Yeah, I've got cpp 4.1.2. Thanks, though.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone else here felt ripped off buy Linuxant when they had to pay $20 to get full bandwidth an a 56k modem that could be gotten for $15? Did any of you find a an alternative or write one yourself? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I've been trying, without success, to install BRL-CAD on my Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn distribution. I am installing the 7.10.0 release of BRL-CAD from source and everything's fine until I run ./configure (which isn't very far at all). I have all the neccessary releases of gcc, libtool, make...

My install of BRL-CAD comes to a screeching halt every time it comes to the jove compononent. Here's the result: Making install in jove make[3]: Entering directory `/home/zippo/CAD/brlcad-7.10.0/src/other/jove' make[3]: *** No rule to make target `jove-tutorial', needed by `all-am'...

Buh-by windows. K, that's it. I backed up my important files and formatted the drive to ext3. There was a little fuss over read/write permissions, but "chmod 777 /dev/hdc1 /mnt/ext3" ironed that out. *NOTE* For others viewing this post, you may not want to include the "777" part of that...

Cool, I guess after the last reboot I have the "Open with Wine windows emulator" option in my right-click menu. So that's settled, but now wine is giving me error messages due to missing files or the inability to run a certain module. Is extra configuration necessary before a program will run...

That's sad, really. Windows couldn't mount a drive that it formatted itself and Linux managed it in two seconds. I'm never using windows again.

Ah...*grin* I have finally discovered mnt -t dev/hdc1 mnt/vfat. It was so simple.......

Hello. I installed wine recently and wish to run some programs on my windows drive. trouble is, wine <winprogram>.exe isn't getting me started. I tried cd ~/mnt/vfat, but I can't even cd to that location in the console. Can anybody point out my mistake? -Much thanks.

Oh,, btw, I installed gparted and it found the partition, but it doesn't look like it's going to help me pull files off it. Am I wrong about that?

Hey guys. Have any of you ever used TestDisk? It sounds like a winner, so I'm going to use it. Trouble is, I've tried multiple releases of it and I can't get ./configure going after I've extracted the tarball. Can anyone share a similar experience with me?

Yeah, I repostedl. Thanks, though.

WOoT! And the Linux parade marches on! I haven't marched with the penguins all that long, but the utter lack of mysterious 'System Error' messages has made learning the console so worth it. *blows a kiss at his Ubuntu CD*

Thanks, I'll try that.

Hey, guys. I just made the leap in to Linux. I'm having trouble accessing the other hard drive on my system. This undetectable drive housed a previous Windows OS and ceased functioning when the FAT file:mad: became unreadable. Is there any way that I can recover the data on that drive, or will...
