I went hunting for AIX RPM's that might have libgpgme.a in them. I found and retrieved one, it turned out to be for a different CPU but I was able to examine the libgpgme.a that came with it. It turned out the only module inside the libgpgme.a archive was --- libgpgme.so.11 !

This seems kind of silly to me. I'm not a Unix developer but I always thought that "libxxxxx.a" files held static object files, and "libxxxx.so" files held shared object files. I never noticed a shared library being stored as a module in a static library before.

Well, I have the libgpgme.so.11 file for my system, it's right there in /usr/local/lib, so I ran 'ar' and made a libgpgme.a library whose only module was the shared library. It works!! (Or at least, it gets me to the point of needing a cipher to decrypt the files I want to access.):

Code:

++++++++++++++++++++

I have to idea why my program (mupip) cannot simply find and use the shared library, but instead must open a static library and read the shared library from it. Has anybody ever encountered something like this?

Not that I'm complaining, I'm glad it works. But it seems silly.

set_color

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME

       set_color - set_color - set the terminal color

set_color - set the terminal color
   Synopsis
       set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]

   Description
       Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
       cyan, white and normal.

       o -b, --background Set the background color

       o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names

       o -h, --help Display help message and exit

       o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode

       o -u, --underline Set underlined mode

       o -v, --version Display version and exit

       Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.

       Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
       font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.

       Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.

       set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
       incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
       ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
