[OT:Emacs/Lisp]
by Q u a s i 04 Aug '01

04 Aug '01

I have used vim for whatever little lisping I did. It has good syntax highlighting, flashes the parenthesis etc. There are only two things I think vim does not do that emacs does (are there any more?). #1. Autoindent according to the number of parens open. #2. Run a lisp session in an emacs buffer. #1. I did manually. Is there any way to do it in vi that I do not know off? #2. this is not so much of a problem as I used two terminals open, one for vi and the other for lisp. I used gpm for copy paste. Emacs does not have syntax highlighting in the console mode I think. This font-lock-mode, it seems, works only if you open a emacs session from X. But I do not want to use X. Under X I think Xemacs is better that the emacs. Any reasons I should use emacs rather than vim? quasi. p.s. Philip what about tutorials on vim||emacs like the one on pine?

jdk1.3 redhat7.1 solved
by tushar kanti mohanty 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

hi guys i have finaly figured out what to do with jdk1.3 and redhat 7.1.the info may be a outdated as newer version of jdks have been launched but nevertheless this is what you have to do first set the envirnoment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the directory /usr/java/jdk1.3/jre/lib/i386/client & /usr/java/jdk1.3/jre/lib/i386/classic & /usr/java/jdk1.3/jre/lib/i386/server or where you have installed them then set the envirnoment variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 after this create a symlink for the cat file which redhat has removed from the past location after this you should be able to get java running the reason behind the setting of LD_ASSUME_KERNEL variable is the jdk1.3.o version is not working with the new floating stack feature of the i686 version of glibc.the problem is due to the assumptions made by jvm which are now invalid .this has been supposedly corrected by the new version of jdk .if you have 1.3 then force glibc to use the deprecated stack model by settting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 if any one has got some experience with GUI development in java please contact me individually not through the mailing list i am facing some problems . bye tushar _________________________________________________________ For Rs. 2,000,000 worth of Aptech scholarships click below http://events.rediff.com/aptechsch/scholarship.htm

Pablo had the following problem ............. I have a problem to connect with a modem from my Linux machine to a Linux server (modem is working, as other people can connect). The problem seems to be that my modem does not understand when it gets connected to the remote modem. First of all, to dial I have to use ATX1DT instead of ATDT, I do not know why. After the modems are connected, the "typical noise" comes and it never stops. I never get the login prompt. =========================================== Pablo, i hope u r using wvdial, (if not use it! its good). anyways, in wvdial.conf there is an option "Carrier Check". disable it. u will have to edit wvdial.conf in /etc directory. just add Carrier Check = No in the file. this should do the trick. and the gvc modem cannot understand the usual mtnl tones so ATX1D instead of ATDT!! regards sagar ===== When you have hit rock bottom, The only way you can go is UP! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
