More than 1 gcc version?
by Tom Brown 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

Hi CentOS4.2 - Is it possible to have an older version of gcc as well as the one that ships with this OS? I need to compile aspseek to run on this distro but it seems to only like older gcc's any ideas?

Backup Solutions based on Linux
by Joe Polk 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

I'm having particular issues running Veritas in my Windows environment. The agent just seems to baulk on some servers. I've looked into backup solutions running on Linux before but there doesn't seem to be much. Is anyone familiar with something that has Windows agents and yet managed by Linux? <<JAV>>

Re: [CentOS] More than 1 gcc version?

"flame" == "stoopidly pedantic"... NOT a discussion I want to get into again. It *is* 5 years after it was written, by folks no longer here, (actually 10 years) and it WORKED FLAWLESSLY when written. Code + compiler -> successful product. The compiler changed, it's current behavior is broken from my point of view! This compiler broken-ness drives a decision to NOT upgrade to the current (dysfunctional) compiler nor the OS it rode in on.

If it doesn't conform with ANSI, it's you who are at fault. Don't blame the compiler for your mistakes of the past. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Not necessarily... gcc 2.9x LOVES my code, and the program built under it runs like a champ. gcc 3.4 barfs on this same source code, so I see this as "Stoopidly Pedantic" on the part of the compiler-writers. Things that work and stop working because of a "better compiler" bring into question the definition of "better".

If your program won't compile with a very stable GCC3, then you might want to fix the broken software rather than install an obsolete development environment, no?

UPS tool ?
by Gilles CHAUVIN 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

Hi all, I plan to upgrade some servers running good old RH7.2/7.3. Some of these machines' got UPS an I use nut to monitor them. I was very surprised to see that nut isn't included in RHEL 4.x (quite weird for an enterprise class distro). Is there any program I may use as a replacement for nut ? Or do I have to compile it by myself (I saw a nut SRPM was available for Fedora Core 4 so I guess it won't be hard to adapt it to CentOS 4.x). Thanks for your replies. Gilles.

X/gnome/KDE app that will scroll message across desktop
by Jerry Geis 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

Is there a "built in" application for X/gnome/KDE that given a text string scroll it across the desktop? a command line program that did this would be exactly what I'm looking for. Is there anything like this? THanks, Jerry

Strange soundcard problem w/4.2
by Chris Mauritz 23 Oct '05

23 Oct '05

Hi there, I'm trying to repurpose an unused machine (athlon XP 3000+) for my young daughter to use. It's on a motherboard with a VIA KT880 chipset and VIA integrated soundcard (VIA 8237). The card seems to be detected during boot time and shows up in the system log, but when I try to actually use the sound card within Gnome, there's no sound. The device is detected, but there's no sound. So I figured this may be an "oddball" chipset, so I disabled the onboard sound device and installed a vanilla Soundblaster Live! card. Again, the card seems to be detected by the kernel at boot time, but there's no sound and the soundcard detection utility reports "no sound card detected." Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated since my daughter is now camped at my expensive laptop so she can play tux racer (a great game for kids, BTW). :-) Cheers,

Exim on all interfaces
by Morten 22 Oct '05

22 Oct '05

Hi. I have a default installation of Exim with only a few changed settings. It appears to only bind to the loopback interface. I have not set any local_interfaces values, as the default behaviour is to bind on all interfaces. But alas, exim does not respond on its IP address: [root@obiwan ~]# /etc/init.d/exim restart Shutting down exim: [ OK ] Starting exim: [ OK ] [root@obiwan ~]# ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:07:E9:26:FD:29 inet addr:192.168.0.101 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::207:e9ff:fe26:fd29/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:49916 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:27221 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:7366849 (7.0 MiB) TX bytes:3741826 (3.5 MiB) Base address:0xddc0 Memory:fe9e0000-fea00000 [root@obiwan ~]# telnet 192.168.0.101 25 Trying 192.168.0.101... telnet: connect to address 192.168.0.101: Connection refused telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused [root@obiwan ~]# telnet 127.0.0.1 25 Trying 127.0.0.1...

CentOS 4.2 and VMWare
by Derek Lee-Wo 22 Oct '05

22 Oct '05

Has anyone successfully installed CentOS 4.2 within VMWare 5 and have it run successfully. I tried doing this last night, but after the install, it cannot boot. It hangs at the GRUB message. I have used CentOS 4.1 many times within VMWare without problems. I did a search and found some where people have had this problem, but not within VMWare. The problems seem to have been related to SCSI devices. I know VMWare allows you to choose between two types of SCSI interfaces, but I chose the default presented (for RedHat Enterprise 4). Maybe I need to use a different VM configuration? Derek
