Okay, I was trying to install an Oracle database on my Linux computer, when it complains taht it doesn't have enough swap space. I'm using an RPM, and if there's a way to override, I don't know how. Anyway, I modified my swap partition to have more room(I realized that was probably very dumb after I did it), and now it doesn't recognize that I have any swap space. By "modified" my partition, I mean I deleted it and created a new partition, then labeled it as swap(I checked 3 times, it IS labeled as swap). Any idea what I did, or how to fix it?

I think you'll have to recreate the swap partition.

Read "Applying a Filesystem to a Partition" section from the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook.

Assuming you're using an IDE drive and have /dev/hda2 as the swap partition:

Code: Show/Hide

mkswap /dev/hda2
swapon /dev/hda2

Messing with partition sizes is pretty dangerous for the files stored on those partitions.

Lol, that's actually where I first learned how to partition for Linux, I guess I just forgot that step. >_< Thanks.

Well, um... any idea what to get my sister and my mom for Christmas? Freaking 3 days and I got nothing.

My girlfriend wanted a new iPod, and even after I actually paid for everything she wanted to buy this month I still bought one for her.
Oh well, I hope it'll make her feel less shitty for being my girl.

I have no idea what to get them actually, maybe an orange juicer.

What did you end up getting, Animate?
And is this still the same chick, Solo?

Alexa? I hope so. Kickass orange juicer, though. Anyway, I got my sister some coffee and some... okay, I don't know what they were, but they were edible. I got my mom a puzzle(with wolves on it), and some oreos. She loves oreos.

Yup, still the same girl, even after some very bad times we've had.

Eh, I wrote "...make her less..." instead of "...make her feel less..." in my last post, oops.

Well, I guess I can understand why people love Oreos. When Alexa got me to try them I didn't like them, but after a month I had to keep myself from getting addicted.

Anyway, giving your sister coffee? I'd give mine castor beans instead.

Solo, change your post back to the way it was, it sounded so much more badass.

No point in doing that.

Funny how the topic of this thread completely changed into this, but...
She really loves the iPod, heh, I just didn't like the fact she made me run to bring an iTunes setup CD.

Bleh, but it's not going the way it should go for her at school, and if she fails this year her dad will send her back to the USA...
That'd kill me, really. But I'll just have to wait and see what happens and make sure I don't distract her a lot.

Well. How sweet.

Anyway, want to tell me where include files are stored for the gcc compiler?
I'm trying to compile a program, and I need to include <sqlda.h>, but I don't know where to PUT that header. I have a copy, just not in the right place. I figured I could probably just find | grep stdio.h and put it in the same folder, but that won't make me understand it. Maybe I just need to learn more about the gcc compiler itself. I tried googling this already, but I had no idea what to google... "where to put includes" didn't return anything, but it made me feel like a dumbass.

/usr/include ?

I think gcc reads it's include directories from the environment variable $INCLUDE.

So... "echo $INCLUDE"
