If you install linux on a Macbook Pro then the wireless adapter is not automatically working. You need to install the firmware before you can use wireless: sudo zypper install b43-fwcutter sudo /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware

debug IDL program that uses a shared library call

If you need to debug a IDL program that uses a shared library c-program then use qt creator! This program works perfect for this job. Just call the program and then choose: Debug -> Start debugging -> Start and Debug external Application Then choose the idl executable and the directory where to run IDL. An xterm will be opened with the IDL command prompt. Run your IDL program there. Open the c-program by file -> open file with... and set your breakpoints as you wish. The program is ready to be debugged! Very easy!!

debug shared library in IDL with DDD

How to debug a c program that was compiled as shared library and that is called by IDL via call_external in GNU DDD debugger? a) compile the shared library without optimization and with debugging information: Example: gcc -fPIC -O0 -ggdb3 -c fw_bw_loop_quick_xp.c && gcc -shared -o fw_bw_loop_quick_xp.so fw_bw_loop_quick_xp.o -lm b) call IDL inside DDD in the path where your data is like: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/rsi/idl/lib:/usr/local/rsi/idl/bin/bin.linux.x86_64 ddd /usr/local/rsi/idl/bin/bin.linux.x86_64/idl c) inside DDD type "run" This will start IDL inside DDD. Now you can restore your software and execute whatever you want. If it enteres the c-program, type CTRL-C or set somehow a breakpoint d) continue normal debugging. Open the source of your c-program by "open->source". Thanks a lot to my friend Fernando Silveira for this tip!!!!!!
