Dear Grass users;
Dear Mr. David Baumgartner;
Dear Mr. David J. Icove;
I am trying to run xgrass on the SILICON GRAPHICS INDIGO OS 4.0.1, i think i'm
at the end although i need help to find a reference to "DoHotWord" (error3). I
coud'nt find the ucb libraries on the Indigo(see README FILE), although after
contacting the SGI
people they direct me to libPW.a and libbsd.a. which resolved the regcmp
and regex (error2). Also , they advice me to use the -cckr flage for compilation which resolved alot of ansi error messages either for xgrass or for compiling
grass4.0(which i already compiled it successfuly).
Attached is the readme file and the error messages(1,2 & 3) concerning the
"msl lib" for ucb, which gives the compilation steps.
thanks for your help.
my e-mail address is; aa511704@longs.lance.colostate.edu

README.SVR4
***************************************
When building for SVR4:
1. Make sure your are compiling with the /usr/lib and /usr/bin/cc
stuff. In other words, make sure that /usr/ucb is after /usr/bin
and /usr/sbin in your path. The typical way to compile using the
ucb libraries and includes is to place /usr/ucb first in your
path. Make sure you don't do this. On some machines, /usr/ucb/cc
is called /usr/ucb/cc-bsd, but don't use that one either. If you
compile somehow using /usr/ucb/cc[-bsd], then the compile phase
will probably choke on the Berkeley include files. Verify which
C compiler you are using by typing
/usr/ucb/which cc
you should not see
/usr/ucb/cc
2. When Setup asks for a machine type, enter svr4.
3. When Setup asks for any additional libraries, type
-lnsl /usr/ucblib/libucb.a
The nsl lib is needed for network support for X. If you forget it,
you will get lots of link errors about missing routines, such as
t_alloc.
The libucb entry is needed because the Motif library uses the BSD
regex routines, which are found only in the ucb library. If you
forget this, the link phase will complain about the absence of
re_comp and re_exec.
4. If you get a lot of warnings during compile, don't worry too much
about them. The ANSI C compiler for SVR4 complains a lot.
