Which course is more difficulty in terms of which subject contains more rigorous proofs, Complex variables or Real analysis. I don't know whether I should dropped Complex variables, but the only reason I am taken it is because of the useful physics applications found in this course. I my school, the only prereq for CV is calculus 3 , and the prereq for Real analysis is a transitional proof class and abstract algebra. I think complex variables is an interesting class and the content of the class is not as rigorous as say Real analysis to me, but my prof(not my advisors ) thinks I should dropped it. I can't dropped a 3 hour class because I am taken only 12 hours of classes right now, and therefore would become a part time student if i dropped it.
So your professor thinks Complex Variables will be too hard for you? If so did the professor say why? The usual undergraduate course in Complex Variables has very little rigor. This doesn't mean it can't be hard. In complex analysis there are different techniques to learn than in Real Analysis. There are different ideas.
Depends on the course. But usually are at the same level of rigor than Calculus, the usual book is the one by Churchill and Brown which is definitely only a small step ahead of the usual calculus rigor. Real analysis on the other side should be a rigorous course, if you use the text by Rudin then expect a really heavy but quite rewarding course, I remember using it at third semester and it was hard but quite worthy. As far as applications go, well Real analysis leaves you in the doorstep of topology but unless you aspire to do some theoretical things it might not be a really obvious it has applications (series and convergence are used in all physics but not really in a quite rigorous way, which is fine to me). Complex variables is almost inmediately useful, you can use it in 2D potential problems for example, conformal method mappings are omnipresent and integration in the complex plane is something you MUST acquire at some moment.
Did you really need to take Real analysis and other rigorous math courses in order to take Complex variables. I don't think Complex variables has been hard so far. A prof will not always know whats best for the student.
Do you think a person who has only had a transitional proof math course, Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra and Partial differential equations course can handle Complex variables? The complex variables class at my school doesn't require me to take an intro to proof course , but it is a grad level course but a lot of undergrads have taken this course.
The content of courses called "complex variables" varies enormously from school to school. It's going to be difficult for someone on the outside to tell you that the professor is wrong and that you're completely qualified. My experience has been that if the course instructor says you're underprepared, (s)he's usually right.
The professor has not really assessed my ability. He only look at my math background and told me i was underprepared. In the past, I had professors tell me I wasn't prepared for Calculus and ended up doing fairly decent in my calculus courses. Dropping Complex variables isn't an option for me because I will no longer be considered a full time student if I dropped this course.
Complex Variables was the first upper division class I took. I took it from the hardest professor that teaches that class. I took Real Analysis at the same time, the courses were very different. I had to work very hard in this course but I did good (A-) I took the Graduate course in Complex Variables at the end of my second year. Now in many gradute courses they may assume knowledge of analysis and other topics. Graduate Complex Variables will usually be rigorous. However if yours isn't then it might actually be like an undergraduate course and then you could handle it. Can you post the course description? If this was an undergraduate course then I would say take it. But since a graduate course can be significantly harder. How many weeks into the class are you? The course may seem easier at the beginning because it may be review for the graduate students. Is there another course which you could enroll in to drop this one and still be a full time student? When I took the Graduate Complex Variables, I was one of two second year undergraduate students taking it. I did good (A-) but the other guy ended up dropping all three of his classes because he was not prepared to take the finals for any his classes. The complex variables course ate up about 90% of my time that quarter and has been the hardest course I have ever taken. You have to be careful.
You say that you are not able to drop it; you have no option, so what's the question here? As others have mentioned we have no idea what your complex variables class actually entails, but even if we did, we can't reassure your problems away! If the material is harder than you're used to, well, that's good experience! Talk to the professor and study until you understand it. If your other classes have to suffer a bit, then this is simply the position you're in. I've never heard of someone failing a class that I know they actually worked at. Good luck!
Real analysis is MUCH harder. This is mainly because complex variables, as the name suggests, can be taught by using a strictly applied apporach. Real analysis can't (atleast I've never heard of an applied approach to r.analysis, isnt that calculus?). The only pre-reqs for complex variables would be calc 3, linear algebra, and differential equations. Its definately not something you should be afraid of. Complex analysis, on the other hand, is another beast. I'm assuming complex variables is an applied approach, like something out of Fisher. A course a typical engineer would even be able to handle. In terms of rigour, complex analysis can be up there with real but again I doubt this is the honors class we're talking about. Sometimes, complex variables courses will teach you vector calculus as well in some schools. But if you have the 3 pre-reqs I listed, you should have no problems. I am interested in knowing why your advisor told you not to take it. Edit: Ah, your talking grad complex. Well... this is a different ball game. So it would be on par with honors complex and be taught out of something lke Ahlorfs. I would say some experience with real analysis is essential. You also have to be good with proofs. If you haven't seen many proofs in your calculus and algebra courses I would steer clear. You mentioned you took Abstract Algebra. That may be a good sign if it was from a more rigorous book then Gallain. PDE is another good sign, but again I doubt it was that rigorous. If you are looking soley for applications to physics, get something like Dovers Complex Variables by Fisher and read it on your own time. In my opinion, you are not ready for graduate level complex analysis. But if you know the book you are using it would help us determine the appropriate level.
in a sense real and complex analysis are polar opposites, because complex is about the worlds nicest functions: namely analytic functions given locally by power series, and reals is about the worlds worst functions: i.e measurable functions, often only determined up to changing their values on a set of measure zero, so even their values are not well defined at any specific point. to me this makes complex infinitely easier and more enjoyable.
As a math professor, which math classes do you think a typical student should have had before they take complex variables? the prereq at my school says I should have calc 3 but do you think I should know more math beyond the prereq liked topology , abstract algebra or Real analysis. I think complex variables is interesting and the material isn't too difficult. There no way I can dropped this class because I would be considered a part time student. Here is a course description of the class: Introduction To Complex Variables 3(3-0-0) F,S,Sum Prereq: MA 242 Operations with complex numbers, derivatives, analytic functions, integrals, definitions and properties of elementary functions, multivalued functions, power series, residue theory and applications, conformal mapping.
