On a SUN Sparcserver 470 , perl4.0 installed okay, but I had problems running "h2ph" on some of the include files. And a perl user ran his perl script (that works under perl3.044) with -d (debug) flag, and got "segmentation fault - core dumped". That last error went away when I changed compiler options from -O (optimize) to -g (debug). However, the problem running "h2ph" remains. That problem is: cd /usr/include h2ph * /sys/* dies with "segmentation fault - core dumped" It died on "h2ph math.h" with "sementation fault - core dumped" But doing "h2ph math.h" by itself was okay. Then, continuing on with a shell loop, h2ph failed on memory.h, sys/mbuf.h , sys/msg.h , sys/vfs.ph with either "segmentation fault", or "out of memory" errors. Running "h2ph" directly on each would sometimes run error free. But there was one that never ran (I forget which, sorry). I Configured several times, using all defaults except: 1) with -O optimization flag 2) with -g debug flag 3) with none (compiler options), and not using perl's malloc But none would allow h2ph * /sys/* to run error free using perl4.000 (downloaded directly from jpl-devvax.jpl.nasa.gov ). However, re-running Configure on the perl3.044 DID do the h2ph ... ok (as expected ). Just FYI. MIKE HUMMELL mike@isg.llnl.gov
