Hi everybody! I have a question. I had a computer with mandrake 9.2 (I think) and I had Maple 9 installed on it. I have a new computer with Mandrake 10.0 on it, but when I try to install Maple it gives me the following error message; %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [root@localhost cdrom]# ./installMapleLinuxSU Error: failed /mnt/cdrom/Linux/Linux/resource/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so, because libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The install documentation says (among other things) the following, which I think is relevant: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% libstdc++.so.2.9 ================ Maple 9 for Linux is distributed with a binary version of libstdc++.so.2.9, which is needed for Maple 9 to run smoothly on all supported Linux platforms. The libstdc++.so.2.9 binary is part of the egcs-1.1.2 compiler, and in compliance with the GPL, the source has been made available www.maplesoft.com/support/Downloads/egcs-1.1.2.tar.gz. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The document egcs-1.1.2.tar.gz is not on the maple website (although it seems to be available elsewhere on the web). I downloaded the file, but now I am hesitant about whether to install it or not. It seems complicated and I am a total newbie, so I am afraid I will screw it up. Should I install it or is there an easier way to fix the problem?? Thanks a lot for the help!! rubeno

Qchem and Gowator, It works now guys!!! :D Thanks a lot!!!! It took me a while to understand what you guys meant, but I figured out that I should load the package called "kernel source". I did, except that my kernel is 2.6.3-7mdksmp and the only one that appeared was 2.6.3-7mdk I figured that it was worth a try and I loaded it. After that, I reinstalled the driver given on the broadcom site, with the only change being that the package it created was the "i586" one instead of the "i386", as the instructions given within had said! Once I did that, I just installed the network using MCC and now I am writing to you from my new computer!!! Thanks a lot guys!!! I have a couple of other things I want to consult the experts, but I'd create a new thread for them (and they are not network related!!!). Thanks a lot guys! I do appreciate your help a lot, and I did learn quite a bit!! rubeno

I went into the software manager at mcc, but how do I access the kernel or how do I modify it? And to what? (sorry, I am a total newbie!!!). urpmi? Sorry, you'll have to explain that too!! :(

It gives the following: ////////////////////////////////////////////// processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.60GHz stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 3592.182 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 3 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe pni monitor ds_cpl est cid bogomips : 7110.65 processor : 1 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.60GHz stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 3592.182 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 3 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe pni monitor ds_cpl est cid bogomips : 7176.19 Thanks again for the help!! rubeno

