Hi HP,

re: Did you get the reply?

>No, no reply detected.

OK.  Thanks for letting me know!

>Anyway, my emailing is now up and running again.

Very good.

re: me relying on users to understand which shell definintion file to use
>What I duly did.

Yes.  The comment in the email I sent yesterday was specific about
relying on users -- like you -- to figure this out :-)

re: the website for YaST2 that I found through Google

>That is the keyword I was looking for. I seems to me what I would need

I am uncertain about this being the particular one since it looks like
this might contain man pages.

On my work Fedora Core 5 Linux machine, I was able to use the 'rpm'
facility to figure out which package (RPM) X development stuff was
in:

% rpm -q -f /usr/include/X11/Xlib.h
libX11-devel-1.0.0-3.FC5.0

The same query on my home Fedora Core 6 machine yields:

# rpm -q -f /usr/include/X11/Xlib.h
libX11-devel-1.0.3-6.fc6

This will likely not work for you since this form of 'rpm' requires
the user to specify the name of a file that has been installed
in order to figure out what package it came from.

However, I would say that the name of the RPM that you should be looking
for would be similar to the two listed above.

We do not maintain repositories of RPMs for Linux since they are
specific to the distribution being used.

It is snowing here at my house at the moment.  I was supposed to
go skiing today, but the roads are very bad; several have been
closed by bad accidents.

On a completely different topic:  UCAR is hosting a conference in
Ougadougou, Burkina Faso on April 2-6.  I just sent a note to
Volker asking if there is any way that EUMETSAT could send you
(in addition to Henk Verschuur) to participate.  I think that
your input would be invaluable given your active involement with
Don and Jeff on IDV development.  What do you think?

Cheers,

Tom
