More C coding Woes
by David Freeman 05 Jul '01

05 Jul '01

I have some code which when compiled gives this error In file included from file1.c:4, from file2.c:6: llist.h:14: redefinition of `Node_ptr' llist.h:14: `Node_ptr' previously declared here llist.h:17: redefinition of `struct Node` Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong. I know its something todo with #includes and where they are in which files etc... Thanks D ===== -------------------- "We all know Linux is great... it does infinite loops in 5 seconds."

I cant afford to loose it, so PPDD isnt really an option. I dont have a suse disk, so I'll just figure kerneli out. Thanks, Andrew

My problem is that there are several add-ons that one should > be able to introduce with such titles as X11, GCC, VNC, TEX, etc. I I tried to use this some time ago. Like you, I can get the first disk to boot, but not any of the others. I don't think it seems to be updated much any more? So, other than the "bootable business cards" (who can get them?) and the infernal Peanut ( ;-) ), what are people using for small distributions? -- MJR

Erm, are you sure the lines are formatted correctly? Did you see my "noauto" comment? Of course, then you need to mount them after you have whatever it is you wanted up and running (samba?). -- MJR

Hi John: I'm always pretty hesitant about offering advice as i am more or less usually completely wrong, but if you want to try a few things whilst waiting for an expert to comment on this, i would have said to take a look at your /etc/X11/XF86Config file - "pointers" section, or rerun XF86Config from a cli.

Not sure where i go wrong, but every time I try installing anything this happens, and I finally give up in a temper. It happened with rpm last week, postgresql7 last week, - oh, i did manage apache, wow. I must be making life much more complicated than it really is here. I can see a bcc package on the debain site, no cc. David freeman writes: >Why PHP? reply - firstly, it was mentioned in a casual kind of a manner on irc that in order to build web pages one had to learn php (i thought it was by you, actually!). secondly, it has now been recommended by my bro' as a neat simple solution to manipualting info in a web page. Thirdly, i don't speak c and can't write shell scripts, and were I to learn i'd probably have an even worse job trying to compile the c compiler! Out of the frying pan into the fire. Thanks, Jenny.

Many thanks for that. gcc now installed, all those devel tools that were kind of stuck (it was a bit like a dose of syrup of figs actually). php then successfully unpackaged, as did rpm....it was great! Of course, being me, nthing works still, but I thought Adam was being a bit optimistic on IRC last night telling me it would. I need to read up more on apache now, thanks for the pointers all. Re. the comments on the use of php...I was planning on using it for small intranet type reports that, eg, suck info out of a database into an html file, then learn java for more fully blown web stuff. Each to their own! Thanks! Jenny.
