I don't have it, or need it but telling :the C News build program that didn't seem to work. My solution may seem :a little silly but it works and that is the main thing. I 'touched' a :file called ranlib and made it executable. Now ranlib with any arguments :does nothing and returns a successful status. C News compiled fine after :that. I also had problems with this. It seems like "ranlib" is hardcoded into some Makefiles. Editing those files using vi (ie, removing the ranlib'ing) made C news compile as it should. Oh yes, this was on a Multimax from Encore Computer, running UMAX V. -- Robert Claeson |Reasonable mailers: rclaeson@erbe.se ERBE DATA AB | Dumb mailers: rclaeson%erbe.se@sunet.se | Perverse mailers: rclaeson%erbe.se@encore.com These opinions reflect my personal views and not those of my employer.
