- To all:
-
- I posted this message a few days ago and got no response. If someone would
- post a reply it would be most appreciated.
-
- I am experiencing some problems getting the standard MIT X11R4 distribution to
- compile with no errors. Could someone offer some help? Here's a synopsis
- of our setup.
-
- Sun 4/600 MP server running SunOs 4.1.2, standard MIT X11R4 distribution. I
- rlogin to this server from my workstation, change to the appropriate directory
- and issue: make World >& make.world
- as instructed in the install docs. This is after making changes to the
- site.def, etc.; and after applying patches 1-18. All patches seemed to apply
- fine with the exception of one patch that was being applied to the IBM server
- code (which I will not be using anyway). Hence I ignored this problem.
-
- After looking at make.world, it has a bunch of errors when compiling the
- client programs. The errors have to do with ld and a bunch of undefined
- symbols mostly with names of Intrinisics functions prepended with an
- underscore. However, some of these same programs seem to run just fine with
- casual observance.
-
- If I automount this same directory tree to my workstation (Sparc 2 running
- SunOS 4.1.1) I can compile the distribution just fine (so it seems, haven't
- checked it out thoroughly, but very few obvious problems).
-
- I think the problem stems from the server having a different processor and
- version of the operating system. Running ldd on the client binaries generated
- on this machine also have one additional shared library linked in: libdl.so.?.?
-
- Does anyone know if this is a noted problem? Does anyone have any suggestions?
-
- Thanks,
- Tom
