It is released under the GNU GPLv2 Currently it supports Javascript, Java, C++, C#, Python, Ruby and Shellscript(bash). I would appreciate it if some of you could take a look at it.

congratulations and thanks
by Nagarjuna G. 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

My hearty congratulations to all of you, who made the gnowledge.org portal launch a great event. let us all continue to make this one of the largest collaborative portals in the world. Though the event marks the end of a project, for those who are in it, it is a beginning. The gnowledge portal team is now ready to take calls to conduct workshops to introduce the new way of organizing a very large amount of free knowledge that already exists on the Internet. Best way to begin is to register at the portal and begin contributing in your area of work. We can all decide together, how to shape this portal in future. Nagarjuna

Errors while Installing the Glibc-2.4.6
by James Smith 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

I'm building and installing the Glibc-2.4.6 library and getting the following errors when I install: Entering state 2 Reading a token: Now at end of input. Reducing stack by rule 2 (line 345), extdefs -> program Stack now 0 Entering state 1 Now at end of input. /tools/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.0.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: : No such file: No such file or directory collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Execution of gcc failed! The script has found some problems with your installation! Please read the FAQ and the README file and check the following: - Did you change the gcc specs file (necessary after upgrading from Linux libc5)? - Are there any symbolic links of the form libXXX.so to old libraries? Links like libm.so -> libm.so.5 (where libm.so.5 is an old library) are wrong, libm.so should point to the newly installed glibc file - and there should be only one such link (check e.g. /lib and /usr/lib) You should restart this script from your build directory after you've fixed all problems! Btw. the script doesn't work if you're installing GNU libc not as your primary library! make[1]: *** [install] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tools/glibc-2.3.6' make: *** [install] Error 2 root:/tools/glibc-2.3.6-build# I check everything listed above maybe I missed something. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks, Jim --------------------------------- Never Miss an Email Stay connected with Yahoo! Mail on your mobile. Get started!

Edubuntu 6.06 LTS on Acer 2428 Report.
by Rony 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Hello All, The knowledge.org DVD that was released today has an Edubuntu 6.06 LTS iso in it. Just to try it out I burned it into a CD. It loaded smoothly in the pc for a live session. Then it was tried on the Acer 2428 laptop too and not only was the live session good but it installed smoothly into the HDD too. What I remember is that during a demo camp for linux, Ubuntu 6.06 as well as 6.10 threw up problems with Acer 2428 laptops. On mine too Ubuntu 6.10 would hang. Those lappys had to be loaded with Kubuntu 6.06. However Edubuntu 6.06 does not seem to have any issues with Acer 2428 and it uses the gnome desktop just like Ubuntu (which does not work on it). Another advantage of edubuntu over ubuntu is that its gnome comes loaded with graphics softwares like Scribus, Paint, Video Editor, Draw etc. So its more than just a distro for kids. Its for the aunties and uncles. However I could not play VCDs. Anyway I am used to it now. Wireless support for gnome is in-built so unlike kde, there is no separate wireless manager. Its handled by the 'Networking' utility in the 'Administration' menu under 'System'. Once your WAP is up, simply use the networking utility and under the blank list of available networks, a click on the drop down list will reveal your WAP's name below. Don't get confused by the blank space initially. Overall, a much better option than Ubuntu. Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ All new Yahoo!

Computer le lo aur Linux training PHREE!!
by Siddhesh Poyarekar 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

That's what I heard in the background when my sister called me this evening. I got her to pick up the pamplet and found that a company named Vinsoft Technologies was doing this. It's providing packages of computers+AMC+training. Also, apparently there's some big poster on Churchgate station on Linux as well. I didn't get a chance to see that though. Publicity is good :) At least it will make the name familiar to those who don't have a clue. -- Siddhesh Poyarekar http://siddhesh.tk
