I've run into a few problems with the andrew distribution kit, Beta
Release 9/22/89, patch level 4, 10/17/89.  I'm running on a
SPARCstation-1 with SunOS 4.0.3c, MIT X11R3, NFS, and no AFS.  Any
help with these would be appreciated.

-----
First, I tried to build andrew-beta without the DNS resolver by
placing the following in site.h:

#undef RESOLVER_ENV

Link of "nametimeg" failed because it attempts to use resolver anyway:

cc -g -I/usr/andrew/include/atk -I/usr/andrew/include -I//usr/include/X11   -o nametimeg  nmtimeg.o 
ld: Undefined symbol 
   _dn_expand 
   _putlong 
   _dn_comp 
   _putshort 
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `nametimeg'
Current working directory /nih/unix/sun4_401/usr/local/bin/andrew-beta/overhead/snap2/nametime

I fixed this by building to use /usr/lib/libresolv.a.  Need following
in config/site.mcr:

        XUTILDIR = /usr/local/bin
	RESOLVLIB = /usr/lib/libresolv.a

-----
One of the more annoying and mysterious problems is that 'sh' fails on
the 'install.time' target in some of the atk subdirectories, for
example:

+ rm -f /usr/andrew/dlib/atk/frame.do 
+ pwd 
sh: 15522 Memory fault - core dumped
*** Error code 139
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install.time'
Current working directory /nih/unix/sun4_401/usr/local/bin/andrew-beta/atk/frame
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `dependInstall'
Current working directory /nih/unix/sun4_401/usr/local/bin/andrew-beta/atk/frame
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `dependInstall'
Current working directory /nih/unix/sun4_401/usr/local/bin/andrew-beta/atk
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `dependInstall'
Current working directory /nih/unix/sun4_401/usr/local/bin/andrew-beta
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `World'

However, if I "cd" into the directory where the failure occurred and
do "make Install" manually, it succeeds, and then I can restart the
build manually.  Anyone else seen this behaviour?

-----
After completing the build and install, typescript, console, ez, and
the messages demo seem to work fairly well, but "help" types out its
version number and hangs without bringing up a window.

Thanks in advance.
