Jmax3 0 Posted November 11, 2004 I'm pretty new to Linux but , is this what you are looking for? http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/manual2/killingprocesses.html Share this post Link to post

danleff 0 Posted November 12, 2004 What are you trying to install? From source, or rpm? Go to the Mandrake Control Panel and install software section (I think it is start-->configure-->configure your computer-->install softare) and look to see if libstdc++5 rpm is installed. Also look for the devel package. If either or both are not installed, do so. When you installed Mandrake, I bet you did not choose to install the development files. These libraries are needed to compile packages. Share this post Link to post
egorgry 0 Posted November 12, 2004 init 1 will bring you down to single user mode and kill all services and put you in a maintence mode. pkill X may work but I think X tries to respawn you can pkill gdm too that will do it. Share this post Link to post
paultazzyman 0 Posted November 12, 2004 Try the following "rpm -q --whatprovides libstdc++.so.5" this should return "libstdc++-3.3.3-7" Then try "yum upgrade libstdc++-3.3.3-7" and the whole thing should just happen like pure magic. If it doesn't you were obviously holding your tongue out of the wrong side of your mouth so try replacing upgrade with install. Share this post Link to post

SoulNothing 0 Posted November 12, 2004 meant to say im not going to mess with x at this time Share this post Link to post
paultazzyman 0 Posted November 13, 2004 Not quite sure what you mean by "yum is missing that file" - the purpose is for yum to go and get that file. Can you post the yum output ? and the command line !! Share this post Link to post
SoulNothing 0 Posted November 13, 2004 all right thanks for the help i used up2date it finally worked and got it fixed through that it seems through the upgrade i got some broken packages thanks again Share this post Link to post
fletchjp 0 Posted November 13, 2004 Re the broken packages - there have been a lot of updates lately for both FC 2 and FC 3. Have you tried yum list updates to see what it thinks is out of date? Then either do yum update to load what it wants to do to update your system, or selectively update individual items. I have found that not all the mirror sites have all the files, so adjusting the yum.conf to a good mirror near you is a good idea. Best wishes John Share this post Link to post
