Hi, I'm facing an issue which is more-or-less similar to your message posted at http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200008/msg00427.html with subject "configure changes (shared libs)?" I'm trying to compile some c++ files on IRIX 6.5, but compilation gets hang. My compiler is "MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.3.1.3m", And when I do, "ps -ef" I get, biobuild 7599 7345 0 16:03:59 pts/1 0:00 CC -DEFAULT:abi=n32:isa=mips4:proc=r10k -shared -LANG:std -LANG:exceptions=on - biobuild 7675 7599 0 16:05:27 pts/1 0:01 /usr/lib32/cmplrs/ld32 -demangle -elf -_SYSTYPE_SVR4 -shared -init _main -fini and when I do "top" the machine status is this, IRIX64 ts-irixbh3-ban 6.5 IP27 load averages: 0.00 0.00 0.00 17:02:19 57 processes: 56 sleeping, 1 running 4 CPUs: 99.5% idle, 0.0% usr, 0.5% ker, 0.0% wait, 0.0% xbrk, 0.0% intr Memory: 4096M max, 4017M avail, 3574M free, 2024M swap, 2024M free swap PID PGRP USERNAME PRI SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU% CPU% COMMAND 7730 7730 root 20 2240K 1280K run/0 0:00 0.3 0.50 top 7676 261 root 20 1888K 1360K sleep 0:00 0.0 0.04 telnetd 2390 2390 biobuild 20 1840K 1024K sleep 0:02 0.0 0.01 tail 7675 1213 biobuild 20 31M 20M sleep 0:01 0.0 0.01 ld here you can see CPU is 99.5% idle and swap, memory too is free. I was using the same machine and everything was going fine 2 weeks back, but now it hangs and when I restart the machine and do compilation sometimes it is successful. Here again sometimes its get hang at /usr/lib32/cmplrs/be <followed by some flags> [or] /usr/lib32/cmplrs/fecc <followed by some flags> I'm unable to find out the root cause and how to sort this out. It will be highly helpful if you pass your inputs. Thanks, Gopi. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
