by I am trying to install term (version 2.3.4) but am having problems. I
have read all the man pages and how-to's but I still can't get 'testterm'
to run correctly, nevermind trying to get it to run on a remote host.
Here is what I did:
First, I ran '/.configure --root'
Then, I ran 'make installnet installman' (to build term in private mode
with full networking)
Then I set the environmental variables
setenv TERMDIR $HOME
setenv TERMMODE 0
I also have my termrc file set up with the standard defaults.
Up to here everything is fine. However, when I run 'testterm' it just
hangs. I tried running 'testterm &' to run it in the background and
when I looked at 'ps -acux' I saw that there were indeed 2 versions
of term running (which is what I want). But when I then tried to
test the setup as described in the manpages with the command
'tupload ./term /usr/tmp'
I got the following error message:
:gethostbyname: Linux: Nonauthoritative `host not found' or server failed
Term: Failed to connect to term socket `/root/.term/socket'
I can't get past this point. I looked in my /etc/hosts and I have the line
127.0.0.1 Linux.org localhost
which seems normal.
I don't know what else to do.
If anyone has any ideas about what the problem might be I would appreciate
it if you could e-mail me (the news server I am connected to is sometimes
unrealiable). Thanks in advance.
