Using AIX for PS/2 V1.1 I installed WHIP once. /usr/lib/whip/terminfo was missing some files, so I must have screwed-up somewhere. I decided to re-install WHIP, to see what went wrong (since I could not manage to de-install WHIP, despite what SHOULD be on the install disk). When I reinstalled WHIP (after telling it "Yes, go ahead and install on top of the existing verion") the install died with a core dump in the install script (soon after copying the files off the diskettes). The sequence of events is... Segmentation violation Directory or files missing Segmentation violation WHIP Installed Successfully (Funny, I don't think this is "success." :-( ) I would prefer NOT to have to re-install the whole d**n AIX from scratch ANOTHER time (is this 10?). Any help would be appreciated. -- Kevin Kleinfelter @ Management Science America, Inc (404) 239-2347 gatech!nanovx!msa3b!kevin

This problem plagued me as well. For some time the only fix appeared to be to reinstall AIX and WHIP - not exactly an acceptable solution. I have learned that in certain cases this problem can be caused by an incorrect stanza in /etc/system. Find the 3270 Connection Card stanza in /etc/system and make sure that the the "slot" parameter is NOT set to "slot = planar". Change this stanza so that it reads "slot = #" where # is the slot that contains the 3270 card. If you make this change, you must rebuild the kernel in order for it to become effective (use the newkernel command). -- +------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | John Garnett | Base 1.9 | | garnett@rpp386.cactus.org | | | {bigtex|texbell}!rpp386!garnett | "It's almost binary" |