I tried the second driver (according to the readme.txt file, that was the correct one for my linux version). After following the instructions to install the RPM package, and I can thorugh the first two steps, which are: 1. Install the source RPM package. rpm -ivh bcm5700-7.3.5-1.src.rpm 2. CD to the RPM path: cd /usr/src/RPM and build the binary driver: rpmbuild -bb SPECS/bcm5700.spec (for RPM version 4.x.x) (I checked and my version is 4.2.2) It then starts doing a whole bunch of stuff (here it is), and it fails at the end: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [root@localhost RPM]# rpmbuild -bb SPECS/bcm5700.spec Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.42994 + umask 022 + cd /usr/src/RPM/BUILD + cd /usr/src/RPM/BUILD + rm -rf bcm5700-7.3.5 + /bin/mkdir -p bcm5700-7.3.5 + cd bcm5700-7.3.5 + /usr/bin/gzip -dc /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES/bcm5700-7.3.5.tgz + tar -xvvf - -rw-r--r-- root/root 1935 2004-06-22 18:25:24 5701rls.c -rw-r--r-- root/root 7954 2004-06-22 18:25:24 5701rls.h -rw-r--r-- root/root 7243 2004-06-22 18:25:24 DISTRIB.TXT -rw-r--r-- root/root 15153 2004-06-22 18:25:24 LICENSE -rw-r--r-- root/root 4373 2004-06-22 18:25:24 Makefile -rw-r--r-- root/root 19623 2004-06-22 18:25:24 README.TXT -rw-r--r-- root/root 51001 2004-06-22 18:25:24 RELEASE.TXT -rw-r--r-- root/root 14209 2004-06-22 18:25:24 autoneg.c -rw-r--r-- root/root 14308 2004-06-22 18:25:24 autoneg.h -rw-r--r-- root/root 25339 2004-06-22 18:25:24 b57diag.c -rw-r--r-- root/root 17126 2004-06-22 18:25:24 b57proc.c -rw-r--r-- root/root 134477 2004-06-22 18:25:24 b57um.c -rw-r--r-- root/root 16831 2004-06-22 18:25:24 bcm5700.4 -rw-r--r-- root/root 2486 2004-06-22 18:25:24 bits.h -rw-r--r-- root/root 13411 2004-06-22 18:25:24 fw_lso05.h -rw-r--r-- root/root 24994 2004-06-22 18:25:24 fw_stkoffld.h -rw-r--r-- root/root 19688 2004-06-22 18:25:24 lm.h -rw-r--r-- root/root 14874 2004-06-22 18:25:24 mm.h -rw-r--r-- root/root 8520 2004-06-22 18:25:24 nicext.h -rw-r--r-- root/root 11780 2004-06-22 18:25:24 queue.h -rw-r--r-- root/root 3941 2004-06-22 18:25:24 tcp_seg.c -rw------- root/root 259456 2004-06-22 18:25:24 tigon3.c -rw-r--r-- root/root 128738 2004-06-22 18:25:24 tigon3.h + STATUS=0 + '[' 0 -ne 0 ']' + /usr/bin/gzip -dc /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES/bcm5700-7.3.5.tgz + tar -xvvf - -rw-r--r-- root/root 1935 2004-06-22 18:25:24 5701rls.c -rw-r--r-- root/root 7954 2004-06-22 18:25:24 5701rls.h -rw-r--r-- root/root 7243 2004-06-22 18:25:24 DISTRIB.TXT -rw-r--r-- root/root 15153 2004-06-22 18:25:24 LICENSE -rw-r--r-- root/root 4373 2004-06-22 18:25:24 Makefile -rw-r--r-- root/root 19623 2004-06-22 18:25:24 README.TXT -rw-r--r-- root/root 51001 2004-06-22 18:25:24 RELEASE.TXT -rw-r--r-- root/root 14209 2004-06-22 18:25:24 autoneg.c -rw-r--r-- root/root 14308 2004-06-22 18:25:24 autoneg.h -rw-r--r-- root/root 25339 2004-06-22 18:25:24 b57diag.c -rw-r--r-- root/root 17126 2004-06-22 18:25:24 b57proc.c -rw-r--r-- root/root 134477 2004-06-22 18:25:24 b57um.c -rw-r--r-- root/root 16831 2004-06-22 18:25:24 bcm5700.4 -rw-r--r-- root/root 2486 2004-06-22 18:25:24 bits.h -rw-r--r-- root/root 13411 2004-06-22 18:25:24 fw_lso05.h -rw-r--r-- root/root 24994 2004-06-22 18:25:24 fw_stkoffld.h -rw-r--r-- root/root 19688 2004-06-22 18:25:24 lm.h -rw-r--r-- root/root 14874 2004-06-22 18:25:24 mm.h -rw-r--r-- root/root 8520 2004-06-22 18:25:24 nicext.h -rw-r--r-- root/root 11780 2004-06-22 18:25:24 queue.h -rw-r--r-- root/root 3941 2004-06-22 18:25:24 tcp_seg.c -rw------- root/root 259456 2004-06-22 18:25:24 tigon3.c -rw-r--r-- root/root 128738 2004-06-22 18:25:24 tigon3.h + STATUS=0 + '[' 0 -ne 0 ']' + exit 0 Executing(%build): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.42994 + umask 022 + cd /usr/src/RPM/BUILD + cd bcm5700-7.3.5 + make make -C SUBDIRS=/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/bcm5700-7.3.5 modules make: *** SUBDIRS=/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/bcm5700-7.3.5: No such file or directory.

Sigh!! Thanks again! ruben

Thanks a lot guys!! I do feel we are getting somewhere!!! After the uname -r command, I get: 2.6.3-7mdksmp I'll download both drivers, but how do I check which one will work? And how do you run them? (or install them?). Again, thanks a lot, you guys are being great!! ruben

I just did that, but the network card (and the sound card) still don't work. Oh, well! Thanks, and I'll keep trying to figure it out! ruben

Do it over? I guess I could try that if nothing else works .... thanks ruben

I tried that but I didn't work! :o Thanks anyway! ruben

I typed that, to see what I got. I copy below the (I think) relevant information.

Tried that one (and the similar ones) but they don'w work either!! Thanks anyway! ruben

Wow! For a newbie: can you explain how to set lilo so that it does the "force no apic" ? Thanks! ruben

Hi everyone! I installed Mandrake 10.0 on my new Dell Dimension 8400, but for some reason it does not find the ethernet card! I think I have an Intel PRO 1000 NIC, but when I use drakeconnect to configure my internet connection it tells me that I have to manually add the connection and asks me what "network/main driver should I try?". It then gives me a huge list but none of the ones I've tried so far seem to work! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks a lot from a newbie! ruben

Also, I thing I forgot to mention that I think my computer has an Intel Pro 1000 NIC. Thanks

Hi! I was just installing 10.0 on my new Dell Dimension, and I was not able to install it (partition and all) until I made the switch above. The problem I have now is that windows will not start unless I make the switch back (but then mandrake will not start!). I was thinking that the solution might be to re-install windows now, but I read somewhere that this might cause some problems. Any ideas? Also, I'm having problems because linux does not recognize the network card (when I try using drakconnect, it only gives me the "manual choice" and then a big list of "networl/main driver" things. I tried a few of them, but none work. Thanks a lot! ruben p.s. By the way, I am kind of a newbie too, so please don't be too technical!
