    compiling eterm

    Well, I just built eterm 0.9 fine on my machine. I used --disable-utmp and --enable-shared=no to suppress dynamic libraries. Here is the last line of the build: /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -traditional-cpp -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -o Eterm -rpath...

    compiling eterm

    Your probably trying to get a library compiled. Alot of apps compile up a lib of oft-used functions and then link it into the main app. Anyway, your probably just missing the -undefined supress option.

    Symbolic link and CDROM

    The CD is usually /dev/disk1 but you can do it symbolically by going to /Volumes instead.

    TFTP permissions

    tftp works fine under OSX. It's just a bit funky. If your going to put a file onto the server, it has to already exist there and have world write permissions (as does the /private/tftpboot subdir). The funky thing is that you have to specify the absolute filepath of the destination...

    XFree86 4.1.0 - XDarwin1.01a - rootless

    libintl is part of GNU gettext. It is for handling language internationalization. If you dont require it (ie. you speak and want English), you may be able to tell 'configure' to not use it. It is often --disable-nls or something like that.

    is NIS on OS X possible?

    I haven't tried it but I know I saw some long doc. on the Net entitled something like "Integrating NIS w/ Mac OSX". I may even have it printed in my office. I'll check today.

    How to compile OpenSSL 0.9.6b under X?

    The problem is that even though you have -L.. on the command line, the linker is *preferring* to link in the Apple supplied /usr/lib/libcrypto.dylib instead of the openssl one and those symbols are not defined in the Apple libraries. If you didn't build openssl dylib's(you built .a's...

    named (DNS) server problem

    Depends on how extensive the logging is. Named can report to syslog a very large amount of debug information that may allow you to track down the problem.

    DOES tar work on OSX???

    If you give it the right command options it'll work fine. tar zcvf foo.tar.gz xfer You need to tell it what filename should hold the output. Since you didn't, it defaulted to nrst0 (non-rewinding raw scsi tape drive #0).

    UNIX command line: where can I learn???

    there are some subtle differences between Solaris, OSX, Linux etc as far as regular user level commands but it's not like they're different languages. A few commands may have different options and things like that but if your comfortable in one, you'll be comfortable in the others. Things...

    Any success with OpenLDAP?

    I got openldap to compile and pass all tests last week. You need to use CVS to get the very latest sources though. The released 2.0.11 was a nightmare and ultimately, a failure.

    The ncftp seems cannot using user id

    Perhaps because your doing it incorrectly? There is no -u username -p passwd option as a read of teh man page or running help demonstrates. Just use '-u' by itself on the command line and it'll prompt you. [hjmpbg3:~/Documents] howardm% ncftp -help ncftp: illegal option -- h Usage...

    File owner is "938"?!

    they should all be owned by root but honestly, it doesn't matter.

    is /usr/local the same as /Users/someName

    /usr/local is the place you want to put things like binaries/libraries/includes/ancillary files that will be used by all the users on the machine. /Users/SomeUser is the home account for SomeUser and generally not what you want unless you want SomeUser to be the only one to run/use it...

    Ethereal

    Ethereal comes in two flavors, the console text version and the X-GTK based version. Since the source is distributed, it would be an exercise left to the motivated student as to how to interface the low level sniffer engine to Cocoa. :)

    Ethereal

    there were supposed to be problems w/ the pcap library but I've compiled it w/ older supposedly non-buggy versions of pcap and it still dies. This is tethereal, the X version is even worse.

    Tar question

    Most all tar's will strip the leading '/' from an absolute path and most dont give you any choice. Gnutar at least gives you a choice. Local file selection: -C, --directory=DIR change to directory DIR -T, --files-from=NAME get names to extract or create from file NAME...

    emacs with X11

    I'm sorry but I have to believe its a local installation problem. That missing symbol doesn't happen for me and I also compiled X3270 just for laughs. hjmpbg3:~/Documents/sw] howardm% nm /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.a |grep ReadFile 00000170 t _OpenReadFile 00000000 T _XpmReadFileToImage...
