CentOS - Oct 2005 - Boot hanging and app for ham radio

Jim,

	Thanks for the suggestions.  I think you hit the nail on the head with
the nvidia card.  X runs great with no obvious problems.  I only need to
get one more app runing and it is for ham radio.  I am trying to compile
a app called soundmodem.  It interfaces the computer with a ham radio
for packet operations.  When I compile it I get errors telling me xml is
not available.  In my search for xml I have found that xml is replaced
with xml2.  I tried changing the source calls for xml with xml12 but it
failed with modules not being present, and none of the names that it was
looking for were not system modules.  But I will get it going somehow.
The app will be used by Emergency Services in the county where I live.
	Thanks for your help on the X problem.

Dick

No problem. Couple things about xml, make sure you have the devel
packages installed for libxml2 (libxml2-devel), but also in dag's
repo, there are libxml++-devel and libxml++ which may work for you.
Some things aren't specific about what they need, so you may need to
watch build errors and output carefully, and combine that with lots of
'yum provides foo' to fix.  Changing source calls for xml to xml2 will
probably break, because there are a fair amount of differences.
