I am attempting to bring AKCL version 1.82 up on a 3/280 running
SunOS4.0.1 and have run across two problems. The first problem involved an
apparent failure cc: during the as phase of the compilation of
cmptops.lsp, a long series of multiply defined symbols was encountered.
This problem was circumvented by porting gcc and using it instead of the
Sun cc compiler. The second problem I have not yet gotten around: after
having "successfully" produced a saved_kcl (ie., no errors in any of the
compilations or the make), it will not run either interactively or in
compile mode. In particular, it produces the error message:

Unrecoverable error: Someone allocated my memory!
Abort (core dumped)

in all circumstances. The core dump indicates that the failure occured in
alloc. I tried superseding the value of MAXPAGE, reducing it to less than
half the actual swap space on the 3/280 (Swap space 32Mbytes, MAXPAGE
12000) with no effect.

Has anybody successfully ported AKCL under Sun4.0.X? If so, I would
appreciate hearing about your experiences, and in particular i) if you
have run across these problems, ii) if so, how you worked around them, and
iii) if not, where you got your source, and what version you are using.
After the 3/280 port, I need to do a 4/110 port; consequently, any
comments on porting to a Sparc machine would also be appreciated.

Please reply to u8vy@cornellf.tn.cornell.edu.

Thanks in advance