there are very few prerequisites for complex, although elementary topology is useful. when i taught it in the past i included all the topology needed. elementary metric space topology is useful but can be taught in the course as in the book of ahlfors. indeed complex is often the course where people first see such concepts. ill see if i can find my old notes. you do need to know a little about integrals and it helps if you have seen a powers series but again this can be taught in the course itself. look at the book (vol one) of hille for a pretty complete explanation of evrything.
here is a brief survey of complex variables: MAT 814: Introduction to Complex Analysis First Day: What is complex analysis , and why is it interesting? Complex analysis is the study of the (differentiable) solutions of a single very important differential equation, the Cauchy-Riemann differential equation: ∂f/∂zbar = 0, where ∂f/∂zbar = (1/2)[∂f/∂x - i∂f/∂y]. We can explain this a bit more as follows: Recall that two functions f,g:U-->R2 are called tangent at the point p of the open set U in R2 if: 1) f(p) = g(p), and 2) (z -->p) implies ( |f(z)-g(z)|/|z-p| --> 0 ). (It means their graphs are tangent at [p,f(p)] - think about it.) A function L:R2-->R2 is called R-linear if L(z+w)=L(z)+L(w) for all z,w in R2, and if L(tz)=tL(z) for all t in R and all z in R2. Then a function f:U-->R2 is called (R-) differentiable at a point p in the open set U, if there is some R-linear function L such that f(z)-f(p) is tangent at p to the function L(z-p), (as a function of z). L is called the (Frechet) derivative of f at p. [See Rudin's Principles of Mathematical Analysis defn.9.11, p.212, or Spivak's Calculus on Manifolds, chap.2, pp.15-16 if you don't remember this definition of derivative.] Now since R2 has a natural structure of multiplication, making it into the complex numbers C, just by setting [1,0] = 1 and [0,1] = i, and putting i2 = -1, we may generalize the last definition as follows: a function f:U-->C is said to be complex differentiable, or holomorphic, at the point p of the open set U in C, if f(z) is tangent at p to L(z-p)+f(p) for some C-linear function L:C-->C. Of course L is C-linear if L(z+w)= L(z)+L(w) for all z,w in C, and if L(tz)=tL(z) for all t,z in C. The only difference here is that the scalar t in the second condition is allowed to be any complex number and is not restricted to be a real number as in the definition of R-differentiable, but what a difference it turns out to make! Complex analysis is the study of holomorphic functions. Exercise: If f:U-->R2 is a differentiable function at p, with (R-linear) derivative L, where z=x+iy, then ∂f/∂x and ∂f/∂y are both defined at p, and L is the linear function with matrix [ ∂f/∂x ∂f/∂y ], where both entries are regarded as column vectors. Moreover L is actually C-linear (i.e. f is holomorphic) if and only if ∂f/∂zbar = 0. Thus our two conditions for holomorphicity are equivalent. [At least they are equivalent for differentiable functions. It is conceivable however that a function f exists which has partial derivatives ∂f/∂x and ∂f/∂y which satisfy the equation ∂f/∂zbar = 0, but without f even being continuous, much less differentiable, and thus not holomorphic. Recall that a function can have partial derivatives without having a (total) derivative. There do exist functions having these properties at least at one point, but I don't know whether any f exists which has partials that satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann differential equation on a whole open set without f being continous on that set. The Looman-Menchoff theorem, p. 43, Narasimhan's Complex Analysis in One Variable, states that if a continuous function on an open set has partials everywhere on that open set which satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equation then the function is holomorphic.] Now why would anyone want to study holomorphic functions? [Life is too short to study them simply because they may occur on the Ph.D preliminary exams.] The study of complex numbers arose in the 19th century out of the study of real analysis and algebra, when it was found that the purely formal use of complex numbers actually facilitated the solution of some problems which appeared to concern only real numbers. There is a nice discussion of this in the book of Osgood. Once complex numbers were accepted as inevitable, which they must be if one ever wishes to solve simple algebraic equations like x2+1= 0, it becomes natural to ask about the calculus of complex numbers. From the point of view of differential equations holomorphic functions turn out also to be closely linked to real harmonic functions, and these had been discovered to be important in physics. That is, the function u(x,y) defining the temperature at a variable point inside a metal disc when that temperature is constant in time, can be shown from simple physical assumptions, to satisfy the Laplace equation ∆2u/∆x2 + ∆2u/∆y2=0. Now it is not hard to check that whenever f is holomorphic and has continuous partials of first and second order, then both the real and imaginary parts u,v of f=u+iv satisfy the Laplace equation, i.e. are harmonic. Moreover the relation between u and v is one which has physical significance. So our interest in physics, heat and electricity and magnetism, could lead us to study complex analysis. Complex analysis is also related to the science of map making! That is, the functions f:R2-->R2 which preserve angles locally (i.e. in very small regions), the so-called conformal mappings, are very closely akin to holomorphic functions, indeed they are almost the same thing. In mathematics, holomorphic functions help us understand questions concerning the radius of convergence of a power series. For example, the real differentiable function f(t)=1/(1+t2), has infinitely many derivatives at every point of the real line, but its Taylor series centered at the point t=0 only converges on an interval of radius 1. Why? It turns out that the radius of convergence is determined by the phenomenon of absolute convergence, and hence the series cannot converge at any real point whose absolute value is greater than the absolute value of a complex number for which it does not converge. In this example the series fails to converge at z=i, and hence cannot converge at any real number of absolute value greater than | i | = 1. I am told that such questions have applications, within numerical analysis, to giving limitations on the domain of validity of certain numerical approximations. As another example, one not only needs complex numbers to solve for the eigenvalues of matrices in finite dimensions, but one uses complex path integration to study the analogue of the set of eigenvalues, the spectrum, for complex operators in infinite dimensions, [see Lorch, Spectral Theory, chap.4]. Further, the practice of substituting linear transformations into polynomials as in the Cayley-Hamilton theorem, is mirrored by the study of holomorphic functions of complex linear operators in functional analysis. Complex analysis and the associated study of the topology of Riemann surfaces also sheds light on the historically interesting question of studying the "non-elementary" transcendental functions defined by integrating differentials like dt/(p(t))1/2, where p is a polynomial of degree at least three. This gives some idea of some problems that might push one to study complex analysis, and which indeed did so to the great mathematicians of the previous century, but with the benefit of hindsight we can now look back on their successes and find further motivation for us to study such functions, even after the original motivating problems which led to their investigation may have been settled. That is to say, today the hypothesis of holomorphicity is one which is known to have tremendous mathematical consequences, and thus to take advantage of them in solving our own problems, it is useful to us to be able to recognize holomorphic functions when we meet them, and to know what properties they are guaranteed to have.
