Could somebody explain how to get ELM2.4-PL21 working under NetBSD?? I ran configure, which bombed at 1688 in the CPP options section. So I commented that out since I didn't really need any and configure ran ok. lib/opt_utils.c had a tolower() and toupper() that conflicted with the gcc clib, but did the same thing, so I deleted the one in opt_utils.c. Commenting out POSIX_SIGNALS (sp?) and HASPROCSIGMASK (sp?) allowed me to compile it ok. It seems to work, reads mail fine, says it's sending it, but all the messages it sends are empty. I ran it with "-D 5" and it looks like it is getting an errno=2 on a "stat" of the vi tmp file "/tmp.snd.xxx" but tmp is 777 and elm is setgid! If anyone has any great ideas and can explain what to do, or where to get a working elm, I would be very appreciative! (and yes, I do feel stupid, cause this feels like it should be obvious) -Andrew -- ====================================================== Greg Gillham gillhamg@andrews.edu Andrews University ...!aucis!gillhamg Berrien Springs, MI 49103 USA
