Hi, I'm trying to use the GNU regex routines that are available as part of _many_ GNU products. (emacs-18.58, gdb-4.5, xxgdb-1.06, to name a few.) I'm running into problems using them on an Rs/6000 running AIX 3.1 (or 3.2 for that matter.) Specifically, I'm trying to compile xxgdb on an rs/6000 and running into problems with Regexp parsing using these routines. It SEGV's attempting recognize the most simple of regexp's like '[ ]*'. Has anyone been able to use these on an Rs/6000 ? I'd suspect that it is a memory leak which fails to get past AIX's stringent memory management scheme. The same code works on a Sun and other platforms. Has anyone got xxgdb working on an Rs/6000 ? Is there a newer version of this code that I can ftp from anywhere ? The regex.[ch] that is part of the above GNU products does not seem to work on Rs/6000's. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, -Shiva -=- ITS Systems Programmer.
