Friedman) Subject: HELP: compiling xarchie under netbsd 1.1 X-Nntp-Posting-Host: spam.cs.ohiou.edu Message-ID: <BFRIEDMA.96May13192355@spam.oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu> Lines: 28 Sender: postmaster@spam.cs.ohiou.edu X-Nntp-Posting-Date: Mon May 13 19:23:55 1996 Organization: Ohio University Mathematics Department Date: Mon, 13 May 1996 23:23:55 GMT When I try to compile xarchie.2.0.10 under NetBSD 1.1 using gcc 2.4.5 I'm getting the following error message (on the loading stage I mean): RegExp.o: Undefined symbol `_compile' referenced from text segment RegExp.o: Undefined symbol `_advance' referenced from text segment Obviously this .o file comes from one of the standard libraries that are appended to the list of obj files for the loader by Makefile. There is a bunch of them though, and I don't know which one uses RegExp.o, the less so where those symbols are defined. The "Problems" file suggests a solution of a similar problem under Solaris 2.2 by loading this stuff with smth. like libgen.a which is the library of regular expressions under Solaris. I don't have anything remotely similar to this library. I grepped on anything I could assume related to these symbols, and couldn't find any suitable library. Does there exist a library of regular expressions under NetBSD? The way my advisor usually suggests to solve problems like that, is to write two void functions compile() and advance(), load and wait until the program complains and gives some hints what's wrong:-) I'll probably do that, but I hoped someone can help me to do this right. I thought, before I bug the author, I'd try to get some information from NetBSD experts or someone who had this problem before. Any help in this area will be appreciated. I really want to have xarchie, because I ftp a lot, and I like that interface to archie. Boris.
