World: r3wp

although I find it strange that debians package repository should 
be that broken. it usually isn't.

the apt-get update  did the trick

thanks :-)  I was able to install the whole x11 without complaining.

neat

there are a few missing files, but so far it at least was able to 
get to the point where it actually installed the X 11 apps and utilities... 
not just a few libs

my biggest peeve with it has always been to find that magic package 
that installs everything you need.

retrying to start cheyenne...

btw all is good, cheyenne/view is working on my server. (in case 
someone is following the discussion)

oh, that's nice. do graphics and fonts work?

no clue  !!  I havn't even started putting content yet :-) 


working on new ssh-admin upload/download/shortcut features  and  
then  remark_mod.


until remark_mod is working, no content will be visible. forcing 
myself to implement what I've been wanting to do for years  ;-)

but since one of the initial tags will be liquid-paint integration, 
in order to build gfx dynamically... I'll soon know  :-)

this is an exciting time for me...


 I've been inching my way to this point for almost a decade.  building 
 libs and tools one by one with a precise vision in mind.   I am now 
 at the point where I can start integrating all of that into "products", 
 and so far there is very little things to change, all the lego bricks 
 fit together  :-D

Go Max Go!

What are we talking about here, Maxim? What will this allow you to 
do exactly?

you mean the ssh-admin?

yes/no...More interested in remark_mod and remark v2

how dynamic?

there is a !remark group.. more details are there, ask remark questions 
there ;-)

I am sourcing a file with alias commands in them, but they aren't 
actually being applied.

typing those exact commands directly in the shell works.


I know alias is not a file command, but a bash internal operation, 
but how can I get bash to source the files and apply the aliases 
to my login automatically?


the echo within the file IS printing on the shell, so its not just 
chmod thing... any linux gurus can help me?

Depending on the Linux distro, there are several startup files executed 
by the shell where you can enter them

in this case, debian.

I currently have mine in my home directory in .bashrc

I usually prefer having separate files for different tasks rather 
than dumping everything in the main files.

If you're not using BASh it could be .profile

maybe the originally sourced files are executed a bit differently.


on sgi IRIX I never had any issue with sourcing files into the .cshrc 
files...  I was using tcsh, which I usually prefer over bash, but 
isn't included by default in all flavors of unix.

bash tells me it can't find tcsh, so I assume its not loaded on my 
distro.

If you want to define them globally, /etc/profile probably works, 
or maybe /etc/bash.bashrc

I'll defining them in the .bashrc to see if they are set automatically.

tcsh is not standard, but you can install it

I remember that things like aliases are a bit more flexible (dangerous 
too) in csh and tcsh

its possible define an alias for "/" , for example, which bash doesn't 
understand.

thanks for the help :-)

You're welcome

its soo cool my ssh based tool reports the login errors in a nice 
rebol alert box hehehe

:-)

putting them in .bashrc does work... ah well, if you can't beat the 
system, join it.

Yeah, I don't know the cause of your real problem

what's strange to me is that the echo within my sourced file was 
sent to the console, clearly indicating it was being call as a script, 
unless there are different bash script evaluation levels and I don't 
know how to set it up.

I'd say sourcing should have done the trick

me again with linux problems :(


I made binding to Haru PDF library ... it works on windows but now 
I am trying to make it work on lunux from where it will be serverd 
via cheyenne... the problem is that I have 64bit linux and so this 
libhpdf.so compiles as 64bit shared library

I looked on net and saw gcc can compile as 32bit with -m32 option 
if you have something called multibit "gcc -print-multi-lib" .. which 
I seem to have .. I changed ./configure to add this flag but then 
I get some c compilation errors ( I could sucsessfully compile it 
without this option) ...

Any ideas how to do this? I am trying to compile it now on my other 
VPS which is 32bit and copy file to the 64bit vps but I have no idea 
if this will work

I keep getting "internet busy.." on altme with the other computer

and my messages get "eaten".. aha here it works

I said over there "yipeee!!! .so compiled on 32bit debian and copied 
to 64bit one works!!

I get the same thing here. Reconnecting helps temporarily.

Any idea how to start a rebol script via ssh (I have a VPS) .. and 
detach it from my console so when I close it it won't stop running?


cheyene executable file does this automagically (I have no idea how) 
.. if I run cheyenne through .r script it exits with me .. but my 
problem now is not with cheyenne but I have a custom script that 
should run in the background. After googling yesterday I found out 
about >> nohup script-to-run & which seemed to still work if I closed 
ssh and started another one but now I see for the second time that 
after a while it exited as it isn't running any more ...

( I also tried to install daemontools before finding out about >nohup 
&< thing but it somehow didn't want to start working yet.. I intend 
to make this work but I need some easyer solution sooner, as I am 
sure there is something obvious I don't know )

custom script = custom rebol script

btw ... I have a wiki where I write down these things so I don't 
forget ..  http://www.manage-websites.com/doku.php?id=tutorial-linux-shell
 .. if you are linux-stupid like me maybe you can find something 
helpfull.. or you can add something :)
