Hey ho... I'm having considerable problems installing gman on a 4D/25 running IRIS 3.3.1. I have installed the default set-up as far as the last line in the "make catman-db" sequence in the Makefile. At this point, makeix and, from within it, ixman, are giving me undecipherable problems. To start, the default script makeix hands "db/stop" to ixman; this creates a problem wherein ixman can't find the "default stop files". Moving the stop.[D,L] files to /usr/catman and change makeix is a workaround. Next, the stop.[D,L] files created by cat'ing the PROTO/{connectives,manualstops} are not the same as those provided in the tar file. In particular, stop.L is different according to "diff". Replacing both stop files with the stops in PROTO avoids numerous errors "Error storing index for <key-word>". Finally, makeix appears to run for a while, coughs up one or two "Error storing index" errors, says that the HashDB table is over-full and then drops a core. Many people seem to have had no problems installing gman. I have made no modifications or customizations to the original package. What's going on? Anyone who wants details such as typescripts, just ask.