part 2: intro to complex vbls: In many ways the property of holomorphicity is analogous to that of being a polynomial, but more subtle. For example one is always interested, in mathematics, in the problem of existence and uniqueness of solutions to equations. For polynomials the fundamental theorem of algebra tells us that if f(z) is a complex polynomial, and if z0 is a complex number such that f(z) = z0 has no solutions, then f is a constant. The analogous existence theorem is this: if f:C-->C is a holomorphic function (defined and holomorphic everywhere), and if there are two complex numbers z0, and z1, such that neither of the equations f(z)= z0, nor f(z)= z1 has a solution, then f is a constant. The corresponding uniqueness theorems are these: if f,g are complex polynomials with exactly the same zeroes (including multiplicities), then the quotient f/g is a constant; and if f,g:C-->C are holomorphic functions with exactly the same zeroes, then f/g=eh , for some holomorphic function h:C-->C. Since ez is never zero, even for complex z, this is the best we could hope for. There are other analogies with polynomials, as follows: if one is given a finite set {a1,...,an} of complex numbers, not necessarily distinct, then there exists a polynomial f(z) of degree n, whose set of zeroes is precisely this set, and such an f can be expressed as a (finite) product, one factor for each ai. Moreover, if f is a complex polynomial of degree n, and if f vanishes (i.e. has the value zero) at a set of n+1 distinct points, then f is the zero polynomial. Hence a polynomial of degree n is entirely known if its values are known on a given set of n+1 points. Moreover there is a formula, called Lagrange's interpolation formula, which expresses the value at any point in terms of a finite sum involving the values at the given n+1 points. [The generalization to holomorphic functions is perhaps not so obvious - can you guess it? For the second part you have to figure out what we would mean by a set of infinity plus one points!] In fact if {a1,...,an,......} is an infinite set of complex numbers, such that in any circle centered at the origin there are only a finite number of them, then there is a holomorphic function f:C-->C whose zeroes occur precisely at the given points (and with given multiplicities), and this holomorphic function can be expressed as an infinite product, with essentially one factor for each point. Moreover, if {a1,...,an,......} is a infinite sequence of distinct complex numbers which converges to a (finite) complex number a0, and if f:C-->C is an entire holomorphic function, (holomorphic functions defined on all of C are called entire), which vanishes on all the points ai in the sequence and hence also at a0, then f is identically zero. Consequently an entire holomorphic function is completely determined by its values on the points of a convergent sequence. So the notion of "infinity plus one" points turns out to mean an infinite sequence plus a limit point of that sequence. In particular, an entire holomorphic function is determined by its values on any circle, and indeed there is a formula, Cauchy's integral formula, which gives the values of the function at points inside the circle in terms of an integral over the values on the circumference of the circle! The uniqueness property just stated tells us in particular that a differentiable function f:R-->R has at most one extension to a holomorphic function F:C-->C, whereas f always has infinitely many different extensions to a (R-) differentiable function G:R2-->R2. For example, sin(t), et, and a0+a1t+a2t2+....+antn, each has a unique extension to a holomorphic function on C, but 1/(1+t2), has no extension to a holomorphic function on all of C, and f(t)=exp(-1/t2) for t≠0 and f(0)=0, has no extension which is holomorphic on any neighborhood of 0, even though f(t) is infinitely differentiable on R. Now the function 1/(1+t2) does of course have a holomorphic extension to any open set in C that does not contain either of the points i or -i, and the extension is given by the same formula, 1/(1+z2). On the other hand there exist functions f:R-->R which have holomorphic extensions to certain open subsets of C, but such that the extensions may take several different values at the same point of C! That is, given a point z0 in C, there may be one holomorphic extension of f to one open set U containing z0 which has one value at z0, and there may be a second holomorphic extension of f to a second open set V which also contains z0 such that the second extension has a different value at z0 from the first one! For example, the real function f(t)=ln(t), defined and differentiable for t in R can be extended to a holomorphic function on the complement of any ray emanating from the origin in the complex plane. But if f1 denotes the holomorphic extension to the complement of the negative imaginary (y-) axis, and if f2 denotes the holomorphic extension to the complement of the positive imaginary axis, then f1(-1)=iπ, while f2(-1)=-iπ. So in cases of functions which extend only into part but not all of C, the values of the extension at a specific point are not determined by the point but rather by the whole open set on which the extension exists. It is true that for each connected open subset of C which meets R, there is at most one holomorphic extension of f to that set. So the holomorphic extension of a function is often inevitably multiple valued, and the attempt to work out the proper domain on which a full single-valued holomorphic extension can be defined led Riemann to the beautiful theory now called "Riemann surfaces". He analyzed the geometry of the resulting domains and thereby constructed the origins of the subject of topology. This problem was also studied abstractly by Abel and Galois in connection with the problem of integrating algebraic functions. [An algebraic function is one g(z) such that there exists a polynomial F(z,w) in two variables for which F(z,g(z))=0, for all z. g(z)=z1/2 is such a function since it satisfies this condition for F(z,w)=z-w2.] Indeed, Galois wrote down some of his very advanced insights on this question in the second part of the same famous letter which is so much better known for its statement of the criterion for a polynomial equation to be solvable in terms of radicals. So much for motivation. Don't be dismayed if you don't follow all of this. Read it and think about it and refer back to it when the course has progressed further, and see how much more you will understand of it. Some of these results will not be proved until the second or third quarter. We will next take up a rapid review of the fundamental ideas of limits, continuity, completeness, compactness, and connectedness in the setting of arbitrary metric spaces. This will come in handy in this and every other course in which you need to construct solutions to problems by taking limits. Then we will go on to the geometry of the complex numbers and the Riemann sphere, elementary examples and properties of holomorphic functions, properties of power series, and then into the heart of complex analysis, the Cauchy theory of complex path integration. There is no logical necessity of waiting so long to go to the Cauchy theory, as you can see from the rapid introduction to it in the book of Knopp, but I think we will feel more comfortable with the calculus of complex functions if we get acquainted a bit with complex numbers and their topology first. Please let me know how the course is going for you, whether it is either too slow or too fast, too easy or too hard. I may not be able to solve all your problems but I can try if I know how things are going. And do lots of problems from Hille. To start with I want you to try all of them. We will see if this is feasible. In my opinion you will be very glad you did try them all when it comes time to be tested on the material. Having said all this, I want to admit that I myself, and many others, think that complex analysis is worth studying simply because the results are so beautiful!
Can someone with a mathematical background of only calculus, linear algebra differential equations, can handle a course like intro to complex variables?
Why did you have to quote that long post to ask this? Anyways, the answer is it depends on how the professor chooses to present the course and what he/she chooses to assume. The course description you posted seems like that of an undergraduate course. If, so far it doesn't seem to rigorous and that's the course description you will probably be fine. When I took complex variables (the undergrad one) I had only taken linear algrbra, diff eqs and the calculus classes, mine was rigorous though because of the professor I took it from.

