[comp.sys.mips] Anyone installed nn 6.4?

rrr@hare.udev.cdc.com (Richard R Ragan) (06/14/90)

I'm trying to install nn 6.4 under 4.20 system.  The first
problem I had was that vprintf and vsprintf are not in the
bsd43 libraries (but are ins System V ones). Why not in both?
 
In any event, having worked around that one I am up to the
point where nnmaster is talking to the NNTP server OK but
having troubles after that. If anyone has nn 6.4 up and
running using NNTP from another machine I'd appreciate
hearing from you. 
Thanks

    I've built nn 6.4 without any serious trouble on an M/2000
running a 4.50-beta OS (and I've totally stopped using xrn or rrn).  
On checking, I see that I've got v*printf in both bsd and sysv
versions of libc.a.
