fte over ssh

Hi, being the sort of chap I am, I want to run a editor aware of programming syntax (particularly for perl) over ssh.

I tried fte, which also installs x, but does install the console based editor as well. However when I try to start it, I get:
$DISPLAY not set?

Can I run fte on terminal?

If so what do I set display too and how?


Kind regards

Re: fte over ssh

Try running the 'sfte' command.

Re: fte over ssh

Thanks.

I just tried that, but got:
sfte: error while loading shared libraries: libslang.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

And Am not sure where to look for the missing file. Can't find it on the system.


Kind regards

Re: fte over ssh

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libslang.so.1   
/usr/lib/libslang.so.1 is owned by slang 1.4.9-1

Do you have slang installed?

Re: fte over ssh

slang was installed with fte, and is up to date, but the only file I can find with the mask libsla* in /usr/lib/

Is: libslang.a

A pacman -Qo of that file reports:

/usr/lib/libslang.a is owned by slang 1.4.9-1

Can I get pacman to tell me all the files owned by slang?


Kind regards

Re: fte over ssh

That's strange...
You can see what it installs with pacman -Ql

$ pacman -Ql slang
slang /usr/
slang /usr/lib/
slang /usr/lib/libslang.a
slang /usr/lib/libslang.so.1.4.9
slang /usr/lib/libslang.so.1
slang /usr/lib/libslang.so
slang /usr/include/
slang /usr/include/slang.h
slang /usr/include/slcurses.h

Re: fte over ssh

When I run it I get:

pacman -Ql slang
slang /usr/
slang /usr/include/
slang /usr/include/slang.h
slang /usr/include/slcurses.h
slang /usr/lib/
slang /usr/lib/libslang.a


Which is allot less than yours...

Any thoughts? Perhaps there has been a new rev of the package whch breaks something?


Kind regards

Re: fte over ssh

Yes, it is all up to date, and slang version seems to be:
slang-1.4.9-1

Re: fte over ssh

I was able to reproduce the error.  It seems as if fte was linked against an older version of slang (although I didn't verify the dates to be certain).  Rather, I took the quick fix and rebuilt fte against the current version of slang and all seems well.  Upgrade to the newest version of fte (20020324-3) and the problem should be fixed.

Cheers,

Re: fte over ssh

Won't that break the ability to package update?

Re: fte over ssh

Benedict_White: just do a pacman -Syu and it should be updated. wink

I just wonder why it worked with me with the same slang package...

Edit: Oh, it's not there yet... nevermind then...

Re: fte over ssh

Actually when I got home and logged on I found that some one had updated fte, so I upgraded that and it works!

Shows the power of the Arch model.

The only problem I have now is changing the colours it operates in as I can see which menu's are high lighted and key words are not in a different colour.


Kind regards
