FYI: Installing the Intel C++ compiler on Debian SID

nstalling the replacement libs. 12) Do *not* (stress *not*) install the new substitute_header files... only the new libs. This differs from the instructions for SuSE or Caldera. All done. As far as I can tell, this works great. Cheers, Doug -- Dr. Douglas Eck, http://www.idsia.ch/~doug Istituto Dalle

Re: installing Mach 64 Xserver

2000-10-17 Thread Douglas Eck
You can also find the xserver-mach64 package at www.debian.org under "Distribution-->Debian packages"... Just do a search for the pacakge name in "stable". You can download the package using Windows and then transfer it to your Linux partition via any means possible. Then just do dpkg --install

ypbind memory

Anyone know if it's normal for ypbind to spawn four daemons that eat up 16Mb of memory? It works fine... but seems like a lot of overhead. I'm running woody... >From memstat: 4180k: PID 6497 (/usr/sbin/ypbind) 4180k: PID 6496 (/usr/sbin/ypbind) 4180k: PID 6495 (/usr/sbin/ypbind) 41

Verifying corrupt /var/lib/dpkg. Anyone?

2000-09-26 Thread Douglas Eck
In upgrading I somehow corrupted my dpkg database. For example, /var/lib/dpkg/status showed net-tools installed but they weren't really there. That is, for example, ifconfig was *nowhere* on my hard drive. Oddly, when I looked in /var/lib/dpkg/info there were no net-tools* files. So it seems that p
