Hi. I'm tired of being stupid, but there's probably no hope for me. Situation: OS: Ultrix 3.1 Platform: DecStation 3100 Shell: tcsh 5.20.02 Compiler: cc (MIPS c compiler) Optimization flags: NONE Other cc flags: -DLANGUAGE_C -UWAITPID -UVOLATILE lib flags: -ldbm -lm Problem: Perl has been compiled - it passes all but io.fs and op.exec. Moving io.fs to /tmp and running the test passes with flying colors. op.exec fails on test 1 every time. This has been explained to me as the system call not returning the proper exit status. Fine. My questions is: How do you get around it? Is it a problem with my machines only, or do others running Ultrix 3.1 have the same problem? Should I kill myself or simply give up on running this version of perl? -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- | Iain | jb3o@andrew.cmu.edu | iain@stat.cmu.edu | R746JB30@VB.CC.CMU.EDU | -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- | therion@drycas.club.cc.cmu.edu | SNAIL MAIL: 5516 Howe Apt #2. | | bruhaha@anthrax.club.cc.cmu.edu | Pittsburgh, PA 15232 | ----------------------------------|++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ | "He divines remedies against injuries; | "Words are drugs." | | he knows how to turn serious accidents | -Antero Alli | | to his own advantage; whatever does not | | | kill him makes him stronger." | "Culture is for bacteria." | | - Friedrich Nietzsche | - Christopher Hyatt | -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

I had this problem under Ultrix 3.1, also, so don't feel left out :-) Marc
