Ah well and what if everyone thinks like that, do you expect the
few regulars here to be able to answer the massive amount of
questions?
 

Already outdated, try Fedora if you like RH or another recent
distro.
 

Wouldn't it be better to fix your broken system then simply
dropping those mails? If you post one of those mails, we could
have a look and perhaps someone knows what to do, if you can't
figure it out.

how do arithmetic operations with floating point no in shell script

Posted: 16 Jul 2004 05:03 AM PDT

There's no need to use an external program for integer arithmeitc;
it's built into the bash shell:

echo $(( 33 * 2 + 3 ))
 

bc does floating point.
 

I usually use awk:

calc()
{
n=`awk 'BEGIN {print '"$*"'}'`
}

calc '(123 + 321) * 1.5'
calc 23 \* 12


One can also write shell functions for arithmetic using decimal
fractions, e.g.:

fpmul() {
places=
tot=1
shift=0
qm=
neg=

for fpn
do
case $fpn in
-*) [ "$neg" = '-' ] && neg= || neg='-'
fpn=${fpn#-}
;;
esac
case $fpn in
.*) int=
dec=${fpn#?}
tot=$(( $tot * $dec ))
places=$places$dec
;;

*.*) dec=${fpn#*.}
int=${fpn%.*}
places=$places$dec
tot=$(( $tot * $int$dec ))
;;
*) tot=$(( $tot * $fpn ));;
esac
done

while [ ${#qm} -lt ${#places} ]
do
qm=$qm'?'
done

while [ ${#qm} -gt ${#tot} ]
do
tot=0$tot
done
int=${tot%$qm}
dec=${tot#$int}
_FPMUL=$neg$int${dec:+.$dec}
[ ${SILENT_FUNCS:-0} = 1 ] || echo "${_FPMUL}"
}


fpmul 2.5 4
fpmul 1.2 3.4 5.6

FTP question

Don't know WS_FTP, presuming you are looking for a GUI ftp
client, AFAIR the native KDE file manager (Konqueror) supports
ftp among a bunch of other protocols directly, try putting
"ftp://ftpserver.tld" in the location bar, save some bookmarks if
it works for you.

Good luck

Thanks Davide.

Please ignore my post. Dataflame support has now told me their system
stops remote access, this contradicts what they earlier told me which was
remote access was ok.

Thanks,

Hi Jean-David!
 

Yep.
[..]

Random guess, as the OP missed to give us info about the distro
he's running, he's needs the compat-libstdc++-? package for Red
Hat 7.3 backwards compatibility to get things working, perhaps
one or another symlink and running 'ldconfig'.

From my box:

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 31 May 14 21:54 /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 -> libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so

There are a few more of them:

compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.128
compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.128
compat-glibc-7.x-2.2.4.32.6

Maybe you can find a *fam file in the /etc/xinetd.d/ directory.
Add (or change) the option

service fam
{

disable = yes
}

and restart the xinetd program.

Finding a modem with COM/IRQ jumpers

Posted: 12 Jul 2004 10:10 AM PDT

Great stuff, everyone. Thank you!

I am glad to hear about the USR modem, which I may try, and the
external serial modem option. I am especially glad to get the advice
on building my own driver, which I have wanted to try for a while,
now. One of the cooler things I have always admired about the Linux
community is their willingness to write software to fit their
situation. I can't imagine needing to do the same on a Winbox!

I appreciate your help, folks.

I am log on as root when insmod:

<rootttyp1[iL_hybrid]# insmod -f il.o>

I'm also running the files off a USB key.
It's the following lines I don't understand:

<il.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.>
