World: r3wp

Well that is a start.

ew, no async back then. I think there is a work around, but its not 
pretty.

I'm producing a Linux server OS including REBOL, that could be used 
if the router is x86

If the router is ARM, REBOL is a problem, but the Boron or Red languages 
could be used, depending on your needs

@DocKimbel: Thanks! There is a README file in the /etc/rc3.d/ directory 
that indicates to rename the file to a Knnapache2. I'll do it and 
see what blows up. :))

Ryan, I think Luis was doing some rebol on routers back in the day 
but I could be mistaken.

@Gabriele: - Thank you!! Very good resource ....

Thanks James. I heard someone had done it before. I have pretty much 
decided to scrap the idea for the time being. I seem to be stuck 
on the x86 platform for the time being, and x86 routers are expensive.

Jaime Vargas had a commercial wireless router with embedded Rebol

That was really heavy duty outdoors stuff

Ryan, as long as you're on x86, you could consider Syllable Server:

http://web.syllable.org/pages/about.html#Server

What price range are you aiming for, Ryan? In my experience, x86 
router-like devices are certainly more expensive than the concurring 
architectures, but not prohibitively so.

I.e. EUR 100/USD 130 for a reasonable x86 router box is certainly 
doable.

(Thinking about Alix/Soekris/Orbit Micro-style devices here.)

Under $200 for the router and server (or just router).  Syllable 
sounds tempting.  Can I run stunnel or something else for SSL support?

Does syllable run cheyenne? Can it do something like festival text 
to speech?

Syllable Server includes Cheyenne preconfigured. We're running a 
number of sites on it

SSL can be added to Cheyenne by putting NginX or indeed STunnel in 
front of it, but I haven't done that yet

I am running NginX in front of Cheyenne now without SSL, but it's 
not integrated in a Syllable release yet. I plan to do that in a 
new Syllable Server release in a few months

Before that, single packages can be added or upgraded within Syllable 
Server

Compiling Festival should be possible, too, but it has a few dependencies, 
so those would have to be compiled, as well

Other TTS packages such as FLite or eSpeak could also be used

Is following aproach safe to my server? :-) I use Zentyal, which 
is an add-on upon Ubuntu. My SDK REBOL/Command is screaming it can't 
find libstdc++.so.5

http://re-bol.com/rebol_ubuntu1004.txt

Hmm, does not work, so ....

install the ia32-libs thru your package manager, that should be enough

(apt-get install ia32-libs; no idea about zentyal, though)

hmm, following worked for my "Ubuntu":


wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-3.3/libstdc++5_3.3.6-18_i386.deb

sudo dpkg -i libstdc++5_3.3.6-18_i386.deb

Where should I put my rebol executable ideally?

/usr/local/bin

or /opt/rebol-<version>/bin

libstdc++.so.5 is an antiquated version of the C++ system library, 
for GCC 3. The current version, for GCC 4, is libstdc++.so.6

There's probably still a compatibility package for it in Ubuntu, 
which would be the safe way to install it

That package is `ia32-libs` on amd64 (pre-multiarch) and `libstdc++5` 
on i386 (and multiarch amd64). Except for Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid" (the 
current LTS), for which it was decided to drop this ancient version 
of libstdc++ (a decision which was later reversed).

OK, now my rebcmd starts. The other problem is, where does it look 
for the license.key? It is not recognised, when placed to /usr/local/bin, 
neither when it is placed to the dir from where I invoke rebcmd ...

novice questions towards Linux shell usage:

$ cd ~/beagleboard_xm
 $ sudo ./mkmmc-android.sh <Your SD card device e.g:/dev/sdc>

1) what does tilda char means on the first line?

2) I was standing right inside the directory, but could not run the 
scrip, unless I put ./ in there too. What does it do?

tilda = your home directory instead of typing /home/blah/

./ is an abbreviation of the current directory and is required, because 
the script is not in your PATH environment variable.

because the script
 => "because the script path"

ok, thanks. I thought that once I am "standing" in the directory 
(shell shows /home/user/beagleboard_xm), then script in "current-dir" 
is going to be visible. But that is sometimes tricky, I use Midnight 
commande and ctrl+o to switch to console, which puts me sometimes 
in different directory ...

The only files that are visible to the shell are the ones in PATH. 
once they are visible to PATH, you can enter them directly. I'm thinking 
this is for security reasons to avoid replacing shell commands with 
malicious executables.

Yes

There are places where you could add ./ to your PATH

** User Error: REBOL: Cannot obtain default font
** Near: size-text self

Running View on a 11.04 Ubuntu (a user from #red-lang on Freenode). 
Any simple workaround?

(error pops up when launching rebol/view)

Maybe some font missing? (Eg. the old, standard X bitmap fonts, you 
may have to emerge them separately as I don't think normal linux 
apps use them anymore.) Regards, Gabriele.


Ta-dah! I didn't have the bitmap fonts in my font path. Running now. 
Now I just have to work out what it is! :) thanks Jonathan.

Any Ubuntu package name for those old X bitmap fonts?

Ok, got them from this channel history. Thanks Graham!
