I just installed elm 2.2 today at my site.
Configuration went faily well, I am running a Data General MV10000 using
DG/UX 4.02. This is a Sys V r3 based system with *all* of the Berkeley
system calls (except maybe 2-3, there are so minor I don't remeber what they
are).
In the module newmail.c, on line 193 there is an exit() without a parameter,
made my compiler get upset. Should probably fix that. ( I just stuck a 0
in there)
In the module hdrconfg.c on line 117, my system wants the two masks:
IOERR == IO_ERR and
IOEOF == IO_EOF
I'm not sure if this is dg/ux wierdness. I think our stdio is proprietary.
These were just the minor compile concerns. This is my real problem:
Unfortunately, if a user has mail in their system mailbox (/usr/mail/<user>)
Elm will clear the screen and report:
Error encountered while attempting to flock mailbox /usr/mail/tom;
** EBADF - Bad file number.**
Which is a real bummer. Any help? Ideas? Reading the mail file with
mailx or mailx works fine.
Thanks in advance.
