[comp.lang.prolog] sbprolog v3.0 on sparc

jwl@garnet.berkeley.edu (James Wilbur Lewis) (05/07/91)

Has anyone succeeded in building a working sbprolog on a Sparcstation?
It compiled just fine for me (modulo an "unknown suffix" complaint from 
the loader about linking with builtin/builtin).   I edited the INIT
file so that SIMPATH was correct for my installation, but when I
tried running it with the sbp alias, Prolog immediately halted (the
message was "Halt.  Program terminated normally"), dumping me back in the
shell.  Running it again with the -t options showed that stuff from $readloop
was being loaded, but it croaked with a bus error before anything
interesting showed up in the trace messages.

What's going on??

I had exactly the same problem bringing up sbprolog on a Sun386i Roadrunner.
It went away after I made the single change of substituting gcc for cc.
