Subject: xdvik-18e
I've just built this on an SGI Indy, and it seems better than previous
releases. I have two problems, though:
1. On our Sun Sparcs, the configure/make commands choose `cc'
over `gcc' when both are in my path. I'd prefer the use of
gcc on this machine, yet `make CC=gcc' has no effect - so I've
had to edit make/common.make to set `CC=gcc'. This is not suitable
for the Indys, though, where the SGI `cc' is preferred. How can
I make the compiler choice system-dependent?
2. PostScript emitted by e.g. the LaTeX2e `rotating' package (which
emits `ps:' specials) is displayed in an incorrect position (too
high up, and shifted a little to the right in one example, if that
helps - I havn't set enough figures to be able to describe the
systematic behaviour.) dvips gets the position correct. I suppose
that the PostScript reference frame is not established correctly by
xdvi. I can provide an example .dvi file if this will help.
