        Please log this into axp-developer and resolve.  Keep Aaron, Johnt and
 JeffK in on the loop.

        Thanks

        Mike

p.s.  Note that they are trying to install dec c++ 5.1.  I would contact them
      and see what version of dunix they are installing it on.  Then I would
      check to see that the prerequisite libraries are installed on their
      system: CXXSHRDAnnn, CXXBASEAnnn, and CXXHRDAnnn.  Sounds like the
      prerequisite c++ libs are either corrupted or not installed.

	#1 24-FEB-1997 13:47:16.84 MAIL From: HYDRA::AXPDEVELOPER "[email protected]" To: US6RMC::"[email protected]" CC: AXPDEVELOPER Subj: C++ compiler problem on Digital UNIX Janet, Your e-mail requesting help with DEC C++ compiler problems on Digital UNIX was forwarded to our group, Software Partner Engineering. Would you please send the following information to help us diagnose the problem: 1) the output from the command "setld -i \| grep CXX" 2) the output from "uname -a" Please send this info to [email protected]. Also, please note that the current version of the DEC C++ compiler is v5.5. This can be found on the Digital UNIX Software Product Library, January 1997. You may want to try using the latest version of the compiler. We can supply this to you if you need a copy. Karen Dorhamer Alpha Developer Support

	#11 26-FEB-1997 11:27:45.28 1997-02 From: HYDRA::AXPDEVELOPER "[email protected]" To: US6RMC::"[email protected]" CC: AXPDEVELOPER Subj: think we've found the problem Janet, I think we've found the problem with the C++ compiler. There is a known problem with the v5.1-1 compiler on EV5 systems. This is fixed in the v5.1-6 compiler. I'm getting a copy of this now for testing. Can you please confirm that you have the v5.1-1 compiler? Thanks, Karen Dorhamer Alpha Developer Support p.s. the attached note is from C++ engineering. Subj: RE: IVP fails for v5.1 on Digital UNIX v4.0A What version of V5.1 are you using? See C_PLUS_PLUS 2663.14 Title: V5.1-6 update kit available A V5.1 update kit is available that corrects a problem that occurred on some EV5 systems. The problem caused the compiler to crash when compiling many programs, including the installation verification program that is compiled when you use setld -v. The crash resulted in the following message: 11, fatal: A bugcheck occurred in the compiler. The compiler ident for this updated compiler is V5.1-6. The kit is also available via the Digital Intranet at http://www.zk3.dec.com/decc/decc-kitinfo.html Let me know if this works for you. -Jeff

3229.9	how to check the compiler version	HYDRA::DORHAMER	`Wed Feb 26 1997 12:55`	19
	From: HYDRA::AXPDEVELOPER "[email protected]" To: US6RMC::"[email protected]" CC: AXPDEVELOPER Subj: Re: think we've found the problem Janet, To get the compiler version, try cxx -V or cxx -source_listing. The -source_listing switch will create a .lis file and the first line will contain the compiler version. Not sure if either of these will work on your system, given the current state of the compiler, but give it a try. Fortunately I have an EV4 system where the compiler isn't broken, so I was able to get the version number there. My EV5 system is down right now, but I hope to have it working after lunch and will try out the new compiler - the engineering folks are pretty sure that this will fix the problem. Karen

3229.11	recommend upgrading the compiler and OS	HYDRA::DORHAMER	`Wed Feb 26 1997 13:03`	25
	#9 26-FEB-1997 13:01:21.01 NEWMAIL From: HYDRA::AXPDEVELOPER "[email protected]" To: US6RMC::"[email protected]" CC: AXPDEVELOPER Subj: info on compiler and OS version Janet, While the V5.1-6 compiler is expected to fix the problem, the compiler group does strongly recommend upgrading to the v5.5 compiler if at all possible. Here are the reasons they gave: "There are some advantages to going to V5.5. One is obviously that it's the supported compiler. Another is that it uses the GEM optimizing backend. We've seen better performance and smaller object size with the new compiler. I might think those would be of interest to SDRC." Also, if you are using Open3D v4.2, then you probably should upgrade the operating system to Digital UNIX v4.0A or v4.0B. My understanding is that Open3D v4.2 is supported on Digital UNIX v4.0A and above. You can confirm this with George Chaltas. Karen
3229.12	new compiler works	HYDRA::DORHAMER	`Wed Feb 26 1997 13:29`	16

What is the best way to get a kit to you? I can send you a 4 mm dat tape or possibly try to ftp it to you if you have a public ftp site. Please send me your address if you'd like me to mail a tape to you. Karen
