I'm weak at using UNIX, so I may be missing a lot here. In the 1.8e Installation guide for UNIX, it mentions >If you have decided to link the lsv.o file and make your own lsv binary, >there should be no need to modify anything in the Makefile to perform this >step. Just enter, "make server" to build the server program. The resulting >binary will be named "lsv". However, an up-to-date lsv module is already supplied, so nothing happens. Since I wanted my our libraries linked, I did the following command, which is discussed under data base support. (We don't use any DBMS.) mv lsv lsv.lsoft cc -o lsv lsv.o no*.o Does this make sense? -- BE ALERT!!!! (The world needs more lerts ...)
