Hi David, I use perl4 (GNU FSFperl package) on Solaris 2.4 and I have changed all the SOCK_STREAM's, but what's about the flock() function?? This function is available only on SunOS and BSD-style machines. At this moment, I am trying to emulate this function whith calls to fcntl(). Also, I have try to compile Perl4 whit /usr/ucblib/libucb but this an impossible task. I have read in the Perl4 FAQ's that it is better to forget about BSDism's like that :-(. If anyone know more about this matter, I will be happy to hear him. Regards, Jose Sanchez-Seco. On Oct 12, 18:12, RIPE Database Manager wrote:

Hi Tony,
If you use perl4 and change the SOCK_STREAM variable to 2 instead of 1 it should work. This value is used and hardcoded more then once in the code. In the next distribution this will be handled from the Makefile but that doesn't help you now ...
Kind regards,

All the experts here agree that perl4 on Solaris2.* is a no-no. So I haven't tried. Running rip-db under perl 5 seems to give strange db results, like it doesn't update anything...Still investigating, I think we will try and so what it does on linux :-) ____ / \/ /<>/\// Tony Barber Phone : +44(0)1223 250122 Technical Support Email : support@pipex.net

The perl5 port is in the works but has low priority. Rumor has it that David Kessens sometimes develops at home under linux. Daniel