The motivation for the cancellation is wrapped up in a ruckus that has erupted in magazines and newspapers nationwide, tweaking the bookseller's reputation and -- probably not coincidentally -- further buffing Moore's badge as a champion of the small guy.
The day Moore was supposed to be in Fort Lauderdale, he was instead in New York where he lives, penning a tirade against the bookstore chain. The screed was published in this past week's issue of the Nation magazine. In it, Moore, creator of the critically acclaimed documentary Roger & Me and the television series TV Nation, claims he was bounced from the bookstore's events schedule because of his outspoken support for efforts to unionize Borders employees around the United States. "The Fort Lauderdale Borders had received a memo from its corporate headquarters ... banning me from speaking or signing at any Borders store in the country," he writes. Prior to the publication of Moore's piece in the Nation, the escalating incident had been tracked in articles in the New York Times, the Detroit News, and other newspapers around the U.S.
The dispute began in Philadelphia in September, early in Moore's 47-city book tour. There, unbeknownst to him, he was scheduled to appear at a Borders that the International Workers of the World was attempting to unionize. Upon his arrival, he was met by a picket protesting the firing of an employee, Miriam Fried, who had led the unionizing drive from within. "The effort failed and a few weeks later, Miriam was given the boot," Moore writes.
Rather than cross the picket line, Moore, an inveterate union supporter, invited the protesters to join him inside the store. He shared the microphone with Fried and signed books. "Although Anne Kubek, Borders' corporate V.P. in charge of labor relations, had approved my bringing the protesters inside, upper management decided that she had made a mistake -- and they were going to take it out on me," Moore writes.
The retribution, he asserts, came several days later in Manhattan, where he was scheduled to appear at a Borders in the World Trade Center. Moore claims he was met at the store by two Borders executives, flanked by security guards, who forbade him from speaking but permitted him to sign books. "They said that the 'commotion' I had caused in Philly raised 'security concerns,'" he recalls in the Nation. The author announced to the assembled crowd that he was being censored because of his support for the workers in Philadelphia.
A spokeswoman for the bookselling behemoth says Moore's paranoia has gotten the better of him. Moore was restricted to book-signing as a crowd-control measure, explains Jody Kohn of Borders Group, Inc., which is based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The World Trade Center store had recently opened and was attracting enormous crowds during the middle of the day, especially when an author was scheduled to appear, she says. Because Moore had been drawing hundreds of people to his readings, police from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the World Trade Center, scrapped his speech.
"We told his publisher the night before that it would only be a signing," Kohn asserts. "He was told, unfortunately, about an hour or so before the signing. He took his own leap about why that was." Security guards are standard-issue at many U.S. stores for events involving prominent authors, she adds. As for the Borders executives, Kohn says they were from the bookseller's national events team and were in New York on other business.
Kohn expressly denies that the change of plans at the World Trade Center had anything to do with the rumpus in Philadelphia. (For that matter, she discounts Moore's claims that he received permission to bring the picket inside. "He decided that was the way he would handle the situation, and we didn't stop him," she clarifies. And she also denies that Philadelphia's Miriam Fried was fired because of her union activities.)
The rancor between Moore and Borders came to a head again two weeks later in Des Moines. After speaking to a large crowd in an auditorium, he began signing books out front. "Then someone slipped me an anonymous note," Moore recounts in the Nation. "It read: 'We are employees of the Des Moines Borders. We were told that we could not work the book table tonight, that only management was working the table, because they said they wanted to "protect us" from you.'"
The Food and Commercial Workers Union is organizing at the Des Moines outlet and has scheduled an election for December 10. Besides Des Moines and Philadelphia, where unionization was voted down, only two other stores have experienced organizing attempts, according to Kohn: one in the Lincoln Park area of Chicago, which voted for union representation, and another in Ann Arbor, where the union canceled the vote.

