Most likely the drivers only require the Linux kernel headers. Find out your kernel version with: [code]uname -r[/code] Then grab the kernel headers with something like: [code]apt-get install kernel-headers-[B][I]version[/I][/B][/code] Then try to recompile again. If that doesn't work, you might want to try downloading the full kernel source (which would …

[code=cplusplus]if (LabGrade = 'A' && 'a')[/code] While this is a valid C++ statement, it has several problems: - [icode]=[/icode] is an assignment operator.

[QUOTE=Selwyn;536714]sorry mate i thought it said at the top they were running xp pro[/QUOTE] True, it shouldn't have been posted in the Mac forums. However, I'm actually moving this to the hardware forums as this pertains more to hard drives than actual operating system usage.

Your compiler will throw an error if you try to put a decimal number into an array subscript. Most likely [icode]grades[][/icode] is defined as an array of integers. The integer 87 divided by the integer 10 would be 8, as ints cannot hold decimal values (in other words, any fractions …

I'm going to go ahead and move this thread to the Window Tips 'n' Tweaks forum, as it seems to fit better there. If you think there's a better location, let me know -- I can move it again.

Take a look at the [search]libcurl[/search] library.

You'll probably want to do a test such as opening a connection to a website like Google, over port 80. If the connection is successful, you're clearly connected to the Internet.

You'll need to provide a bit more information about your problem if you wish to get help. For example, what kind of soundcard is it? Have you attempted to install drivers for it? What is the output of running [icode]lspci[/icode] at a command shell?

Moved to Network Security.

Take a look at [search]insmod[/search]

Whoops, my bad. I split this thread off of another one, then had to set a name for this thread. Rereading the question, all the poster said was "limited connectivity", not "limited or no connectivity", so I must have misread. The OP isn't necessarily getting that error message, sorry about …

A kernel is the main program or component of an operating system, it's the thing that does all the work, without it you have no operating system. Linux is actually nothing more than a kernel; the programs that make up the rest of the operating system are generally GNU software, …

When I put the code into my compiler, I received the same errors you described. Funnily enough, when I removed the *s, those errors disappeared.

You'll want to install something called Samba on your Linux computer -- this allows transmissions over the SMB protocol, Windows' native file sharing protocol. How complicated this will be for you depends on which way you're trying to go: sharing files from the Linux box will be more work as …

The best commercial solution for databases on the Mac platform is [URL="http://www.filemaker.com/"]FileMaker Pro[/URL].

What's the output of [icode]lspci[/icode]?

What you were essentially trying to do was mount the entire hard disk device onto your filesystem ([icode]/dev/sde[/icode]). What you actually want to mount is the partition that contains your data -- this is most likely [icode]/dev/sde1[/icode], as pointed out by techniner.

I don't quite understand what you mean. The full and express editions of Visual Studio permit commercial usage. You won't get "caught in the tangled copyright web" unless you're using a compiler with some special education license, and even then there's usually a way to upgrade it to a full …

When you pass arrays, you pass the pointer, not the entire array. And you can't declare variables inside a function. Thus, your function call would look like: [code=c]sort_date(Acc, n);[/code]

In the installation options, make sure you choose "Erase and Install". If you're really paranoid, start up Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. You can then completely erase your hard disk (i.e. writing 0s all over the disk).

The syntax for creating an array that's a member of a class is: [code=cplusplus] class MyClass { public: ... private: int array[4]; };[/code] Note that you don't necessarily have to declare it as a private member.
