IT Salaries to Grow 0.5% in 2005

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the more-in-the-pocket dept.

halfacrayon writes "According to Robert Half Technology 2005 Salary Guide, average base pay for IT professionals overall will rise 0.5% in 2005. Data security analysts will command the highest salary (up to $93K), while system auditors will enjoy the highest increase compared to 2004 rates (5.1%). IT instructors are holding the bottom spot in terms of gross revenues (salary could go as low as $43,250) and business systems analysts will barely notice the increase of 1.9% that they should expect in 2005."

  1. Need Linux Help (Slightly OT) by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Linux newbie here, just trying it cause you all said I should.

    So how can I get Thunderbird 1.0 installed on Ubuntu? First of all, the Mozilla page itself has absolutely zero information. All it says under installation instructions is "Windows : Run the setup.exe". Gee, thanks. It says nothing about Linux.

    Using apt-get or synaptic or whatever, I can only get version 0.8 of Thunderbird which is really old. I want version 1.0.

    So I downloaded it from Mozilla, and extracted it and it gave me a bunch of binaries. Phew, I don't have to build the thing! I'm thinking.

    No such luck. When I try to execute thunderbird I get the error "unable to find shared library libgtk2.0-x11-2.0.so.0" or something like that. Where the heck do I get that? A google search reveals nothing but a bunch of other people stuck trying to get other stuff working on a variety of other distros.

    Any help? Please? I'm about to give up on Linux :(

      I forgot to say - whatever file it is complaining about (libgtk-2.00-- blah blah) actually IS sitting right there in /usr/lib or somewhere like that.

      Is the problem that I am running Ubuntu x64 version?

      ln -s /usr/lib/libgtk.la /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-2.so.0.0.0

      Try running it through strace, it will give a more informative error message about what's failing. Could very well be 64-bit incompatiblity... maybe you should try a purely from source distro like Gentoo?

    $40 million for inaugural, raises for IT workers and polticians, but still no god damn armor or comfortable boots for soldiers.
