directions

[Ranko Sredojevic]

  Hi all!

Since I'm not sure where these should go, I'm putting them here, and
someone might give me directions to another list if appropriate.

Couple of questions now:

(1) Octave build is finally over and I'm trying it out. It took around 16
hours on athlon
3200+/1GB for the record.

SciLab won't build. It gives message that gcc3.?.? (I forgot the number) is
needed
and that this is unavailable for amd64. Any cure?

(2) What are these. I did quick search on google and archives but couldn't
locate
more than a page in italian (which I, unfortunately, still don't understand)
so I have
to ask here:

Nov 25 18:46:14 svarga kernel: pid 14597 (xdfc), uid 0: exited on signal 11
(core dumped)
Nov 25 20:00:19 svarga kernel: pid 32872 (xsfc), uid 0: exited on signal 11

Nov 25 20:01:53 svarga kernel: pid 33385 (xsfc), uid 0: exited on signal 11

Nov 25 20:04:08 svarga kernel: pid 33984 (xsfc), uid 0: exited on signal 11

Nov 25 20:50:03 svarga kernel: pid 46735 (xzfc), uid 0: exited on signal 11

(core dumped)
Nov 25 21:48:47 svarga kernel: pid 64276 (xcfc), uid 0: exited on signal 11
(core dumped)

I noticed these in my messages file when I tried to see why printing is not
working so I
wanted to see if lpd logged something here (along with lpd-errs)...

I have no idea what are these (X-related?). System is, generally running
fine. I haven't experienced
crashes so far. Occasionally I get "application quit unexpectedly" from
evolution or one of ps/pdf viewers
but rarely. Any ideas?

I'm on RELENG_6_0 with GENERIC kernel (still didn't have time to compile my
own...).

(3) lpd/lpq acts somewhat strangely

I followed instructions to set up printing to the network printer... It
worked very well.
Although, I'd like to know why LPQ "hangs" ... if I send something for
printing:

$ lpr output.ps
$ lpq

Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
1st    rasha      25   output.ps                             1450287 bytes

and it is not letting me back to the comman line... until I do ^C ?

cheers,
rasha
