Subject: How and where should I install NLS message catalogs?
Date: Sat, 19 Dec 1992 20:37:42 GMT
Organization: Swedish Institute of Space Physics, Uppsala, Sweden

I want to install NLS message catalogs for elm2.4 on my HP9000/720,
using the HP-UX NLS routines.  Earlier, some of the message files
supplied with elm2.4 did not work together with the HP-UX 'gencat'.  In
elm2.4 PL17 this has been fixed.  Now, the problem is how I can tell
elm2.4 PL17 that I keep my ISO-8859.1 Swedish .cat files in the HP-UX
standard NLS directory /usr/lib/nls/swedish/iso88591.  Another problem
is what I should call them.  For instance, 'error.cat' doesn't seem like
a good name for the elm error message catalog.

Bo

PS. Since NLS was once invented by HP and later turned into a Posix standard
I would like to keep it as much HP-ish/standard as possible.

Hi,

I compiled elm succesfully on a RS6000. BUt when I tried running it I got
the message "Can't open lock file need write permission on /usr/spool/mail"

I am not the super user and my permissions on my mail file are set to

-rw-rw----

I am not sure whetherI can be granted write permission on this file or not.
I was just wondering whether there is any other way to fix this.

With the assistance of a more-knowledgeable friend and a copy of the
elm documentation, I've set up a number of filter rules to save
incoming mail to appropriate folders.  This is an excerpt from my
~/.elm/filter-rules file, generated by filter -r:

Rule 1:  if (from = "MAC-L") then
          Save /acs/top/3/dnmiller/Mail/macintosh

Rule 2:  if (from = "Baltic") then
          Save /acs/top/3/dnmiller/Mail/balt-l

Rule 17:  if (from = "hungary") then
          Save acs/top/3/dnmiller/Mail/hungary

Rule 19:  if (from = "perform-l") then
          Save acs/top/3/dnmiller/Mail/perform-l

Rules 1 and 2 work fine, but rules 17 and 19 do not. Mail is left in
the general queue, and ~/.elm/filterlog reports the following:

Mail from perform-l@ACFcluster.NYU.EDU about live and live again
 by rule #19

Mail from MAC-L%YALEVM.BITNET@OHSTVMA.ACS.OHIO-STATE.EDU about Re: Prodigy
        SAVED in file "/acs/top/3/dnmiller/Mail/macintosh" by rule #1

Mail from Baltic about BALT:3076 News 9 December (as from RFE/RL)
        SAVED in file "/acs/top/3/dnmiller/Mail/balt-l" by rule #2

Mail from HUNGARY%UCSBVM.BITNET@OHSTVMA.ACS.OHIO-STATE.EDU
        about Re: Criteria of Meaning (was: Jewish Issues and Mora
 by rule #17

Can some wise soul tell me what is happening here? Why do rules 1 and 2
work? Rules 17 and 19 seem somehow to be recognized by elm, but not acted
upon.

I'm hoping to leave on vacation before long, have plenty of disk storage
space so would prefer not to set nomail or otherwise stop the flow of
messages, but shudder to think what the local system administrator would
do with a week's worth of accumulated, unread mail.

Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

This could be due to one of two problems, 2.3 didn't like nulls in the
mailbox, or 2.3's locking methods don't agree with the locking methods in
use by your MTA at that site.  I'd suggest upgrading to 2.4 and setting
all the relevant locking methods.  (2.4 tolerates nulls in the box and
uses multiple locking schemes)

With 2.3 and a NFS mounted spool that expects lockf/fcntl locking yup, upgrade
to 2.4.

elm pipes the letter to more and more can't compute the percentage when
the input is from a pipe, because it doesn't know the size until it's
reached the end.  I use less for viewing my mail; less also can't compute
the percentage, but I've modified the less display to at least show me
what line number I'm on.  If I check out the total number of lines before
viewing the letter, this gives a mental estimate of the percentage.

run a real compiler :-)

I suggest you bag the limited origianl C compiler and see if you
can find one that can allow a large number of defines.  

I don't think gcc has a 3b2 port, so you might be stuck.

The 'fullname' line in my elmrc file is resolutely ignored, but I got

Subject: relative pathnames for temporary directory
Organization: Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA 91711
Date: Mon, 4 Jan 1993 04:45:44 GMT

I am attempting to get elm working on our group of sun workstations.  We
already have elm installed on our central machine (a sequent symmetry
running dynix) and currently all mail is handled through that machine.  I
was wanting to get elm on the sun machines so that mail could be read from
machines other than the central one.  

However, the problem I have run into is the location of the temporary
directory for the different machines.  Normally we use /tmp/elm, however
when reading the incoming mail folder (SPOOL), the temporary mailbox
(mbox.username) is put in /tmp/elm.  Elm will allow this mailbox to be
accessed simultaniously from two different machines because the temporary
box is located on two entirely different machines.  (The users home
directory, however, is NFS mounted from the central machines to the
workstations.)  After one of the sessions is quit and the mailbox
overwritten, the other panics and exits when attempting to see if new mail
has arrived.

