As I just said, there is no mmap at all, period, on Berkeley VAX VM UNIX. There are numbers reserved in the kernel's syscall table unfortunately for mmap and friends, and I can't take them out without breaking the ABI, but this shouldn't confuse autoconf or anything because there isn't and has never been any mmap() in libc or any other libraries. -- Michael Sokolov Harhan Engineering Laboratory Public Service Agent International Free Computing Task Force International Engineering and Science Task Force 615 N GOOD LATIMER EXPY STE #4 DALLAS TX 75204-5852 USA Phone: +1-214-824-7693 (Harhan Eng Lab office) E-mail: msokolov AT ivan DOT Harhan DOT ORG (ARPA TCP/SMTP) (UUCP coming soon) P.S.
