Why learn Dutch??!! If you ask me, you can get anything done here in the Netherlands speaking English. Personally I think it would be better if we just all learned only English and forget about Dutch...

It's the truth!
However to get it right I needed to send SGI an email: mailto:[email protected] following was the mail I wrote:

Hi,

I read on several newsgroups that if I want to be able to download the latest maintenance releases of IRIX for development purposes that I should create a developer online account and then a surfzone account.
I failed to do this in this order. I had a surfzone account before a dev online account. Now the newsgroups tell me that you guys should be able to reset this so I would be able to download these newer overlays.

The account name I used on both services is "xxxxx" (without quotes)

Thanks for your help.


And it really worked for me, took about 2 weeks before I got a mail back however. Running IRIX 6.5.22m on my Origin 200 now :D

Happy Newyear to all

Snow doesn't seem to last here for now... roads and ground are too warm (snow melts immediately)... maybe tonight we get nice white roads :)

Personal I would go some Adobe route :) (well on Mac OS that is :) )

Adobe StreamLine (OS 9 could be helpful)
Or the combination of Adobe PhotoShop && Illustrator.
In photoshop you can Image->Adjustments->Posterize...
And make a less collored version of your image, then select a color with the magic wand (make sure "contiguous" is off)
then "Make workpath from selection" (button in Path's tab)
File->Export->Paths to Illustrator...
Open the exported file in Illustrator and enjoy :)

Whiter, I totally agree with you. The interface of SoftImage is VERY good, I was shocked to read the post by assyrix ;)
XSI's GUI is not that good, but I think the software has some very neat options... unfortunately it runs pretty bad on IRIX and looks totally wrong :) No wonder why they dropped it for IRIX.

I recently tried to build Berkely DB using MIPSpro for Subversion, everything goes fine until I run the subversion admin tools and it complains that Berkely DB isn't working correctly... I eventually gave up on it and downloaded the freeware version ;)

Wrote on the subject of PHP 5.0.0 && gettext not working at Aug. 13, 2004, 9:13 a.m...
I've been working on a new setup on my server and after some problems I thought I had it working (finally!)... however gettext doesn't seem to work in my PHP setup.

I compiled all stuff myself, new Apache 2.0.50 server, PHP 5.0.0 and gettext 0.14.1 when running the configure script for PHP everything goes fine. It even compiles without problems. But when I run a simple test script:
Code:
<?php
gettext ("TEST")
?>

I get a fatal error messages telling me: "Call to undefined function gettext()" :(

The problem is I have no idea what is going wrong. I'm positive that the "ext/gettext" gets compiled. Also that these functions are included checked the #ifdef, even removed quite a few of them so the code would allways compile but it just doesn't work :(

Anyone with tips on what I might be doing wrong, they are very much appreciated.

Well... looks like that php configure havent detected your gettext installation and have build php without gettext support. Which php extension currently available in your build a phpinfo() can show you.

Well I did everything to make sure they were compiled, tried shared stuff all of it...

all my gettext related function starts with 'libintl_*' which is completly wrong :| So please use get_extension_funcs('gettext') to see which functions are exists and drop a note for me.


My list:
Code:
25 sander@origin ~% /opt/apache2/php/bin/php
<?php
print_r (get_extension_funcs('gettext'));
?>^D
Array
(
[0] => libintl_textdomain
[1] => libintl_gettext
[2] => _
[3] => libintl_dgettext
[4] => libintl_dcgettext
[5] => libintl_bindtextdomain
[6] => libintl_ngettext
[7] => libintl_dngettext
[8] => libintl_dcngettext
[9] => libintl_bind_textdomain_codeset
)
26 sander@origin ~%


So they seem to be prefixed with libintl_ here to! That explains all. Well I write something around this now I know how to call the functions. Thanks very much for your help, and if you find something to strip the libintl_ for good... let me know!

Again thanx!

Well my work depended on it and I work for myself so I regular work through the weekends :)

Though I've got no time atm to make nice tardist of everything :)


BTW, is anyone familiar with "sprocsp" errors with PHP when you are using libraries compiled with MIPSPro's "-apo" flag? I've had quite a few of them and I have no idea how to resolve them aside from just removing the -apo flag during build of the library... (it happend to MySQL if I remember correctly and to the latest GD (graphics library).

AGP cards despite having PCI-X slots


PCI-X != PCI-Express (PCI-E)

PCI-X is a 64-bit 66/100/133-MHz PCI bus used for highend SCSI controllers, Gigabit, uncompressed HD video etc.
