A/UX's xdr(3) implementation is definitely broken. Now we need to discover why this wasn't discovered by the `configure' script. Would you please do the following: 1. Apply the following patch to the `configure' script: *** configure Fri Jun 11 14:16:55 1993 --- /tmp/t.t Mon Feb 28 15:13:43 1994 *************** *** 598,603 **** --- 598,604 ---- fi echo checking for XDR header-file + set echo if test -z "$CPP_XDR"; then for dir in /usr/include/rpc /usr/local/include/rpc \ $prefix/include `case "xdr" in *************** *** 741,746 **** --- 742,748 ---- XDR_INSTALL_DEPS=installed_headers LD_XDR= fi + exit rm -f conftest* echo checking for function prototypes 2. Run the `configure' script and send me the output. 3. Move the file `conftest.c', which was created by the `configure' script, to the file `testxdr.c'. 4. Move the program `conftest', which was also created by the `configure' script, to the file `testxdr'. 5. run `testxdr' and send me the output. -------- Steve Emmerson <address@hidden>
