Hello,
While porting programs (traceroute and a graphics interpreter)
to EP/IX (1.4.3),
I end up with the error-message:

    ld:
   Undefined:
   _ctype


I have not found this routine anywhere, but there are 
"ctype" or "ctype_".
Is there a typo in a ?.h-file ? In which ?

Thanks for any help.

_ctype is defined in the sysv "flavor" of libc.a.  It is a table used by
the 
the macros (such as isascii and isdigit) in the ctype.h include file.

In the bsd43 world, the comparable table is named "_ctype_".

Is it possible that you are mixing sysv and bsd43 during your compilation?
For example, could you be doing something like this?

        cc -systype sysv -c program.c
        cc -systype bsd43 -o program program.o

Another possibility is that you are compiling for bsd43, but you are
using full path names for includes.  For example:

       #include </usr/include/ctype.h>

in your C program or perhaps:

       cc -systype bsd43 -I/usr/include -c program.c

for your compile command.