President George W. Bushs job performance rating has slipped to 52% positive, 48% negative, according to a poll of 1,011 likely U.S. voters by Zogby International. From a post-September 11th peak of 82%, his rating has slipped steadily with the exception of a slight increase following the official end of the war in Iraq. Bush Job Performance Event Positive % Negative % August 16-19, 2003 Current 52 48 July 16-17, 2003 Current 53 46 June 10, 2003 Post Iraqi War 58 41 March 16, 2003 Pre Iraqi War 54 45 September 25, 2002 One year Post 9/11 64 36 September 23, 2001 Post 9/11 82 17 August 27, 2001 Pre 9/11 50 49 April 26, 2001 100 Days in Office 52 44 January 16, 2001 Pre Inauguration 42 36 The down trend is also seen in the percent of likely voters who say its time for someone new in the White House (48%), compared to 45% who said the President deserves to be re-elected.

The Zogby America poll involved 1,011 likely voters selected randomly from throughout the 48 contiguous states using listed residential telephone numbers. Polling was conducted from Zogby Internationals Call Center in Utica, NY on August 16-19, 2003. The poll has a margin of sampling error of +/- 3.2%.

I recall asking friends who were graduating college what kind of job they wanted.
"Oh, I'll take anything. Anything at all."
"Well, would you scoop ice cream?"
"Hell no!"
In the abstract, people are open to "someone else" but when it comes to particulars, it's a different story.
Wait a minute, guys.
Did any of you read this?
The Zogby America poll involved 1,011 likely voters selected randomly from throughout the 48 contiguous states using listed residential telephone numbers.
Would any one of you like to have seen the questions on the poll? How the hell does "random selection" lead to an accurate result?
Damn push poll is what this is.
Be Seeing You,
THat said, I find it interesting that Bush's poll numbers for August dates are consistant. I see a possible seasonal effect here.
Reagan's numbers were not so good at the same point in his first term. Then came November 1984.
Next question.
GWB will get our support, will win the election, will continue the fight. I recommend we focus our additional energies on expanding the margin in the Senate.
But maybe you're right.
Possibly. However, I would suspect that statistical accuracy would have been increased had Zogby done the same poll several times. Now perhaps he did.
If this is accurate, we'll be in for a rough patch until the economy improves demonstrably. However, Zogby's record in 2002 was nothing to write home about.
Be Seeing You,
Also, the economy is improving, but not quite there yet.
And, undoubtedly, W has lost some of the conservative base. He can probably get it back by ignoring Rove, and vetoing the AW ban or something along those lines.
On the "Conservative" front, I'm still waiting for recess appointments of Presilla Owen and the other judicial nominees. What was the point of throwing Trent Lott out on his ass, when all we got was Bill Frist, twice the pussy that Lott ever was? If all we can expect from this White House is to bend over on the USSC Michigan decision and to bend over the Chuck Schumer's litmus tests in the Senate, that is a pretty dispiriting situation. It's hard to criticize Schwarzenegger's "moderate" politics when Bush isn't doing much better.
Have any of you EVER been polled? Just stop and think about something for a moment, if these polls are "selected randomly using listed residential telephone numbers", why have probably NONE of us ever been polled? Selected randomly? My @$$! I know quite a few RATs who have been polled, but I never have. Something stinks with Zogby polls.
Like I said...DNC talking points and media ho's.
What a shame the Dems can't run "no choice". No choice seems to get a plurality when given a list of the potential candidates. And, it's how the Dems seem to "win" in these surveys...when no candidate is named!
Unless it has been moved to Inida
You're right that he is not really a conservative; he's more of a moderate, who leans conservative on some issues. Not quite to the Olympia Snowe level, though.
I've been polled. You may not even know the focus of the poll, because the two I've participated in have had a wide range of stuff. from my purchasing preferences to political affiliation to most admired people, etc. It could be a 100 question poll that establishes a profile of you while being commissioned for a couple very specific reasons. You'd never know.
Zogby controls for that type of bias. I know folks around here like to bash him, but no other polls came close in 2000. People on this site bashed Zogby and ridiculed his predictions, and he was dead-on.
That was the race Zogby actually got right, at the very end showing Bush winning in a rout. His other results in 2002 were mixed at best, including predicting a solid win for Strickland over Allard in Colorado when it turned out quite the opposite. Oops, he said. The model needs to be updated. Duh.
He's gonna have to fall back on that one forever. He showed pro-Dem, and the DUI thing caused a pro-Dem shift. It takes more than one election to justify a reputation.
I thought he nailed the 96 election as well?
(I'm not sure why the hyperlink didn't work. Sorry.)
1)Tax Cuts (the future could bring a move towards a fair tax and a scrapping of the income tax!)
2)The outsourcing of government jobs
3)Refusal to bail out the states
4)Social Security Privatization
5)Energy Policy, including building more plants (read nuclear) and drilling in ANWaR.
6)John Aschcroft and his successful pursuit and arresting of terrorists
7)Scrapping of the stupid ABM treaty with Russia and moving towards building a missile defense system.
8)Instructing his justice department to re-affirm the second ammendment as a personal rather than a group right.
9)Solid support for Israel, to the point that he is hero over there and is even more highly thought of in Israel than he is in America.
10)His refusal to sign onto Kyoto or the ICC.
All of the above is wonderful and I consider it all gravy. I would vote for President Bush simply because of the way he has fought terrorism abroad since 9/11. His decision to uproot the Taliban and Saddam Hussein and his decision to put all terrorist on notice than they can be next. I know some people are upset about his cozy relationship with the Saudis and Pakistan but I am certain he has even put them on notice when it comes to terrorism. I truly support the man and believe that whomever the Democrats pick will be far worse than what we already have. Is he perfect? Of course not and we all have our own ideas about what the perfect candidate is but we need to support this guy and close ranks now. The Democrats are sharks and attack quicly at the smell of blood. I can't even fatham what a President Dean or a President Kerry would wreak on this nation. I don't wish to find out!

Measurement of the Intensity of Long-Lifetime Luminophores in the Presence of Background Signals Using Phase-Modulation Fluorometry
Applied Spectroscopy, Vol. 53, Issue 12, pp. 1490-1495 (1999)
Acrobat PDF (245 KB)
We describe a method to correct for background fluorescence and to measure the intensity of long-lifetime probes using phase-modulation fluorometry. The theoretically predicted and simulated data were supported by two experiments. The fractional contribution of background fluorescence in the sample was determined by measurement of phase angle and/or modulation at single modulation frequency. In certain experimental situations, where the mean decay times of the background and the long lifetime probe are widely separated, determination of background signals in the sample does not require a blank sample or information about the nature of intensity decay of the background. Hence, phase-modulation fluorometry can be used to directly determine the intensity of the long-lifetime probe in the presence of an unknown short-lifetime background. We also discuss the effects of ambient light (indefinitely long lifetime) and scattered excitation light (zero lifetime) on phase-modulation measurements.

Expedition Impossible Team Goes Primal
Posted By Mark Sisson On July 7, 2011 @ 9:30 am In Interviews | 87 Comments
Many of you may know that one of my favorite television shows is Survivor [7]. It turns out that Mark Burnett, the producer of Survivor, has a new show called Expedition Impossible [8]; an adventure series where contestants race through the deserts, rivers and mountains of Morocco. (Interest piqued.) It also turns out that one of the teams, the Gypsies [9], could just as well have been called team Grok [10]. That's right. John Post, Taylor Filasky and Eric Bach, contestants on the show, have all gone Primal.
Mark Burnett? Africa? Adventure race? Primal contestants? Ok, I'm hooked. Between attending to the media blitz that comes with starring on a new TV show and operating a recently purchased 27-acre farm (Sweet Peeps [11]) with his sister and their two best friends, John Post found time to answer a few questions about his experience going Primal and being on Expedition Impossible (airs Thursday, 9/8c on ABC). Find out more about John's team at The Modern Gypsies [12], and ask John any questions you have in the comment board.
John, tell us about Expedition Impossible.
When I first heard about Expedition Impossible, I was volunteering in Cambodia. I saw the title and knew this was something I wanted to be a part of! Expedition Impossible was a true test of the Primal lifestyle and definitely the most epic experience of my life. It's incredible to have the opportunity to see how my teams' lifestyle choices stack up against a truly diverse selection of Americans. Grok vs. all! There's no schedule, no hotel rooms, and we never knew what would be around the next corner! We trekked through the Sahara dessert, climbed snow capped mountains, and paddled some gnarly rivers. We were riding crazy camels and Arabian stallions and pulling stubborn donkeys through miles of river bed. They really did a good job of trying to throw teams out of their comfort zones! I remember the first day while I was leading these camels through the Sahara dessert with my two teammates thinking "wow, this is real!" There wasn't one moment that wasn't absolutely incredible.
You've said that the Primal lifestyle was a big part of your training. What did you mean by that?
Being Primal keeps you ready for anything. It was perfect training for a competition that is constantly varied and unknown. When Mark Burnett, producer of Expedition Impossible and Survivor, designed this show, he must have had the Primal Blueprint in mind. Combine long distances, bursts of intense activity and constant problem solving with a survival of the fittest style competition and you have Grok in his daily life!
How did you first come to find out about the Primal Blueprint?
My sister Stephanie has been a long time Primal eater and I have to give her credit for my first experience with the Primal Blueprint [13]. We were training for the Warrior Dash SoCal a little over a year ago. I've always been athletic but never paid much attention to my eating habits. I quickly started to notice that on days I ate Primally, my mind was clear and focused on my intent and my body felt more powerful during my training. On days when I didn't eat Primally, all I could think about while training were the bad things I put in my body. I didn't know much about the Primal Blueprint at the time but as I learned more I realized the things I envisioned weighing me down actually were. My body knew and could recognize the difference.
What was your diet and exercise routine like before going Primal and why did you make the change?
Before going Primal my diet and exercise routines varied widely. To be honest I wasn't educated about what was really good for me. I thought I was healthy and fit enough until I got my first taste of Primal. After that there was no going back.
How has the Primal lifestyle affected your health and fitness?
I often tell people I wish I could experience the change to the Primal Blueprint again. I just felt so much better. The increase in my energy level was amazing. My favorite part is being able to make conscious decisions about what I put in my body and understanding how it affects me.
What was it like trying to eat Primal foods and live like Grok while on the Expedition? I imagine getting adequate sun and low level aerobic activity wasn't a problem, but how about getting adequate sleep, managing stress, and avoiding stupid mistakes?
Living like Grok while on the expedition was pretty easy. We definitely got adequate sunlight and enough low level aerobic activity for Grok to migrate to Brazil! Eating while on the actual expedition was a little bit trickier. At first, we were the crazy guys with mustaches who wouldn't eat bread or candy. After our performance the first few days people stopped thinking we were crazy! That being said, food was really limited and for a lot of the competition there was a tough balance of eating what our bodies needed and what was available. I definitely hunted and gathered a few loafs of bread and possibly some beans while in Morocco.
Are your teammates Primal, too? If so, how long have they been Primal and what have their experiences been?
My whole team followed the Primal Blueprint leading up to the show. Eric and I have been Primal for about the same amount of time. Taylor made the change just 3 months before we were scheduled to leave for the expedition. He took training for the show really seriously and lost over 15 lbs after switching to the Primal Blueprint.
What would you say to anyone that was considering trying the Primal lifestyle?
This is how people are supposed to feel!
What was the craziest thing you did while on the Expedition?
Camels are pretty crazy! Throughout the show we dealt with all kinds of animals including a few different kinds of camels. Lets just say the ones you see in the first episode are nothing compared to what's to come! It gets pretty crazy.
Who won the competition? Actually, don't answer that. Your team had Grok power, so I think we all know who won.
Well, I can't reveal too much but I can say that coming in first place on the first stage felt pretty good. We've proved that we are capable of winning. We'll do our best to make you and the rest of our friends and family proud!