The solution I've been working on is to make the individual's own directory
the temporary directory, or possibly their .elm directory.  However, I have
not figured out how to specify a pathname relative to the home directory.
(~/ does not seem to work, and gives a message that it cannot create the
temporary mailbox, even if the home directory is world writable.)  Any
suggestions of how to do this would be appreciated.

Indeed it does.  Starting with gcc 2.2.2 there was 3B2 support built in.
It's somewhat tricky but it can be built.  I have 2.2.2 running.  Something
unfortunately broke when gcc went to 2.3.1.  I haven't been able to get
that version up yet.  In any event, all you need is the gcc cpp for that
one file, everything else works on the stock cc.  A 3B2 binary for the gcc
cpp (cppp) is available for anonymous ftp from:

nmrdc1.nmrdc.nnmc.navy.mil:/pub/3B2/gcc/cppp

Argh :-( I got the first file with "2.4" and "17" from a neighbour
uucp site I saw...

>Please start over with a more proper version.

I did it. (Now real 2.4 PL17...) Here is the story (ISC 3.0):
At first I was happy, I used "-lc_s -linet -lnls" and all seemed
to work. As for the problem with TIOCGWINSZ in 2.4dev: using of <termio.h>
was prepared.

All the trouble started when the compiler didn't found setlocale().
This symbol is only in libcposix.a and hence I added -lcposix to
the libraries. I re-ran the Configure script - maybe a bad idea -
and the script found also the posix signal functions (I noticed that
later) and I had that <termios.h> again. Ok, I changed that in config.sh
back to <termio.h> and typed 'make' again... and got a parser error in
editmsg.c. Problem: since I had now "POSIX_SIGNALS" defined JMP_BUF was
set to "sigjmp_buf". This type is defined in <setjmp.h> but only
for _POSIX_SOURCE (and _XOPEN_SOURCE I should mention) and I didn't set
this. Ok, now I used "gcc -posix -fpcc...".

Bad... Now "S_IF*" defines were undeclared at first in can_access.c.
Problem: <sys/stat.h> defines these as "S_IS*" for _POSIX_SOURCE. Ok,
I looked around and found that "_XOPEN_SOURCE" would be better... Now
"gcc -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -fpcc...". Re-ran Configure script... (Not to
forget changing <termios.h> to <termio.h>.)

No luck. Neither I_TIME nor I_SYSTIME were defined and the compiler
complained about a incomplete type at first in getarpdate.c. I looked
around and found that having not "__STDC__" would be better. Now
"gcc -traditional -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -fpcc...". A lot of warnings about
conflicting types for built-in function `strlen' but I ignored that and...

Errors... Some symbols (setchrclass, signal, sighold, etc.) which
are in libc_s.a as well as in libcposix.a are also used in some objects
of -lcposix elm needed and since I used "-lc_s -lcposix ..." they
were multiply defined.

Ok, to shorten it now (I played around with extracting these objects from
libcposix.a) I ended up with using -lcposix alone since I thought
that using posix signal stuff is better.
But without shared C library elm binary is ~80k bigger (after stripping
and applying mcs -d.)

Summary for ISC 3.0:
 1. gcc -traditional -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -fpcc-struct-return
 2. -linet -lcposix -lnls
 3. changing to <termio.h> in config.sh by hand (d_termio='define'/
    d_termios='undef')

It seems to work but I didn't check all yet.

Maybe there is a better way. E.g. don't using posix signal stuff and extracting
only setlocale.o from the libcposix.a)
But I think I'll go to bed now.

I have been trying to set up my filter rules to save a message and forward a
copy to me if the subject contains the string EHDF in it.  Here is the rule
that I set up to do this:

if (subject = "EHDF") then savecopy "/home/yin/pde/mbox/%s"

This should save it to the directory /home/yin/pde/mbox and it does, but it
does not save the file with the exact subject, it puts quotes around the
subject.  For example, if the subject were EHDF99.DAT then it would save
the file as "EHDF99.DAT".  I tries several variations of the above rule with
and without quotes around things, but it always put quotes around the filename.
Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks.

Hello netlanders,

I recently obtained elm2.4PL17, but it fails to make on my HP9000/832 running

The make went fine on my HP9000/360 also running HP-UX 8.0 (elm2.4PL8, no time
to install PL17 yet).

Below is the last part of the make:

Does anyone have a clue to what could be wrong?

Yes, you understood correctly the problem but the answer is very wrong!
If I do what you say then I run into an infinitte loop, since machineA 
will send a copy to B and B itself to A again! Meaning that just one
copy of the mail if going to be bouncing back and forth between the two 
machines. I just one ONE copy in each machine.

If you want to know why I want this, is because sometines I can't connect
to Machine A but I can to machine B (busy lines, server busy, etc) and
if I have a copy of my mail in both machines I will have more possibilities
of reading it.

You have told (or the sysadmin told) Elm that the pager to use is
/usr/local/bin/less.  Thus elm is trying to use it.

Do you have a PAGER environment variable?
Do you have an $(LIBDIR)/elm.rc file with pager = /usr/local/bin/less
Do you have a ~/.elm/elmrc file with pager = /usr/local/bin/less

Its only doing what someone asked it to do :-)

this is a two year out of date development version that bears
little resemblence to 2.4PL17 except for the fact that its
17 patches from a base file.

Please start over with a more proper version.
