I have Elm 2.3 Patchlevel 6 up and running on ISC 2.0.2 here at wolves and also on the Opus PM400's (Motorola 88000 cpu) at work. The Configure and build went smoothly and Elm works fine. On the 88k, however, Elm gets a EINVAL error on the utime(2) call. This doesn't really hurt anything but it is annoying. I investigated a little more and discovered that the origin of this is in the simplistic way in which the Configure script looks for a definition of the utimbuf structure. It is noted that some systems are "known to not define utimbuf for some *very* obscure reason", but I would like to suggest that a simple test for utime.h or sys/utime.h might be useful. It does exist on the 88k (but not on ISC!) and is NOT the same as the one used by default (details on request). This only effects leavembox.c anyhow. -- Gregory G.
