Sudo worked. I don't see a hidden file called .xinitrc anywhere on my machine. Which directory should it be in? home? Should i just create it? Thanks.

Update. I think the output folder under '/sw/lib/xmms' is supposed to contain 'libesdout.so' and/or 'libesdout.la' but it doesn't. How do I get these if installing esd from fink doesn't do it?

Quick xmms question. I installed esound from fink. I need to set the output plugin to esound but it's not listed in the options/io menu in xmms. Any ideas? Thanks.

I just bought a new G5 with bash instead of my old mac's tcsh. I'm trying to add the fink bins "/sw/bin" and "/sw/sbin/" to the PATH variable using x11 so I can easily run my downloads. Problems: Tried to modify the file '~/.profile' by add the following line: export...

Found a fix. But 2 more questions for slimers: I'm using the (dribble #P<path>) command to try and write the output of the listener to file. However after a run the file is empty. Also, when using emacs as a lisp code editor how do you get it to indent to the previous indentation? When I tab...

Is anyone running slime on emacs? I'm working on a project and I'm sick of retyping (load "blah/blah/blah/blah"). Is there an easier way to reload, either by capturing the string value in a variable or another function i haven't found in doc?

lol...I've always wanted to see Oslo :D

I need some advice from those who know the job market better than I. I don't have a cs degree but I've done a lot of programming building cognitive models (computer modeling is my minor). I know OOC++, Objective-C, OOMatlab, Lisp, VB, Unix environment (perl scripting), Macintosh OSX environment...

When I boot up, I can run xmms (newest version) for a little while. Eventually, i try to select a song and it freezes up and wont play or select anything. When i kill in x11 terminal and restart, the gui doesn't show up and I have to restart computer to get it to work again. Any ideas as to a fix?

How do you get rid of the annoying "Your document contents here" in the document nib file of a document based application?

I'm new to cocoa programming..still trying to get used to it. First, if I want to do int => char conversions and vice versa, do I use the C++ method or is there a different way in objective-c? Second, I'm building an application and I want to read in a character string from a user-editable...

I'm trying to install Fink since it apparently makes installation easier. But it gives me an error saying that "/sw" already exists. It's an older version of Fink. Can I delete the entire sw directory and reinstall, or do other scripts draw from sw? I don't remember installing it (it was...

freeciv is destroying my life....but it sure is fun to take on Mordor, Ethiopia, and Mars =)

Well..i checked out openmcl and can't make heads or tails of the install. I've done simple installs with ./configure and make but nothing where you have to modify files. A short tutorial (or link to a coherent one) would be helpful. I need to change the path of CCL_DEFAULT_DIRECTORY to where...

Now I get this: (cd xbin ; cp ../bin/gcl .) cp: ../bin/gcl: No such file or directory make: *** [command] Error 1 Maybe I should delete everything and start over.
