Anyone here know Linux? Or any *nix?
I have a gcc problem that is driving me nuts.
Lately, everything I have tried to make has errored out with "undefined reference to '__ctype_$one-of-several-things-here'"
Help me help me help me

Any idea which one? Someone told me that I was missing the g++ headers, but find finds them.

If there are specific programs that raise this error try to reinstall them.
I'd say 90% of what I try to make fails.

If it occurs no matter what the program, and you run from a desktop shell, try reisntalling that, and if it is occurs even outwith the desktop, try reinstalling the core.
I usually run FVWM2 and do most of my work in xterm. But I have the same problem if I kill xwindows. I just tried it.
The problem started a few days ago and since I have upgraded to Slackware 8.1. It didn't help. After reinstalling gcc a couple of times to no avail, I rm'd everything associated with it and reinstalled. Same problem. I'm not sure what to do.
Reinstall the core? You mean the linux kernal? Or gcc?
Thanks

The original command line is simply: make.
gcc -02 -o hydra a-list-of-files-all-ending-in-.o
hydra-mod.o: In Function 'make_to_lower':
hydra-mod.o(.text=0x60d0: undefined reference to '__ctype_tolower'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [hydra] Error 1

I'm moving rapidly in exactly the opposite direction.
Windows is much too fluffie, and does way too much baby-sitting.
Long live xterm!
Besides, I don't think I've had any OS last more than six months without my severely screwing it up.

When you dress up Linux so that it is easy to use - guess what? It looks like Windows and costs the same but is still always 50 technologies behind whether it's OLE or COM or web or development tools etc.
See, that's just it, TB. I don't dress up Linux. I LIKE command line. I have Gnome, KDE and some other interfaces installed but never use them. I have fluffie word processors but never use them, opting for vi. To me, FVWM2 is almost a perfect interface. I have xterm for most everything and support from graphical stuff like web browsers if I need it.

Apple OS from 7.1 all the way to OS X, which is running next me now. I am using Win98 right now. All other versions of Windows drive me nuts. Well, NT doesn't drive me nuts but I prefer 98. I used to run BSD on an old Mac. And SusePPC on another. Slackware is my all time favorite OS right now.

Kinda why I like Win98. Everything does seem to work. My girlfriend has XP-- XP Pro no less. I can't so much as sit down in front of it without screaming.

For programming I of course spend most of the time writing normal code but I prefer being able to drag and drop DB connectivity and buttons and being able to click on the button to take me to the subroutine.
What little code I write, I normally do on the Mac or on Windows but I feel a change coming on.

I really feel some (maybe not you) Linux people like Linux for the sake of it and few objective reasons.
hmmm... probably true. Linux has been going through an 'its reallllllly cool phase'

Since that time Linux has come on strong, and the demand for Windows ports has waned. The three primary supported platforms now are Unix on Sun and HP, and Linux running on any PC.
Were you able to resolve your linking problems?

I got it Percy. Thanks.
