World: r3wp

Remind me to check that out later.

Graham: It looks that the version of Rebol you are using on the Fedora 
system has no freetype2 support otherwise you would see in the LDD 
output something like:
libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x42487000)

hang on ..

going to download the latest linux again ...

looking at builds /042 .. the latest rebview seems to be Dec 05 ??

Anyway, I'm not too interested in the rebview .. just the sdk.

I'm not really sure in which Linux exe Carl build or not the Freetype 
support. I only tested under Mepis distribution. I agree Carl should 
release new Linux SDK so all versions for all distros are in sync.

Playing with View 1.2.1 REQUEST-FILE

You can bind the patched REQUEST-FILE body to the REQ-FILE context, 
and that makes it work.

I think there's no need for that, however.
All you need to do is this:

replace/all select req-file/start-out [out: layout] 'slider 'scroller

thanks Anton .. let me try that.

Did it work ?

Yep.  Thanks.

Cool, thanks. I'll write that down.

Has anyone experience with this one: http://www.openpkg.org

I've got a samba share but although I can see files there from the 
linux side, they don't show up on the windows side.  If I drop files 
to the share from the windows side, I can see them.  Is this a permissions 
thing?

not set to readable by world

what's the numeric equivalent of -rw-rw-rw-  ?

currently these incoming files are set to 0600

666
(Spooky!)

only if you belong in the chit chat group!

No, ghosts are real!;)

specially in britain, i gues sunanda  is  there?

where should I start up a script that needs to run with root priviliges 
on boot ?

should I specify that my rebol script is in /etc/inittab ?

generally you place a bash script in /etc/init.d/

and rebol scripts ?

then you symlink it in the /etc/rcx.d/ dirs (your distro will have 
ways to do this automatically)

in theory rebol scripts should work too provided you have the correct 
shebang line

however... you can always have a very simple shell script that calls 
rebol yourscript.r

(scripts in init.d should take certain standard args, so if your 
rebol script doesn't you're going to need a wrapper script anyway)

what do you mean by symlink?

symbolic link, see the LN command

eg. "/etc/init.d/yourscript start" should start the service, "stop" 
should stop it and so on.

symbolic link, ln -s

ln -s orig link

Ok.

see ls -alh /etc/rc3.d/ for eg

(ooh, I should be careful using capitals like that.)

not VMS anymore

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Init

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel

then check your distro's docs about how to manage the scripts in 
init.d

my little fax monitor script that was supposed to pick up new faxes 
and ftp them to me failed as it lacked the permissions to read the 
file

I guess I must have started it as root before when it was working.

yep, although it may not be necessary to give it root privileges

avoiding giving anything more permission than it need is a good thing

so, how would I read the files I need to then?

it depends on your fax drivers/software
