Dear all, I am using R CMD SHLIB to compile a c++ code into a library (.so) and dyn.load to load this library into a R code. I am facing some problems in the c++ code that I can not figure out how to solve. Do you recomend any good way to debug this R + C++ program? If I was programming only in C++ I would use GDB. I would much appreciate any help or suggestion! Best regards, Charles -- Um

Howdy, I have a diff file in my /var/tmp and would like to apply patch to a file in a different directory (other than /va/tmp). I tried using patch with -d switch, but that doesn't work.

Hi, Since I''ve installed ruby and ruby-gems from source, then installed facter and puppet as gems, I don''t get the usual startup scripts shipped with RPMs. Rebuilding the ruby RPM is painful, mostly because Red Hat (and pretty much every vendor) have this tendency to include random files and patch the living daylights out of a perfectly good source package so that converting

Howdy, The yum install <package> hangs in between. This happened few days as well, but just after doing Ctrl+C it reported error with mirror and switched to another one. Today, however, it is not responding to Ctrl+C and kill or kill -9 command is also not working. Any clues? Thanks, CS.

We have about 50 CentOS servers with software RAID level 1 (mirroring). Each week, we swap out one of the drives (the one in the second of four hot-swap bays, only the first two of which contain drives) on each server and take them offsite for safekeeping. The problem is, the kernel seemingly randomly switches between /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc for these devices. This makes the process slower by
