Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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.
