[comp.unix.aux] Anyone get "NoNews" to run under A/UX?

steve@cpdaux.UUCP (Steve Lemke) (07/14/89)

I just recently tried to get the most recent release of NoNews (3 ?) to
work on my Mac II running A/UX v1.1, but was unsuccessful.  Actually, the
whole thing compiled ok, but when I tried to "makedb" it crashed a horrible
crash (messing up windows on the screen temporarily).  I think it said
something about a fatal error (it wasn't kidding).  Anyway, I was tired and
frustrated at the time (after spending several hours only to get it to
crash), so I threw it all away (I do still have the two configuration
files that I modified: config.h and s-usg3-1.h).

If anyone has any ideas on getting this to work, or (ideally) if you already
have it running, I'd like to hear from you.

I had no problem with installing NN under A/UX 1.1, and have been using
it continuously.  The s-aux1.1.h file included with PATCH.4 is one that
I submitted.  I suspect that something in yours isn't set right.

By mail, I am sending you my config.h and s-aux1.1.h files.

Ah, I've discovered that I'm missing PATCH.4.  I should be receiving those
from a friend of mine shortly. (Hello, Todd?  You still there? :-)

Thanks - I received them yesterday, and as soon as I get the PATCH.4 I'll
try it all again.
