Any particular reason you are trying to compile your own version of lsof?

There are precompiled versions of lsof 4.55 for both 10.20 and 11.0 available here:

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/lsof-4.55/

I think you might have better luck with one of these.

I also found it at
ftp://coast.cs.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/sysutils/lsof/

this is something I am going to be working here soon too ..

I also get the similar error while running make install.

The reason I'm running is because I want to create lsof for HP-11 for64bit
One on the http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/lsof-4.55/
is for 32 bit. OS
Where is this bsdinst
The error I get
Make: Cannot load bsdinst. Stop.

I've got a binary for that. Send me an e-mail at chris_calabrese@yahoo.com and I'll send it to you.

bsdinst is included as part of the "imake" package available on the Software and Porting Archive Centre for HP-UX (http://hpux.connect.org.uk/)

Cheers,

hey gang,

if you don't like compiling:
"lsof" is part of the ITO/VPO/OVO agents these days, download the agent for free, and extract it from there: 32bit/64bit/hpux10.20/11.0/11i...

FWIW,
Wodisch
