I don't even know where to begin to describe the problem.  I asked about
this once, but got no response.

Compiling our software on a 320, it won't run on a 540.

I don't know what OS level I have, since there seems to be no way to
find out.  It's 3.2.something.

I have 3.2.2 tapes from IBM (three of them).  How can I be sure I'm at
3.2.2 ?  There are 605 patches on those tapes.  Do they have any relevance
at all to the OS revision ?  I read the PTF thread and agree that AIX
updates are sheer hell.  I did install a bunch of PTF's from the tapes,
but I have no idea if they helped anything at all, and the problem
certainly didn't go away.

The software is statically linked.  Should I be doing this ?  Are non-static
links safer ?

The software is X/Motif based.

Any help appreciated.  So far NO ONE has a clue about what this problem is.

I wasn't present-at-the-creation, but I can answer the question.  The
predecessor to the '6000 was the IBM RT, a RISC system dating from 1987.
"R2" was used as a code for "RT followon".

That's good news about _AIX32 (is it in /etc/xlc.cfg?).  Now I have to

I realize that the system can be ordered preloaded and the images

That's because the XStations' server doesn't have the DPS extension -- only
the server for natively attached graphics adapters does.
Besides working on XStations, GhostView has a much nicer user interface, too.
"dpsexec" was only intended as a PostScript debugger -- to answer the question

There are many header files that simply don't work unless _ALL_SOURCE is
defined.  The usual problem is using a type or macro unconditionally when
the typedef (likely in <sys/types.h>) or macro definition is conditional on
_ALL_SOURCE (I think "ulong" or "u_long" is a common problem).

Setting MALLOCTYPE isn't related to the problems being discussed in this thread.
Here the issue is AIX's policy of not actually allocating malloc'ed storage
until it is touched and this basic policy is part of both 3.1 and 3.2 AIX.

Organization: University of New Brunswick

I have installed several dataless 220's with AIX 3.2.2.  When issuing
a
     shutdown -F
on the dataless machines, the machines appear to hang before getting
the halt completed.  The problem would appear that the network interfaces
are brought down (lo0 and en0) then a message appears that the tcpip
lock files will be removed, then a message that the nfs server is not
responding.

If indeed the lock files are removed after the network interfaces are
brought down, and these being dataless clients the lock files are
on the server, this would indeed pose a problem.

Known problem?  Known fix?

A call was made to IBM on Friday, but I am working the weekend in hopes
of getting a lab ready.

Add the 2Gb disk to the same volume group as the 857's. Then use the migratepv
command to move the partitions to your big disk. Logical volumes and filesystems
will be preserved (unless you have some logical volumes on that disk already
whose names overlap those on the 857's. Don't do that.)

I've done this and don't remember any problems, except when I hit a ctrl-C while

Hi, 

Maybe someone can answer this question.  According to "Hardware Technical
Reference - General Information" (SA23-2643-01) the two internal serial ports
of a RS6000 can be set to baud rates higher than 38400.

I found no way to convice the system to do so.  SMIT and chdev give an error
message relating to "/etc/methods/chgtty".

Since I'm getting an Ethernet card soon this is not REAL critical but it
annoys me that hardware can not be used to its full potential.

Has anyone looked into this?

(My system is RS6000 model 320H running AIX 3.1.6)

monotonously while viewing a multipage Postscript document using
several fonts. The X-server size will never shrink afterwards. The
next run of Ghostscript on some document will increase the X-server
size further...

The problem is not with Ghostsript running on RS/6000 as it occurs as
well when Ghostscript is running on another (non-RS/6000) machine, but
displaying on an RS/6000 X-server. (I am not sure about the other way
round.)

If anybody has a solution to this problem, I would be very interested.

Originator: hardiman@csd4.csd.uwm.edu

I'm trying to get a Televideo Personal Terminal to operate with AIX
on an RS/6000 in order to use TN3270 for access to an IBM mainframe.
This terminal sends a x'0A' (CTRL-J) when the cursor down key is
pressed.  It seems that AIX insists on handling this key code as
a line feed.  The result is that the cursor down key works just as
the ENTER key, giving 2 ENTER keys under TN3270 and no cursor down
key.  I've tried modifying the tvipt.ti file and the 3270keys file
to force AIX to interpret a different key code as an ENTER key.
The result is that both the cursor down key and the ENTER key
work as cursor down keys, giving 2 cursor down keys but no ENTER
key.

My background is in IBM mainframe systems, and I have little
familiarity with Unix.  Has anyone managed to resolve this type
of problem successfully?  Is there a simple trick that I'm
missing?

Thanks for any insight you can offer.

This is done by reading the 3rd tape file, the toc. This may or may not
accurately represent what follows on the rest of the tape :-)
I have come across tapes where every file from the 4th (ie the 1st product
file) was followed by *two* tape marks. This made tcopy think there were
only 4 files on the tape, & installing crapped out badly, except for the
1st, because the install process relies on the info in the toc. So instead
of the product files being file no's 4,5,6... they were really 4,6,8... with
zero-length ones in between. The solution was to read them off with dd, run
bffcreate to produce install images in /usr/lpp.install, and install from
those.

I'm guessing here, we're not likely to see a 3.2.2 tape before Xmas in this
part of the world :-(  Is the 3.2.2 an installation tape? I was under the
impression that it's just updates (fixes), in which case it's not bootable.
You would have to boot from & install 3.2.0, then update to 3.2.2

There is a special X server extension to make the VGA somewhat faster.

There is some bizarre sequence you can type, like "<ESC>pcsim", but my

This is because the shared memory segments between the X server and the
PCSIM process are left behind.  Killing the X server *might* clean
these up.  (I haven't tried it.)

  You need the assembler patch.

From ./gcc-2.2.2/README.RS6000:

    ... Then call IBM Support
    at 800-237-5511.  Ask for emergency shipment of the rs6000 AIX fix for
    APAR IX22829.  They may ask you to verify that it's a fix for ".extern
    foo conflicts with defining foo"; say yes.

    ... If you tell them you're running AIX version 3.2, you may be told that
    no fix is available yet.  In fact the 3.15 fix works fine on version
    3.2.  Talk them into shipping it to you anyway.


    Cheers,
