No /dev/pty in Puppy?

No /dev/pty/* in Puppy,but /dev/pty*

Can I do something to tell some applications that /dev/pty* is /dev/pty/*?

How?

Some applications want a pty,Such as Cxterm, and return error "can find no available ptys?"

Thanks.

You could try creating symbolic links to /dev/pty* using /dev/pty/*.

Thanks,but what to do?

In bash:
mkdir /dev/pty
ln /dev/ptyp1 /dev/pty/pty1 ?

You create a symbolic link by using the ln -s command. T

To link /dev/pty/* to /dev/pty* you need to open a terminal in /dev, you can do that by using rox to open the /dev directory and then right click in the directory and select 'Xterm here'.

Type in

ln -s /dev/pty* /dev/pty/*

to suit whatever you are trying to show to your program.
