pthreads and libc version for debian 1.1

1996-06-04 Thread Michael Callahan
I would like to play with pthreads, and was wondering what I must do to get phtreads support built into my libc. Do I have to compile the latest version of libc myself, with pthreads specified somewhere? Or is it in the latest version already? Also, why does debian 1.1 use libc-5.2.18 when libc

How about having each pager program use update-alternatives to provide a possible variant of /usr/bin/pager, and then having man configured by default to use /usr/bin/pager ? This would mean that man couldn't tell that less was being used and give it all those funky arguments with the name of the

Sorry for the confusion. It turns out that more is not the same as less on slackware but man automatically uses less without a variable set. I'm pretty sure it is not using a temp file. Is there any reason the default PAGER on Debian should not be set to less out of the box? Nathan

You can define $PAGER as something like "cat >/tmp/$$;more /tmp/$$;rm /tmp/$$" to get the back-scrolling at the cost of somewhat reduced speed. You won't see the first page until the last has been formatted (which is why we don't do this by default). Bruce -- Pixar's Toy Story: Over 1/3 B