Alloa 2-0 Morton: Match Report
Alloa 2-0 Morton: Match Report - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game as it happened.
McManus breaks duck in Alloa win
Declan McManus scored his first senior goal as Alloa claimed a comfortable 2-0 win over Morton at The Recreation Park.
Aberdeen loanee McManus was a substitute for the other goalscorer Andrew Kirk and scored almost immediately five minutes from time, converting an Edward Fearns cross.
A late first-half goal from Andrew Kirk put the home side in front, highlighting the scale of the job ahead for new Morton manager Kenny Shiels, who takes over next week.
Bottom-of-the-table Morton had briefly looked lively, before a long-range Kevin Cawley shot was spilled by Nicolas Caraux and followed up by Kirk from close range.
The result moves Alloa up to fourth in the league, after Falkirk had their game abandoned due to bad weather.

MILLER, S.D. (AP) – The South Dakota chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union is protesting the distribution of Bibles to fifth-graders in the Miller School District.
The organization on Monday announced it sent a letter to the district's board of education president asking to reconsider its decision to approve the Bible distribution.
David Fremark is the school board's president. Fremark says he has not seen the letter.
The board last week voted to allow Gideons International to distribute pocket-size New Testaments to fifth-graders.
The ACLU says courts across the country have prohibited Bible distributions in public schools under a variety of circumstances. The group says schools that allow the distributions venture onto shaky constitutional grounds and potentially open themselves up to legal challenges.
Miller is located in central South Dakota.

Mobile Exam Room Stopping at the Barkin' Basin Dog Park on April 1
ST. JOSEPH, Mo., March 27 /PRNewswire/ -- This spring, some dog owners in Las Vegas will find that getting their pets' hearts checked is a walk in the park. Veterinary cardiologists on the Mobile Dog Heart Health Tour will make its first stop on April 1 with a sound-proof medical unit at the Barkin' Basin Dog Park to perform free heart examinations of area dogs.
(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090327/CG90322-a)
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090327/CG90322LOGO-b)
In addition to performing free heart health screenings, veterinarians will be available to answer questions for dog owners about the common ailment.
Heart disease in dogs is almost as common as it is in humans. About 11 percent of the nearly 75 million dogs in the United States have heart disease, and that figure increases to as many as 60 percent among dogs over age 5 and certain predisposed breeds. Yet, a national survey shows that more than half of dog owners are unaware that their dog may be at risk of heart failure.
"Early diagnosis and treatment of heart failure can significantly prolong and improve the quality of a dog's life," says Ruth MacPete, DVM, a San Diego veterinarian, media personality and pet author who will travel with a local veterinary cardiologist on the Mobile Dog Heart Health Tour. "We look forward to reaching out to local dog owners to educate them about heart disease in dogs and the treatment options. By emphasizing the importance of annual veterinary examinations and early diagnosis of heart disease, we hope to help more dogs live longer and better lives."

Although Ananda Yoga's introductory classes begin by teaching new students how to master the fundamental asanas, the studio's practice strives to promote more than physical development. Self-actualization and personal, spiritual growth lay the foundation, and the instructors help attendees work toward these goals by incorporating enlightening affirmations, breathing exercises, and centering meditation into the classes. These classes may vary in physical intensity as advanced students challenge their strength and stamina with deeper, longer stretches, but each sequence encourages the attendees to focus on their mind-body connection and calm their thoughts.

Invite students to explore why the ability to change color with the seasons is so important to the survival of some animals. Then challenge your children to draw a snowshoe hare, or another creature, in seasonal camouflage.
Challenge your students to find out the names of animals whose colors change with the seasons, such as the snowshoe hare, polar bear, white-tailed deer, and horned owl. With classmates, students compile a list of these creatures. Consider questions such as: What colors are these animals' coats in winter? In summer? What is each animal's natural habitat like? Identify their predators. Collect information and ideas about how camouflage makes a difference for predators and their prey.
Using Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils, students outline a snowshoe hare, or other animal whose coloring blends in with its surroundings, on construction paper. Cut out the drawing with Crayola Scissors.
Students fold a large piece of construction paper in half. Trace the animal twice, once on each side of the fold.
Using the colored pencils, the information researched, and one's imagination, children draw one side to show the animal in its winter habitat. For example, in winter a snowshoe hare's coat is white to provide protection in snowy fields.
Next, challenge students to create a summer/fall habitat on the other side of the paper showing the animals' coat and surroundings during that season.
Using their colored pencil erasers, students create highlights on the animal and the vegetation that grows in its natural habitats.
Set aside time in the school day to have students present their learning and artwork to classmates.

