I give up. I finally got epoch4.0p0 built on this lame-ass piece of sh*t (see previous messages, plus I had to undef HAVE_RANDOM and BSTRING in ascii/config.h because SCO puts those routines in libX.a -- idiots.) and it immediately barfs because gethostname() doesn't work! The call is correct according to the spec, but it's returning -1. Perror tells me it's an "invalid argument." (Yeah, right.) So I hack around that and I start getting "Xlib: sequence lost..." errors. The epoch process then goes into CPU-eating mode and I eventually kill it from the command line. If anyone manages to port this thing to SCO (though why you'd waste your time with this lame-ass system if you didn't have to is beyond me), please let me know how you did it. -- --Alan Wexelblat phone: (508)294-6120 Bull Worldwide Information Systems internet: wex@pws.bull.com Billerica, MA wexelblat.chi@xerox.com A++ is an object-oriented version of a perfect score.
