GTK+ hates me
I am very new to the linux environment. I have been interested in it for years but have just recently had the courage to pop that install disk into my PC. Because of it's ease of installation, I installed Mandrake 9.1 and I'm running KDE3.1 for my GUI. Right now I'm trying to conquer the world of building and installing software using the shell... I've read all the documentation and I think I'm understanding it correctly, but I'm having no luck.
Here's what's happening...
In order to install programs like GAIM and GIMP I have to have GTK+ and Glib installed (according to the error i recieved trying to install GAIM). I have downloaded and extracted the tar files for Glib, I ran ./configure, make, and make install and I didn't recieve any errors so I assumed that it installed correctly (all of this was done from the /usr/local/src directory with root btw). I then tried to install GTK+ and it tells me that I have to have GLIB installed!!! Which leads me to believe that I didn't install Glib correctly. So... I find myself sitting late at night staring at the shell dumbfounded. I'm sure i'm missing something that is obvious to users that have been running linux for longer than 4 days, so I would really appreciate it if somebody could point out what i'm doing wrong!
You can even point & laugh and call me names - i'm ok with it ;-) THANKS ALL!

i need to get rid of lilo's splash screen.
i've heard that you can edit your /etc/lilo.conf and add this line:
<b>append="splash=0"</b>
anyway, i did that and i still have a splash screen. any idea why that didn't work, or what is another way to disable the splash screen?
okay,

Hi,
So, I have a GTK based GUI app. I used GTKdevel-2.24 to develop and compile it on two different distros of linux: Fedora 14 and Linaro (tablet). All of my code was the same for each but compiled on each platform separately (32bit and ARM).
Both distros run the application. On Fedora 14... (0 Replies)

LINUX(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual LINUX(4)
NAME
linux -- Linux ABI support
SYNOPSIS
To compile support for this ABI into an i386 kernel place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
options COMPAT_LINUX
for an amd64 kernel use:
options COMPAT_LINUX32
Alternatively, to load the ABI as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
linux_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The linux module provides limited Linux ABI (application binary interface) compatibility for userland applications. The module provides the
following significant facilities:
o An image activator for correctly branded elf(5) executable images
o Special signal handling for activated images
o Linux to native system call translation
It is important to note that the Linux ABI support it not provided through an emulator. Rather, a true (albeit limited) ABI implementation
is provided.
The following sysctl(8) tunable variables are available:
compat.linux.osname Linux kernel operating system name.
compat.linux.osrelease Linux kernel operating system release. Changing this to something else is discouraged on non-development systems,
because it may change the way Linux programs work. Recent versions of GNU libc are known to use different syscalls
depending on the value of this sysctl.
compat.linux.oss_version Linux Open Sound System version.
The linux module can be linked into the kernel statically with the COMPAT_LINUX kernel configuration option or loaded as required. The fol-
lowing command will load the module if it is neither linked into the kernel nor already loaded as a module:
if ! kldstat -v | grep -E 'linux(aout|elf)' > /dev/null; then
kldload linux > /dev/null 2>&1
fi
Note that dynamically linked Linux executables will require a suitable environment in /compat/linux. Specifically, the Linux run-time
linker's hints files should be correctly initialized. For this reason, it is common to execute the following commands to prepare the system
to correctly run Linux executables:
if [ -x /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig ]; then
/compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig -r /compat/linux
fi
For information on loading the linux kernel loadable module automatically on system startup, see rc.conf(5). This information applies
regardless of whether the linux module is statically linked into the kernel or loaded as a module.
