I compiled the NN source recently posted to comp.sources.unix on a Gould
PowerNode 6000 running UTX32 2.0/U6 without any problems being noted.
When the program is run it moves the cursor to the top right corner then
after a few seconds the following appears at the bottom of the screen:
No News
There are still ##### unread articles in ### groups.
and the program returns.
I have retraced all of the steps and read through the "PROBLEMS" file
several times and don't see anything that would indicate why it doesn't
work properly. If someone else has conquered this problem I would love to
hear about the solution. I know it must work on the Gould because there a
was machine dependent configuration file for a Gould.
Any help would be appreciated.

That is exactly what happens on my HP9000/825.

I also read PROBLEMS and checked my s-file (I wrote the new one for hpux 3.0)
and m-file and couldn't get it to work. Nncheck -t does find a lot of new
news and also nnadmin finds articles. In my opinion nnmaster works and nn
doesn't.
If someone knows the solution, please, POST it or e-mail to me, too.

The 'nnmaster' program marks a group as BLOCKED while it is updating the database for that group. Did you try to run 'nn' soon after you started the 'nnmaster' daemon? If so, 'nn' will generally exit after a couple of groups (if you are lucky) becasue all the other are BLOCKED by the daemon. I learnt about this the hard way. If you want to verify my opinion try running the program 'nnadmin' and execute a 'Validate' in the first menu and you will immediately see all the groups that are BLOCKED. The only way out of this is to just sit around until the updates are complete (this takes forever in the first run of NN package), after that it isn't so bad since it is update every so often (depending on how nnmaster was invoked). Hope that helps, good luck. -Anantha- ******************************************************************************* Anantha Padmanabha N.

Did you take out the !! line in the LIBDIR/init file? I had exactly this problem until I realized that the !! line means to not present any articles in the groups that follow. (Actually, it means only present the groups listed before this point in the file).

Since my original post I have recieved a note from Kim saying: "Wait for patch #3, it might fix the problem (together with patch #2)." I sure hope so......... -Ray -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ray Smith | UUCP: {uunet,aplcen,netsys,sundc}!anagld!rcsmith Analytics, Inc. | ARPA: RCSmith@DOCKMASTER.ARPA or Suite 200 | anagld!rcsmith@uunet.uu.net 9891 Broken Land Parkway | Columbia, MD 21046 | Voice: (301) 381-4300 Fax: (301) 381-5173 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
