[McIDAS #HGO-210449]: Shared memory allocation problem in Slackware 10.2

Hi HP,

re:

Its good to know that SuSE Linux includes this standard utility :-)

Yes.  Unfortunately, shell implementations differ on different OSes.
It would be too voluminous to try and list all the various combinations
that a user is likely to see on his/her machine.  I chose, therefore,
to list the ones from systems that we use in-house and hope that users
figure out which files to make the modifications in just like you did.

The makelog entries:

gcc -c -O -I. -I../netcdf/libsrc -I../hdf/hdf/src -I../hdf/mfhdf/libsrc 
-I../jpeg -I../zlib -I../tiff/libtiff -I../libgeotiff enh24.c

indicates either that your machine dies not have a full development environment 
installed,
or that the X11 stuff is installed in a different (non-standard) location in 
SuSE
Linux (this is not likely).

Have you looked through the following site for info on how to run YaST:

http://www.suse.de/~sh/YaST2-Package-Manager/

Partway down, I see an interesting comment about displaying all available 
packages:

Improved RPM Groups View

When you select a higher-level RPM group, you now immediately see all packages 
in that category:
A click on Development now immediately shows all packages for development. Of 
course you can
still refine that by selecting a subcategory like Libraries or C and C++ - but 
you no longer have to.

In addition to that, there is a special entry zzz All (all the way down the 
group tag tree) that
displays all available packages.  

It might be that YaST2 has everything you need to list development packages AND 
download and
install them.  I would test out this thought if I had access to a SuSE machine, 
but, unfortunately,
I don't.

> Cheers from the warmest winter ever, HP

This is a scary comment!  I was in The Netherlands at the beginning of December 
and
I was told that it was some 14C above normal.  Interestingly, the weather here 
in
Colorado is the snowiest it has been in the past decade (the length of time that
I have lived in my current house) -- and I'm loving the snow!

I noticed that the From: address was a bit odd (the user name is '103716', but 
the
address itself is OK:  address@hidden

Cheers,
