I attempted to install RCS 5.5 on my DECStation 5000, Ultrix 4.0 system.
With one tweek to conf.h I was able to install it. I had to define 'fopen',
'fwrite', etc. to get the make to complete.

After installation, I did 'make installtest' with the following results:

sh rcstest -v
+ test -d RCS
R=
+ rm -f a.11 a.1111 a.12 a.c,v
+ echo 1.1
+ echo 1.1.1.1
+ echo 1.2
+ rm -f a.c a.c,v
+ rcs -i -L -ta.11 a.c
rcs error: a.c,v isn't a regular file -- ignored
Fixed up unaligned data access for pid 16969 (rcs) at pc 0x40b600
rcs error: input/output error; is the file system full?
rcs aborted
+ echo #rcs -i -L failed
#rcs -i -L failed
+ exit 1
*** Error code 1


I am using GNUDIFF version 1.15 and did not install rcs with setgid or setuid.

Any ideas ??
