I've been testing some FORTRAN code on these machines. The xlf compiler appears to be working fine, but once executed I always get the message: Error occurred while initializing the message system in file: xlfsmsg.cat Any suggestions ? Doesn't appear serious, but the message is very annoying looking. -Ivan -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Guillermo Ivan Maldonado | Internet: ivan%nepjt@ncsuvx.ncsu.edu | | Dept. of Nuclear Engineering | BITNET : maldonado@ncsune | | North Carolina State University |---------------------------------------- | NCSU Box # 7909 | ... que viva Quito ! | | Raleigh.

Perhaps your environment variables LANG or NLSPATH are not set, or set incorrectly.

Perhaps your environment variables LANG or NLSPATH are not set, or set incorrectly. For example, LANG=C or LANG=En_US and NLSPATH=/usr/lpp/msg/%L/%N:/usr/lpp/msg/prime/%N LANG=C should give the familar terse messages and En_US should give a more 'friendly,' descriptive message. These variable should have been set up in the /etc/profile during installation. Hope this helps Disclaimer: I don't speak for my employer, they don't speak for me.

Look for files in /usr/lpp/msg/En_US that are not world readable, in particular the file you mention above. -- Bjorn Engsig, Domain: bengsig@oracle.nl, bengsig@oracle.com Path: uunet!mcsun!orcenl!bengsig From IBM: auschs!ibmaus!cs.utexas.edu!uunet!oracle!bengsig
