I have been trying to run the Configure file in Eunice but I keep getting
the following error:
%RSX-F-NOTSKIMG, file is not a valid RSX-11 task image
Configure: 7932
This error accurs when Configure tries to execute the '$eunicefix loc'
statement. I hope somebody out there can help me with this. Thanks in
advance

They most definitely do not; perhaps they did under a much earlier version, but I doubt it (Sorry Larry; on real Unix systems they work better than anything I've seen; if you send me metaconfig I'd be delighted to fix it to generate scripts that come closer to working on Eunice). The $eunicefix variable is supposed to contain a command to change shell scripts to the right file type on Eunice (they must be in VMS text file format), and to do nothing on Eunice systems. It is used before it is defined, unfortunately. One solution is to say "sh script" instead of "script"; this works regardless of file type. Also, executable images may have an .exe extension, or they may not, so in locating commands, path/foo.exe must be searched for in addition to path/foo. So the loc script has to be changed as well for Eunice, so it will find (say) /bin/mv.exe and report it as /bin/mv. There are a couple of other minor nits as well. -- - Joe Buck jbuck@epimass.EPI.COM {seismo,ucbvax,sun,decwrl,<smart-site>}!epimass.epi.com!jbuck Old arpa mailers: jbuck%epimass.EPI.COM@seismo.css.gov
