I am having some difficulty building the "S" statistics package on a SPARCstation running 4.0.3. The current roadblock (an earlier roadblock related to using an S-supplied m4 preprocessor was overcome by compiling it without the -O option to cc) is related to the BSD relocation_info struct that is normally defined in /usr/include/a.out.h. Such a structure is not defined in the SPARC's a.out.h, although one that looks very similar named "reloc_info_sparc" does appear (in an included include file). Unfortunately, the reloc_info_sparc struct is missing some of the fields normally found in the relocation_info struct. The missing fields, which are referenced in the code I am playing with, are r_pcrel, r_symbolnum and r_length. How do you obtain the information normally accessbile through the missing fields? I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has tread these waters before me. If you got the new verison of S running on your SPARCstation I would REALLY like to hear from you. Please respond via email, as I don't read sun-spots regularly. Thanks! Tim Perala (tperala@ub.d.umn.edu) Systems Programmer Information Services University of Minnesota, Duluth (218) 726-6122