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Las Vegas Power Pass. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
This was GREAT! It allowed us to get to see many things without having to stop and book each one separately! The kids had enough stuff to keep them happy and the adults had a blast as well! I would tell everyone to do Vegas this way!
We purchased the 3 day pass for 6 adults and 3 children. It was great! This is the only way to do Las Vegas with a family.
Pass was great!! We purchased the 2 day pass. Went to Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, NYNY roller-coaster, Flightlinez, Wax Museum, and Planet Hollywood!!!! It was a great buy and me and my friends had a blast!!! Definitely worth the buy!!!
I was skepitcal about this pass but all of the reviews were positive. I was absolutely fantastic. I have to Vegas many times. Had a 3 day pass and got over twice the price in admissions. If you have a car you can easily see most of the attractions.
My family and I took advantage of this pass. It was great and well worth the money. Be sure to print your voucher and present it as the Planet Hollywood and Gifts at the Forum Shopping area. We did CSI experience, roller coaster at NY NY, we rode at the Stratosphere. We really enjoyed the Sky Zone. I would recommend to rent a vehicle to make it more fun. We will do it again.
The POWER PASS is the BEST thing anyone could possibly get when visiting Las Vegas. My wife and I got the 3 day pass and it was amazing to do everything that we could.
For everyone complaining about where to pick up the pass READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!!! It is NOT at Planet Hollywood. It is located at the Planet Hollywood Forum Shops at CAESAR's PALACE!!!
Stand in front of Caesar's Palace facing the building. Walk to the FAR RIGHT of it until you see a sign above a door that says FORUM SHOPS. Go into door. Go up to the 3rd floor and straight ahead is the Planet Hollywood shop at Caesar's Palace. Simple.

It was so easy with the pass as it saved me so much time with not having to wait in line to but tickets and I discovered a lot more to do with the pass than I had realised, had lots of fun.
Great! Very valuable pass to enjoy Vegas!
Las Vegas Power Pass is a must. 3 days and still couldn't do it all. Saved hundreds. I repeat a MUST HAVE.
Saudi Arabia
Nice and great , Thanx
A must for anyone travelling to Vegas,Highly recommended, experience of a life time and the best deal one could ever get.
United Kingdom
This is the second time that I have been to Vegas and bought the Las Vegas Power pass. We paid for a three day pass the first time we went and a two day pass this time. I would highly recommend it, you save so much money rather than paying individual ticket prices for entry into places. In the two days that we had the pass we got entry to the Stratosphere Tower, a ride on one of the Stratosphere rides, entrance to Madame Tussauds in the Venetian, The Rollercoaster at New York New York, the viewing deck at the Paris, entry to the Secret Garden and Dolphin and White Tiger habitat at the Mirage, and a free shuttle from the Fashion Show Mall to one of the Las Vegas Outlet centers, another trip I would highly recommend. Planet Hollywood on merchandise and food so we ended up with two Planet Hollywood T shirts which didn't cost us anything either. You also get 10 dollars spending money per day per pass to spend inThe pass has loads loads more to do as well, the only problem is trying to fit it all into the time that you have!!
Great pass, graet value for money, once you plan ahead.
Made it a lot easier to do things without worrying about how much it costs. You are also able to use the VIP line at some places, saves you the extra wait.
I recommend this pass to anyone going to Vegas, we took advantage of the 3 day pass and we had a ball. There is so much on the pass that you can do, given the time, we missed a lot of the low priority (to us) events on the pass, but managed to get everything that was high priority. Absolute value for money!!

The fourth guest to arrive to Kuro-San meeting of evil minds was the Thinking Man Villain, Enigma, he was a wearing a green suit covered in question marks along with a dark green pants, a green bowler cap with a purple question mark on it, purple gloves and a black domino mask to conceal his identity. Enigma also carried a cane with him when he arrives a waiter approached gently, properly as he was told to do, "Good evening Mr. En…." Before the waiter could even finish his sentence Enigma interrupted him 'Yes good evening to you Mr. Jamerson as in Clark Jamerson former employer of a packing company until the boss discovered you were stealing money from the company. You were sentence to 10 years in prison after you got out no one would take you because of your criminal background you were reduce to stealing and car jacking to make a living. You eventually wormed you way into the Yakuza where you are now working for the person who enraged this whole meeting." Jamerson stood speechless as Enigma smirked he love to prove that he was always the dominant force in the information war. "Tell me Jamerson who else has been invited to this meeting?" Jamerson began to stutter "W…Well Mr. Enigma…um…Newdeath, Zella Thorn, and um…Dr.V has arrived so far other then that I do not know." Enigma clenched his cane in his hand just hearing the name Newdeath pissed him off "Very well show me inside." As Enigma was lead to the meeting area he looked around the eyes of the domino mask were actually lenses that contain a super computer that was constantly fitting the Con-Man information about everything they looked out feeding his addiction for information. So Newdeath has been invited is it about time I met the so called Cunning Chameleon.
@Zella_Thorn: @Kuro_San: @Doctor_V: @Newdeath:
Enigma entered the room a little disappointed instead of a room filled with the world greatest villains he saw a room with filled four people who didn't not look villainous at all. For the moment Enigma turned off his domino mask ability to gather information and towards a chair. He recognize the few people in the room but did not have much information on them in the center was a man covered in shadows not allowing anyone to see his face, there was a woman with green tinted skin who appeared to be a harlot, a man who claimed to be a alchemist wearing basically rags, and of course wearing a cloak and conical hat sat the so called Cunning Chameleon Newdeath. Enigma walked to the edge of the circle the group had form letting the light shine on him twirling his black cane with his hand and listen to Newdeath speak "If this.. meeting proves to be beneficial, I can offer some aid in return to something good in return as well. For example, I have perfected immortality and much more, if anybody has something interesting to offer, I'm willing to share my secrets" Listening to the crimsoned eyed villain was infuriating for Enigma he despised Newdeath and everything the villain stood for 'Yes because I believe we all want to know your dark secret as to how to dress like so mysteriously. I'm sure we are all just dying for that information, and you even brought your stylists to help us how nice of you." Enigma arrogantly mocked Newdeath and the figures behind him who were dress similar to him. "Not to cut you or anything…I mean cut you off, but I was under the impression that this was supposed to be a meeting of the minds. All I see is a bunch of cheap down store thugs." The Thinking Man's Villain stopped spinning his cane and pointed it directly at Zella. "I understand that prosecution is a crime but was it really nesscary to invite the harlot…unless she is the entertainment. I wonder who is supposed to arrive next maybe the evil shop lift kid the greatest shop lifter ever." Enigma smirked he talk and acted arrogant to the room of the world greatest criminals. "Seriosuly what are we going to do take over the world by making them laugh at us to death."

