[comp.mail.elm] Need Help Installing elm 2.3

markus@ee.washington.edu (Markus Lankeit) (06/07/91)

Anyone out there installed elm on a NeXT before...?  I do some limited remote  
login via a modem from home and would _love_ to be able to use elm to read my  
mail, rather than the ucb mailer (yuk!).  Anyway, so I got elm 2.3 and went  
through the Config. process.  So, I do the make all thing and here's what I  
get:

cd src; make - all
chmod u+w ../hdrs/defs.h
touch ../hdrs/defs.h
chmod u+w ../hdrs/headers.h
touch ../hdrs/headers.h
cc  -O -I../hdrs    -c addr_util.c
addr_util.c:45: no args to macro `index'
addr_util.c:45: no args to macro `rindex'
*** Exit 1
Stop.

Now, I noticed elm not finding index in the configuration process -- it also  
couldn't find my c library...  Anyway, I tried mailing elm@dsi.com and also its  
author, both of which bounced.  So, if there's anyone out there that is willing  
to give me a hand in this, I'd sure appreciate it!  (Please reply direct  
through email -- I'd be happy to post a summary of how to correctly install elm  
on a NeXT once I get it to work myself...)

Thanks in advance!

You don't mention if its NEXTStep 1.0 or 2.0, but...

Taken from 2.4's README file: (I think 2.3's was too old for
NeXTStep 2.0):

	On Next's version 1.0 it is necessary to answer -bsd for the
Any additional cc flags? question and -lsys_s for the
Any additional libraries? question within Configure.

	On Next's version 2.0 it is necessary to answer -bsd and
-fwritable-strings for the "Any additional cc flags?" question and
-lsys_s for the "Any additional libraries?" question within Configure.
When asked about where the cc library is because Configure
can't find it, answer: /lib/libsys_s.a .

>Anyway, I tried mailing elm@dsi.com and also its author, both of which bounced.
Don't know why elm@dsi.com bounced for you, but I know that the
old address for Dave Taylor no longer works.
