- Hi, 'tis me again.
-
- I was wondering if someone can help me. I got poeigl??.tar from
- tsx-11.mit.edu and untar'd it to my linux partition and after that,
- did a 'make' command.
-
- It compiled for some time, but ended up sending me an error message of
- the following kind:-
-
- /#> make
- cc -static -s -o login login.o vhangup.o getpass.o
- ld: No such file or directory for libgcc.a
- make: *** [login] Error 1
-
- Can someone please enlighten me on what kind of problem I've
- encountered? Did I miss a package? I've remembered installing
- ALL of c1..c4 when I first installed Linux on my partition?
- What is 'libgcc.a' anyway?
-
- While I'm at it, I hope someone can also help me with a non-root
- user problem. Like the situation is that I've been re-installing
- a2-a4 for more than 10 times because of me screwing around with
- the inittab file as well as the 'getty' and 'uugetty' commands,
- which I still haven't figured out yet.
-
- The problem is that now, when I relogin as a non-root user,
- say 'wonge' and enter my usual password, I get the following
- stuff:-
-
- Welcome to Linux SLS ....
- .
- .
- Last login: Sat Dec 26 04:39:17 on tty2
- Your password will expire in 0 days.
- No mail.
- shell-init: Permission denied.
- pwd: Permission denied
- : Permission denied
- #
-
- When I, as the non-root user, do a 'w' command, the following
- things appear:-
-
- : Permission denied
- /dev/kmem: Permission denied
- : Permission denied
- pwd: Permission denied
- : Permission denied
- #
-
- Then it throws me back at the prompt. I know, for one fact that,
- as the root user, I screwed around with too much stuff, and like,
- all hell has broken loose. Can someone enlighten me to what I did
- wrong?
-
- Ughh.. like no offense to anyone, but like it's getting a TAD
- bit frustrating when nothing seems to be working right as well as things
- that USED to be working, don't work, and meanwhile, things that I'm
- trying to get working, DON'T work at all in the first place (namely
- the remote login's and stuff related to that.... I've had some information
- given by all you kind Linux experts, but I'm now, TOTALLY confused in what
- I'm supposed to do. HELP!!!!!!_)
-
- BTW, any help appreciated, and at this moment, DEFINITELY needed!
-
- Thanks