"Zip file is corrupt!!!"

Couldn't test it!
ZIP file is corrupt. Downloading it and attempted to extract the content but failed to do so. Please update the file so then I will be able to download it. Thanks!
*P.S.: If anybody who has said so much about this control, can you please send this control to me? My EMail address is: firstname.lastname@example.com ... thanks in advance.
"Am I Dreaming? WOW"

"Didn't even work. Never managed to initialize."
Version: DMC2: Digital Music Control 2 1.0
I tried this control and couldn't even get it to initialize. The only error that it gave is "Failed to initialize". So now I'm off to find something that actually works all the time (at least most).
"Too good to be true..."
Version: DMC2: Digital Music Control 2 1.0
"Neat, lightweight and stable control."
Version: DMC2: Digital Music Control 2 1.0
Needs to have a few more events such as when a stream finishes playing. And properties such as the bitrate, stereo mode etc.
"Sent in $20 for license; no response"
Version: DMC2: Digital Music Control 2 1.0
The first version had a nice setup routine; the second left it up to the user to figure out how to register with Windows. I sent Izzysoft $20.00 for advance permission in case my product went commercial; have not heard from them since (i.e., They did not send me a formal agreement or acknowledgement of any sort).

I absolutely agree with this topic starter.
ThemeForest.net does not realize how many people stay away from ThemeForest simply due to the fact the the middle man takes 60% of the profit. The 40%-70% graphic comes with a hefty fine line tag: only when you have enough to buy a 2500 sq ft house for Envato (Sell more than $300,000.00 worth) do you start receiving 70%. By the time that happens, you, the originator of the design, can barely buy a new Audi. It's equivalent to them getting a house and you getting a car, even though you built the house and the car.
If they made the starting 50%, then up to 75% if you sell more than 5,000, then that will obviously drive many more developers to ThemeForest. Lets be honest, we, the freelance designers/developers supply ThemeForest with the best we have to offer. WE are the market. WE are the reason people buy our themes and scripts.
Someone mentioned they are already increased the % to authors. They don't do this because they are nice, they are trying to keep people out of the market. For example, the reason diamonds cost so much is because there is a shortage – the largest diamond supplier purposely keeps diamonds off the market. The move 'Blood Diamond' is very accurate.. Control the supply, control the market, and ThemeForest is trying to do just that.
However, I understand this is how every market evolves. There's a huge potential for profit, which will cause more developers to dive in. Luckily, there is already a movement of many well respected developers and businesses in the open source community to create an alternative – something similar to the BuySellAds.com framework.
I use Joomla! + Virtue Mart. very powerful CMS /E-Commerce solution.
A lot of good points in this article. A key one you hit on was the fact that this is a very attractive market that brings in a lot of buyers. Simply having access to the market is valuable.
One thing I know that could potentially equalize the profit sharing is competition. And currently there is no other ThemeForest or FlashDen out there.
So, until then, I will glady do my business with you all
I would suggest Joomla!. You only have 1 index.php page and a you can load whatever stylesheets you need. You put the module positions and main text functions where they need to load, and you're set. I can pump out a Joomla! theme in about 2-3 hours.
SmashingMagazine.com comes out with great inspirational website/resources every month or so. Make them your homepage while you're at it!
The majority of users don't pass the $500 mark to make it into the 35% profit range. And the majority of those who do do not get past the required $2,499 to reach 36%.
Basically, I am suggestion they cut the profits at least 50/50. This will get more freelances to submit and more buyers to buy if there's more to buy.
Anyone else have any thoughts?

Thank you for your reply, Ok this is what i did in /mnt/lfs/sources: (before, i did follow the steps to configure binutils-2.23.2: that worked, i did not see any error) 1. tar -xvf gcc-4.8.1.tar.bz2 2. cd gcc-4.8.1 3. tar -Jxf ../mpfr-3.1.2.tar.xz 4. mv -v mpfr-3.1.2 mpfr 5. tar -Jxf ../gmp-5.1.2.tar.xz 6. mv -v gmp-5.1.2 gmp 7. tar -zxf ../mpc-1.0.1.tar.gz 8. mv -v mpc-1.0.1 mpc 9. -> executed the script below for file in \ $(find gcc/config -name linux64.h -o -name linux.h -o -name sysv4.h) do cp -uv $file{,.orig} sed -e 's@/lib\(64\)\?\(32\)\?/ld@/tools&@g' \ -e 's@/usr@/tools at g' $file.orig > $file echo ' #undef STANDARD_STARTFILE_PREFIX_1 #undef STANDARD_STARTFILE_PREFIX_2 #define STANDARD_STARTFILE_PREFIX_1 "/tools/lib/" #define STANDARD_STARTFILE_PREFIX_2 ""' >> $file touch $file.orig done I did copy that from the book. 9.1 sed -i '/k prot/agcc_cv_libc_provides_ssp=yes' gcc/configure 10. mkdir -v ../gccbuild 11. cd ../gccbuild 12. did type the command char by char from the book and double checked :) ../gcc-4.8.1/configure --target=$LFS_TGT --prefix=/tools --with-sysroot=$LFS --with-newlib --without-headers --with-local-prefix=/tools --with-native-system-header-dir=/tools/include --disable-nls --disable-shared --disable-multilib --disable-decimal-float --disable-threads --disable-libatomic --disable-libgomp --disable-libitm --disable-libmudflap --disable-libquadmath --disable-libsanitizer --disable-libssp --disable-libstdc++-v3 --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-mpfr-include=$(pwd)/../gcc-4.8.1/mpfr/src --with-mpfr-lib=$(pwd)/mpfr/src/.libs 13. make and then i got error mentioned before. Do i need to configure && make && make install gmp, mpfr and mpc before in my /mnt/sources/tools directorie? I also thought about using some more statements to configure gcc, something like "--with-gmp-include=../gcc-4.8.1/gmp/..." or with "--with-mpc-lib=../gcc-4.8.1/mpc..." but there is no include dir, nor the lib dir... Where is my mistake? Thank you for anything you can help me with. Kenan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
