Use the mmalloc library instead of any malloc or xmalloc and friends that may have come with the package or is in any other library. This suggestion helped some other poor soul who'd been struggling for 2 or 3 months with allocation problems. - \\||// ---o0O0--Earnie--0O0o---- -earnie_boyd AT hotmail DOT com- ------ooo0O--O0ooo------- >From: "Ron Aaron" >To: "Earnie Boyd" >Subject: RE: b19 configure problems AND mkid/lid problem >Date: Wed, 4 Mar 1998 19:32:46 -0800 > >Earnie, > >Thanks for your help, perhaps I can trouble you for one more piece of >advice? > >I can now compile mkid and lid just fine on B19. > >I run mkid on my sources (on my S: drive) with: > ./mkid /s/pathtosource/ > >which whirs awhile and produces the ID file, as expected.
