1. Offtopic; Linux; please help me
I have 2 Linux configuration questions:
1) I am trying to get Caldera's OpenLinux to allow me
to compile a FTP client program I d/l'd, SEUL's WXFTP
0.4.4. When running "make depend," it says that it is
missing a /asm/socket.h. I was able to look through
different libs on my Caldera CD and find the right
libs, but I can't find the one that will make a /asm
directory. The /asm directory is actually a misnomer,
it would be a directory called "asm" wherever the
shared libraries (source form) like glib and glibc
would be put.
2) How would I get my dot-matrix Panasonic KX-P2123
printer set up? I can get it set up to print as a raw
device, but then it looks like doing this in DOS:
C:> TYPE FILENAME.TXT > LPT1
Which isn't bad, I'd just like it print nicer, more
like (dare I say) Windows.
Thanks to all who help,
Mike Hurley

Sounds like the linux kernel source. Try downloading it, and installing it
in /usr/scr/linux.
Also, look for a configure script with the source. Many programs include
something like this which will automatically setup the makefile.

You almost certainly have a copy of socket.h somewhere, it's one
of the standard header files used in lots of C programs.
I found a copy in /usr/include/sys, as well as in the source directories
usr/src/linux-2.2.7.SuSe/include/linux.
Try typing locate socket.h to see if you have a copy.
If locate returns nothing, try updating your database of
programs: as root, run updatedb, then try locate again.
./configure will sometimes find the locations of these various files
automatically. If it doesn't, you can create a directory and copy the
needed files there. usr/include/asm should work.
