This exists in both SVR and > BSD. This still doesn't say how to make it work. I am now in the process of attempting to methodically track down and fix the *APPARENT* problems. First of all, before I can do anything else, I have to get the code to compile and link. The obvious way to get a program that wants a BSD library routine to link is to point it at the UCB libraries. Given your assertion that this should not be done without saying what *SHOULD* be done, I have now gone in and found that if one moves the code around a little in mrealloc.c then adding #define HAVE_MEMMOVE to config.h will at least get the code to compile and link. Now it appears that nntpcache.c calls getopt after calling something called setproctitle that appears to be trashing the argv array. My next step in a methodological step by step process is to fix this problem and my first inclination is to move the code around in nntpcache.c to process the argv array before calling setproctitle. This trashing of argv is causing a segment violation when getopt is called. I would be perfectly happy, however, to be told exactly what has to be done to get the damn program to work in a Solaris 2.4 environment. I really don't have time to debug someone else's code and this installation is being done on a freenet machine where I am *NOT* being paid for my time. -- O- J.
