Can anybody out there help me with setting up the news software? I am running Xenix 2.2.3 on a Compaq 386/20. The problem I encountered was after I compiled the news 2.11 code. I run into problems when I try running readnews or vnews. When I invoke readnews, I get: Stack Overflow Bus error - core dumped When I invoke vnews, I get: vnews: too big What are these messages, and how can I fix the news software so that vnews and/or readnews will work? ( I ran the localize.sh for Xenix ) Also, I am having a nasty time installing rn. Could somebody give me some pointers on installing it? It bombs out in the end while linking, giving the message: LINK: unresolved externals: It then goes on to list several externals that caused it to bomb out. Specifically, all of the errors are coming from term.c. It complains about tgoto, tgetnum, tgetstr, tputs, tgetflag, and tgetent. I don't understand why these are giving it a problem. I would appreciate it anybody could send me some pointers on how to set up the software. Thanks Shawn McDonald ( killer!tness7!tness5! )
