  1. Let $X$ be a topological space such that every open cover has a finite refinement. Then is $X$ compact, or is there a counterexample?

  2. Let $X$ be a topological space such that every open cover has a locally finite subcover. Then is $X$ compact, or is there a counterexample?

    In 1, do you mean finite **open** refinement? And in 2, locally finite **open** subcover?2010-12-09
