Could you be more specific?  The only gtar I am familiar with is GNU
Tar; on the Solaris and HP/UX boxes around here it is installed as
/usr/local/bin/gtar.  On a Red Hat or Slackware Linux distribution it
is /bin/tar.  So aliasing gtar to tar should solve your problem, if
GNU tar is what you are seeking; the same goes for gfind, gls, gcp,
etc.  

If you're looking for something else, what is it?

Cordially,

  Sumner

Hi everybody, sorry for disturbing you, but I have a small problem ... I'm trying to compile programs using <math.h> header file under LINUX... My problem is that when I link the ".o" file, each call to "cos", "sin" or any other function is not found. The linking operation fails. If one could please help me...

Are you linking with the "-lm" option?  As in

gcc -o prog prog.o -lm

Add "-lm" to your link line; this links in the libm.a math library.

Make sure that you are linking in the math  library with the -lm flag when
you compile.

as far as I know, linux typically comes with gtar - but it is named "tar"
instead.  try this:

tar --help

the first line should print the version.

If for some reason that isn't gnu tar, you can download a version from
prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu and build it... i'm not sure where to look for
a pre-compiled version.

good luck!

I suspect he is coming from the OS/2 world: gtar is a version of gnutar
that has been modified to handle OS/2's extended attributes.  It also comes
with some device drivers for SCSI tapes.  If he means that, he doesn't need
it, since Linux doesn't supprt the EAs.  If he needs it, he is in the wrong
group and should repost the question in an OS/2 group (or look at Hobbes or
leo.org).

What has the fact that you are fogetting to put "-lm" got to do with GTAR?

I am looking for a vt340 terminal emualtor program for linux
to connect with a old VAX.  It has to be able to handle the REGIS
graphics.  Any Ideas ?  If not 340 emulation, what about 240 emulation ?

                                                Thanks.

I'm pretty sure there aren't any (I've seen a couple of vendors, looked at
demos that don't work).  If you _do_ find one that works, post the results.

I've been doing work on xterm to make it do vt220+ (so I'm mainly looking
at other emulators to test my mods to 'vttest').  You can get a copy of
the current vttest at

        ftp.clark.net:/pub/dickey/vttest

(I'll be uploading version 2.7 this weekend sometime, which finishes off the
vt220-level tests).
