In order to get a search engine on my site, I ws going to install Excite's Web Server or somthing like that. My brother had downloaded it once before. Unfortunatly, he downloaded the IBM AIX file, which obviously the computer didn't like. When he tried again, he got the only one that had BSD in the name: BSDI2.0. The file uses an install script, 'sh install-Architext' He tried to install that too, but this time it got a Bus error (core dumped) error. After which it puts two new files in the directory. 'perl' and 'perl.core'. I have talked to a few people on this, and a few idea's have come from them. 1. The IBM install replaced a library. Unfortunatly I don't know which one, which means I need to figure out how to export the verbose mode of the script to a file to find out. 2. The BSDI2.0 file won't work. This leaves another question: Did the installation do anything to the computer that was bad? 3. It is a perl problem. Fix: ?
