Thanks for the info, Bruce. I'll try that version.

another question about JWM... : on the page http://joewing.net/programs/jwm/config.shtml#mouse it says : Mouse Bindings * Any button on the root window will bring up the root menu. * The right button will show the window menu on the frame. * The left button will resize if on the border or move if in ...

Some programs seem to need special variables or lines set in a system file. Let's say, we have to add a line in the file '/root/.xinitrc' after installing a PET package. for example : export VARIABLE_NAME="VARIABLE_VALUE" then you can't just append a line to '/root/.xinitrc',as it would cause some ...

Okay I finally found the right thing to do to make scim-bridge work.: First, install the SCIM package compiled with ' ./configure' and not './configure --prefix=/usr' (you already know that you have to link some files in '/usr/X11R7' and '/usr/lib' to do this.) Then, to comiple scim-bridge , run a ...

If it's tough to figure out, that answers my question. I'm new to Linux, so I want to avoid a situation where that shortcut exists some where else and is really useful.
Thanks.

Okay, I can see SCIM launched when I boot, I thought it was all done, but can't go any further. I can launch SCIM Setup, but can't see Generic table . The only items I see are : - SCIM - FrontEnd -> Global Setup - IMEngine -> Global Setup - Panel -> GTK. So I can't install tables. And CTRL+Space ...

In JWM Configuration -> keyboard shortcuts, i want to add a new one. I tried Ctrl+Tab and Shift+Tab but they both conflict with basic applications. And according to their manual, Caps Lock and NumLock is not supported. So can someone tell me if Alt+`(below ESC) will conflict with something? Does any ...

Then I ran Puppy package manager and uninstalled it.

edit : Solved.

AFAIK, you'd have to modify the petget script so that before copying the files it checks if any of them exist first. You could have it make a list and then show the list and ask if it should back them up somewhere. Yes, I know those aren't ideal solutions :roll: It seems close to the ideal solution ...

It took some time, but I found it. Thank you.

A common way of dealing with lib files that aren't where you want them, is to make a link instead of copying. It does the same job, and takes up a bit less room in the pup_save file. Yes, I symlinked them with the shell command 'ln' following your advice, and it compiles well. Thanks for letting me ...

grep: /usr/X11R7/lib/libxcb-xlib.la It tells you where it's looking. If the file exists, but not there, you should be able to symlink there. Yes, that solved the problem. Thanks, Bruce. But wouldn't there be a way to tell 'make' to look into the right folder, instead? I personally think that the ...

So that was the right solution...
Since I'm a beginner, I was reluctant to copy them to somewhere else and mess up with the directory structure, as it didn't seem normal.
But copying them will hopefully solve the problem.
Then I'll go try this, Thanks!

Sometimes I need full path of a file ( to use it with rxvt for example ) so I did this very simple script . #!/bin/bash gxmessage "$1" Right button - Open With - Customize >>> New Script ( Paste above text to script) I succesfully made your script, and it's very useful. but when I select 'Customize ...

This must be something very basic for more experienced people, but I'm stuck while compiling SCIM. I did as follows in the uncompressed directory: 1) ./configure --prefix=/usr 2) make and got an error message after quite a while: grep: /usr/X11R7/lib/libxcb-xlib.la: No such file or directory /bin ...

I'm trying to build SCIM 1.4.7 (www.scim-im.org) as follows: 1) ./configure --prefix=/usr 2) make and get an error message: grep: /usr/X11R7/lib/libxcb-xlib.la: No such file or directory /bin/sed: can't read /usr/X11R7/lib/libxcb-xlib.la: No such file or directory libtool: link: `/usr/X11R7/lib ...

okay, then i'll try slackware packages. Thanks.

Where do I get the latest version of debain installer? on the following page (DEB installer by MU) : http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=6743 at least beta 8 is out, but the latest one i can find is beta 1 in PSI, and it doesn't work for me. Also, on the following page : PSI: Puppy Software ...

-xdev works well, and -prune works too, but i have to learn it more.

Thanks, zigbert. Thanks, muggins.

I'm planning to install glibc on my Puppy. But after reading this thread, I don't know what to do. It seems that i won't be able to do a clean uninstallation, or upgrade it later without leaving some useless files. Does this mean that other pet packages are also likely to damage some part of Puppy ...
