I am dying to run moria, but I've run into a couple of snags.
The first one dealt with extracting files 4 and 11. When the files
moria.doc.2 and moria.doc.1 were extracted, the message "shar: moria.doc.1
unpacked with wrong size!" was displayed.
The other problem I have encountered thus far happened when I went to
compile the source using the 4.3 makefile. The variable type "uid_t"
from types.h gave an "undefined variable" error message. I would
appreciate any info you could give me on these error messages.
Thanks.

I had that problem too, infact when I went to read the doc files they were pretty well garbaged. I doubt they got out of tek correctly as I am only 2 hops away, could they be re-posted? >The other problem I have encountered thus far happened when I went to >compile the source using the 4.3 makefile.

I too had this problem, you need to make shure that uid_t and gid_t are typedef'ed in your "/usr/include/sys/types.h", if they are not find out what they should be from the man page for getuid(2) and getgid(2) and add the lines typedef int uid_t /* or whatever you find this should be */ typedef int gid_t /* or whatever you find this should be */ to the file <sys/types.h>. If you don't have write permision to this file just add the two lines in the offending file (I don't remember the name of it). -michael -- ...!tektronix!reed!percival!nerd | If my employer knew my opinions he would ...!uunet!littlei!percival!nerd | probably be looking for another engineer.

There is YAMP (Yet Another Moria Problem).
The config.h file has:
#define LIBDIR(xxx) "/foo/bar/lib/xxx"
#define FOO LIBDIR(foofile)
#define BAR LIBDIR(barfile)
.
.
.
This is NON STANDARD. Some of used REAL C COMPILERS which don't like
this construction. According to ANSI, cpp macros are not to be expanded
when found inside "" or ''.
So: please don't post things like this. This particular bug causes
moria to nicely clear the screen and terminate without a word!
