d APIs under linux. X will work using the Mach64 server, but you will only get 2d accel.
