Solution
After reading the RMagick installation FAQ it seem there is a problem with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH that cannot find the needed libraries as they are installed in /usr/local/lib instead of /usr/lib.
Doing a quick search revealed that people suggest that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH shouldn’t be changed, for various reasons.
So, the quick solution is to create a couple of symbolic links for the libraries that cannot be found, ie:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libMagickWand.so.4 /usr/lib/libMagickWand.so.4
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libMagickCore.so.4 /usr/lib/libMagickCore.so.4

Solution
After reading the articles here and here, the steps required were:

• Select driver ATI Radeon HD 2000 and later (radeon/fglrx)
• Don’t select proprietary driver from next screen
• Run xrandr -q to find out the name of the monitors
• From the output find out the current resolution (1440×900), names (VGA_1,DVI-I_2/analog) and maximum resolution (1440×900)
• Edit the xorg.conf file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and add the Virtual 2880 900 (without quotes) underneath the Modes line in the Display Subsection
• Save the file and restart the X server
• Run again the xrandr -q command and make sure the maximum resolution has changed to 2880×900
• Run xrandr –output DVI-I_2/analog –auto –right-of VGA_1 to put one screen next to the other
• Follow the description here to set it up permanently on login

Solution
Add the following to the /etc/modprobe.conf file:
sudo vi /etc/modprobe.conf
install tg3 /sbin/modprobe broadcom; /sbin/modprobe/ –ignore-install tg3

Solution
Download the px tools from here.

Follow the instructions, in the INSTALL file after you untar the file.
You should have to do the usual three step linux installation:

configure
make
sudo make install

Afterwards to make sure that the .db file is a paradox file run:

pxinfo -f  path/to/paradox/db/file.db

The program should read the header and report back with something along the lines:

File-Version: Paradox 7.x
Filetype: indexed .DB
....

To export each Paradox db file to an sql statement run the following:

pxsqldump -d mysql -f path/to/paradox/file.db > path/to/mysql/exported/file.sql

Solution
In Mandriva you need to install the ruby-sqlite3 and the development libraries first, like:

sudo urpmi ruby-sqlite3
sudo urpmi libsqlite3-devel

After that you should be able to install the gem as normal.

Solution
If you were using subversion it would be very simple to do by using the remote url.
In CVS you have to to do the following:
First find out where the cvsroot in the remote server is. We will assume for this example that is located in /usr/local/cvsroot.
Then run the following on your local linux pc:

export CVSROOT=:ext:user_name@remote_pc:/path_to_csvroot export
export CVS_RSH=ssh

You then should be able to do a checkout by typing the following and supplying your password:

cvs checkout project_name

Solution
We assume that you already have installed ssh and have created ssh public keys in your local machine.

1. Run the following in your local machine:

   ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user_name@remote_host

2. If you want to add aliases in your bash profile so you don’t have to type the whole address of the remote host, edit your .bashrc and add:

   alias short_name="ssh user_name@remote_host"

3. Restart your X server
4. You should be able to login with ssh without using your password by typing in your command prompt in your local machine:

   short_name

You can use Ghostscript:
