Was wondering if anyone was able to successfully compile the GIMP to OS X?

I was not able to use the -t option with the ssh-keygen utility in OS X 10.0.1 for generating rsa1 and dsa keys. Does anyone knwo what I can use instead?

I am sure I speak for a lot of people here, but once you have got it working, I think we would all appreciate it if you could post the compiled MacOSX binaries somewhere - possibly the binaries section of the ImageMagick site The same would go for any other Linux/Unix ported applications

Yes. I got this working some time ago - but not rootless. I have XonX (Xdarwin) working. It takes over the whole desktop - so no Aqua applications running side-by-side ... but it works. I ssh to my Linux box, set the DISPLAY variable, and everything just works - I can even run KDE and...

Well .. we're getting away from OS X specifics here and entering the realm of the aforementioned religious wars ... But I essentially agree with what you say, strobe, that Unix is a hack upon a hack wrapped around a hack. The thing is that ANY modern operating system - whether an...

Yeah ... I have to say that the one-button mouse can restrict power-users a bit. However, there have been third-party two- and three- button mice available for Macs almost since the beginning. I personally use a four-button mouse (currently I have a Logitech Cordless Desktop Pro wireless...

I would be interested in knowing what you did here? Are you running your LDAP server on MacOS X? and if so, which one? or are you connecting to one on another machine? I have OpenLDAP running on Linux, and was wondering if I could use that to do authentication for Linux and MacOS X

To answer your question ... we first have to ask what is Unix? Before I answer that, let me say that it is VERY likely that I do not have my facts right - so you out there who know the facts, please correct me, don't flame me! As far as I know, the term UNIX can only apply to the operating...

ssh - Secure SHell - like telnet (and rlogin and rsh), is a way to log on to a remote host and execute commands on it. Unlike telnet - where usernames and passwords are sent in clear text and are exposed to anyone running a packet sniffer on the network, ssh, encrypts all communication between...

I just love replying to my own posts - especially when it is to apologise for something as dumb as what I just did. I found my answer in another post labelled (surprisingly) SSH! (I was looking for OpenSSH). Anyway. Thanks for all the help

Apologies if this has already been asked ... I could not find it quickly though ... Does anyone have precompiled binaries available for OpenSSH (sshd and ssh) or any other SSH implementation? It would be GREATLY appreciated! I have pretty much everything I need to integrate my MacOS X...

You can write a shell script - give it a .command extension and make sure it is executable (chmod +x ...) You can then double click on it in the finder and it will do whatever you tell it to do.

You have to realise ... 1. Linus is NOT talking about MacOS X. He is talking about the Mach microkernel 2. Linus is known to be highly opinionated about microkernels in general 3. Linus is known to be highly critical about other Unixes in general - especially those that are not open source...

Although this does not quite pertain to MacOS X - it is an Apple issue (sortof) I have an Apple Airport hub that is serving my Mac, and two Windows machines (one with a WaveLAN card, and one with an Aironet card). I also have some other machines that for various reasons (mainly OS support), I...

Is there a way to specify which AFP network volumes MacOS X should automatically mount on startup? Like the old chooser settings where you check the volumes to mount? Also, somwhat related, can I do the same with SMB volumes (through Sharift/cifsmount) - preferably different for each user

Haven't tried it in Java, but in my opinion, this behavior is very consistent with the Mac/Aqua interface, where unlike X-Windows or MS Windows, the parent window has to have focus before any control registers a click

Many people have made this mistake - the Java support in MacOS X is NOT the same as Java support in IE 5 for MacOS X. Microsoft uses their own Java VM for Internet Explorer - not the 1.3 VM that ships with OS X. Now, if only there was a way to specify WHICH VM IE should use ... Java plugin...

I got it from http://www.savagetranscendental.com/data/OSX/bash-osx.html a quick search on Google also gave me an article on MacNN - http://osx.macnn.com/features/installbash.phtml

I just installed bash for OS X I changed my default shell to /bin/bash in NetInfo and the Terminal Preferences, and it works fine. However, it did not run my custom .bashrc Now ... if in terminal preferences, I uncheck the 'Run Login Script' checkbox, it does run my .bashrc, but then my...

I think you are confusing Java support in the OS with Java support in the browser. I would like to second what has been said in this thread before ... I think the Java support in the OS is one of the most stable 1.3 implementations As for the browser ... I am not sure if OmniWeb supports...
