package AND source : how ?

Recently I upgraded to potato (from slink). There were dependency problems with Python packages (and related programs). The first error message was about a missing libtk8.3.so . However, tk8.3 _was not_ in .deb packages, so I installed it from source. It went to /usr/local/lib . However, the p

'xhost' gives error message

When I try just: 'xhost', it gives me an error - Xlib: Connection to ":0.0" refused by Server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server All this I tried as root, previously as user (with the same result). A day before it worked... Why is it? -- GYULAI Mihály http://gyulai.freeyell

I tried to use an 'apt-get install netstd' command, but received many error messages about other packages that were selected before, with 'dselect'. (these packages are mainly Python-related). The error messages are about unconfigured packages. Questions: 1. How can I avoid these unconfigured pac

apt-get through a proxy ?

I can't go through our intranet proxy, although I configure my apt.conf file to use it... Is there a HOWTO about 'apt-get' ? (and other 'apt' programs?) Please show me an URL, where I can see a usable 'apt.conf' file using a proxy... Thanks. -- GYULAI Mihály http://gyulai.freeyellow.com Rej

I can't compile anything!

I used the 'slink' version and tried to upgrade glibc manually from 2.0.7 to 2.1.2 . It failed, there was a 'libc-dev' conflict with 'libstdc++2.9' Now I installed 'potato' from CD, I selected the 'libc' packages and 'gcc' 2.95 . If I try to compile a C source (with ./configure) it says: "gcc

I partially upgraded my glibc2 from 2.0.7 to 2.1.2, I received an error message at upgrading 'libc6-dev'. After that my system was broken (it's a slink version). I can't compile anything now with gcc. Now I try to upgrade to potato. I can use dselect, but after 'Install' I receive the following

Do I need 'apt' directories, or can I delete them?

I just upgraded from 'slink' to 'potato'. Now my /root partition is full. Do I need the contents of the following directories, or may I delete them? /var/cache/apt 6 MB /var/state/apt/lists 3.7 MB /var/lib/dpkg/info 4.6 MB /var/lib/dpkg/methods/multicd 1 MB Thanks for suggestions. -- GY
