[comp.unix.questions] Installing Top under SunOS 4.0.X

peterson@EXIT.CS.FSU.EDU (Eric J. Peterson) (01/06/90)

I have a public domain program called Top 2.0 by William Lefevre.  It
successfully compiles under Ultrix 2.0 on a VAX, and on a Sun 3/280 under SunOS
3.5.  However, I have not been able to compile it successfully on a Sun 3/480
under SunOS 4.0.X.  I have narrowed the problem down to some major differences
in the proc table between the two versions.  However, I have been unable to
contact the author of the program to see if there is a patch to it for 4.0.X.

Does anyone else use this program?  Does anyone know the current whereabouts of
the author, as I have received no response from mail sent to the account listed
in the documentation (phil@rice.edu)?  Has anyone implemented this on SunOS
4.0.X?  I ask only to see if someone has a patch to it before I go and hack it
up to make it work.

Thanks in advance.

Eric

There is a Newer version on titan.rice.edu that WILL compile just fine under
SunOS 4.0.x.  You should go ahead and retrieve that one.

As for William LeFebvre, he has is at NorthWestern U. (last I heard) and can be
reached at the E-mail address of: phil@pex.eecs.nwu.edu.

Helpful hint for Sun-4 users:

Like many kmem readers, top has the system page size compiled in.  You
need separate binaries for Sun-4/60s (4K page size) and other Sun-4s (8K
page size).
