You must do that yourself, report the result in<BR />the HPUX_IPC_S_PATCH environment variable, then repeat the<BR />Configure step. Consult the Configure script's use of<BR />/usr/contrib/bin/q4 and the 00XCONFIG file for information<BR />on ipis_s testing and the setting of HPUX_IPC_S_PATCH.<BR />!!!ERROR!!! !!!ERROR!!!<BR /><BR />I have looked for documentation on what the ipis_s structure is, but I can't find anything helpful. Can anyone give me any ideas on what I need to do to get lsof working? If I can't query the kernel the way they want me to I can set the environment variable manually. I just don't know what to set it to because I'm not sure what the ipis_s structure is.
