I just installed R4 with patches 1-12 under HPUX 7.0 (not gcc). The
core clients seem to work, but there are several contrib clients that
all die with the same error message:
Error: Cannot perform realloc
For instance: xtalk (Yaser Doleh, Kent State), a pretty darned simple
program, dies right after realizing its widgets while executing
XtOverrideTranslations. If I link with -lmalloc, the message becomes:
Error: Cannot perform calloc
Can anyone help?

Anyway, there was a problem in the "hp.cf" config file: the -DMALLOC_0_RETURNS_NULL should be defined. Well, I did that and still it didn't work, probably my own stupidity, but I solved it by putting this at the beginning of the file "mit/lib/X/Xlibos.h": #ifdef hpux # define MALLOC_0_RETURNS_NULL #endif hpux Next I did a 'make World' again, and it's runs great since then... good luck, --[ Edwin ]-- -- Edwin Kremer (SysAdm), Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University Padualaan 14, P.O.
