[Q] Florist-2.0 on IRIX 6.4

[Q] Florist-2.0 on IRIX 6.4

[John McCabe]

Can anyone help me?

I am trying to build the Florist-2.0 implementation on IRIX 6.4 
(apparently using GNAT Version 3.07).

I used the standard ./configure command, then GNU Make Version 3.73 to 
build it.

It gets as far as running the c-posix-signals program. During this 
program, when it is testing signal 47, the text "*** sigaction: Resource 
temporarily unavailable" is displayed, then "KILLED".

I�ve had a rummage around in the man pages, and found that the error 
mentioned here is EAGAIN. This suggests that it is the fork() call that 
is failing, probably due to the number of processess running, either due 
to the value of NPROC or CHILD_MAX. I can�t find NPROC itself, although 
there are a couple of NPROC_*** system limits set to 2, however CHILD_MAX 
is set to 150.

Has anyone else seen this problem or managed to build Florist on IRIX 
6.4? Would it be worth using the IRIX 6.3 config files in the Configs 
directory rather than using the default configuration files?

Any help wouild be gratefully appreciated.

The place you set things like the total no of processes is stune. At least that
is what it is on my Irix 6.2 at work. Stune is found in /var/sysgen.

From my /var/sysgen/stune file:

rlimit_nofile_cur       = 2000 ll
nproc = 1024
maxup = 200

You can also use "systune -i" to change these parameters.


After changing parameters you should probably run "autoconfig".

I had a problem under Irix 6.2 where timed (or was it timeslave?) kept getting
killed as soon as I started it with an error code of EAGAIN. It turned out to
be a known OS problem that was solved with an OS patch. You may want to check
the SGI developer's web site.
