Does anyone know the incantation to get GNU tar to compile (correctly!) on a rs/6000? I did it once, but stupidly clobbered my GNU stuff when I did the update. And now I can't remember what I did. Oops. thank you so very much, rob -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Unix has its weak points, but its file system is not one of them." -Chris Torek rob rob@asrcmv.albany.edu or rds95@leah.albany.edu or rob@dinner.albany.edu I have no idea what the uucp path to me is.

Took some source hacking, at least for me.... there isn't a sys/tape.h, and the symbols are different in sys/scsi.h.... gnutar is Berkeleyish, and you have to do some extra ioctl()'s to get bsd line discipline active..... you'll need #pragma alloca... I had to rearrange some procedures to get their declarations in order.... diffs (standard context) were 461 lines plus an extra .h file for the #defines so I could map mt-defs to scsi defs... again, You Want It, You Got It... -- Glenn R.
