yacc problems on HP-UX 11

[Geoff Hartnell]

As part of an Apache installation, the flex build section fails when byacc is invoked. byacc was obtained from
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/cgi-bin/search and installed using swinstall
flex was obtained from
http://www.gnu.org/software/flex/flex.html

Does anyone know why byacc fails (creates a core)

$ make clean
rm -f a.out *.bak core errs scan.tmp
rm -f flex parse.c parse.h *.o alloca.c *.lint lex.yy.c lex.yy.cc libfl.a config.log config.cache
$ make

Geoff,

Are you using gnu's binutil's (as, and ld)?

Hi


Still waiting on

file core

Also make sure your patches are upto date

Hi


I am fairly sure that a 138 is a sigbus

Example

'file CORE'
CORE: core file from 'icd' - received SIGBUS


If this is so there is a problem in the byacc.

Make sure you have the latest patches.

Geoff,

can you post your kernel parameters? the version of gcc? the version of your OS, and when the last patch bundle was applied?

Guys - thanks for replies, I got diverted and have only just got back - I'll answer what I can:

1) output of file core:$ file core
core: core file from 'byacc' - received SIGBUS

the byacc was obtained from
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/cgi-bin/search
and installed using swinstall - the only warning was that could not link /bin to /usr/bin as the link already existed, so assumed this was not a problem.


2) Are you using gnu's binutil's (as, and ld)?
- not sure what this means. I'm trying to install Apache, which needs flex, which needs byacc. I've invoked configure with various options and then make in the Apache install directory, but the flex build crashes with termination signal 138 when invoking byacc


3) Also make sure your patches are upto date
- how can I tell if my pathces are up to date ?



4) can you post your kernel parameters? the version of gcc? the version of your OS, and when the last patch bundle was applied?
- how do I report my kernal parameters

gcc
$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/hppa1.1-hp-hpux11.00/2.9-hppa-991112/specs
gcc version 2.9-hppa-991112

OS
$ uname -a
HP-UX wpsc02 B.11.00 U 9000/800 105911507 unlimited-user license

- how can I tell when the last patch bundle was applied.

BTW - I am just a standard user, not a sys admin, so should it be possible for me to install Apache (needs flex (needs byacc)) without having root password

Thanks

Geoff

Hi

problem 1 all software should be on configured

# CIFS-Client HP CIFS/9000 Client A.01.02
CIFS-Client.CIFSCLIENT-RUN Run-time programs and libraries for CIFS/9000 Client for 64-bit systems A.01.02 corrupt
# CIFS-Client HP CIFS/9000 Client A.01.06
CIFS-Client.CIFSCLIENT-RUN Run-time programs and libraries for CIFS/9000 Client for 64-bit systems A.01.06 corrupt
# CIFS-Development CIFS/9000 server source code files A.01.02

Your CIFS runtime is on corrupt and needs reinstalling.

Problem 2. Patch level.

Ensure that all of these patches are on your machine.You can download the ones you need from itrc


PHCO_23651
PHCO_23873
PHCO_23963
PHCO_25707
PHKL_22589
PHKL_22677

PHKL_24027
PHSS_24301
PHSS_24303


try again.


Normally if sigbus is found in a 3rd party program we cannot help very much.

Steve, Harry

Problem is almost sorted for the moment - I had the wrong options in a script for configure. Once I had resolved that, then Apache builds. Thanks for your help so far.


BUT................
I need to build Apache with SSL support; I have built open-ssl and set the path to ssl in the Apache configure script. However, the Apache configure script reports:
Error: Cannot find SSL binaries under /omg/apache22/openssl-engine-0.9.6c/ssl
+ SSL interface plugin: Configured DBM (-ldbm)

I think it's best to close this dialogue - I'll open another one for building SSL support


Thanks

Geoff
