Hi Sirs or Madams:
I have recently ordered 4 CD's FreeBSD2 and installed FBSD2.2.5 on
my machine. Everything seems O.K. I am a novice on Unix, so I haven't
done much on FreeBSD yet. I can set up my own account so that I don't
have to risk the new system by loging as root. I can play around with
fvwm95 and a lot more. However I have a few questions:
1. I am interested in programming. So I tried C and Modula-3.
* For C, I tried a simple program hello.c an compiled it by:
cc -a hello.c
I got a.out. However when I ran a.out, I got
a.out : not found
* The same thing with Modula-3. After using the command
m3build ( on the simple hello.m3 program)
The compilation had no problem and FreeBSD2 directory was built.
When I got into FreeBSD2 directory, "hello" was there. However,
when I ran
hello
I got the same message " hello : not found "
I also have Linux Slackware 3.2 on another machine. I have no
problems on running C and Modula-3 on Linux. Therefore, I don't know
what is wrong on my new FreeBSD2 system, or there might be further steps
I need to do to run C and Modula-3 programs.
2. I can run fvwm95, however there are many thing I cannot use yet:
* xcdplayer: I get "device not configured" message
* workman: cannot recognize the music disk even I put the cd
into the drive before start up the machine (Linux
has no such problem and it can even play the music cd after
the system is up)
* "find" does not work at all ( when I hightlight it with the
mouse, nothing pops up at the arrow)
* for some games "xlander", "xtetris", "xhextrix" I get the
message :" not found "
Those are problems I am having now. Would you please tell me how to fix
them!
I am looking forward to your response. Thank you.
Chau.
