Well, probably downgrading to autoconf-2.13 and automake-1.4 can help.

Hello, Kir,
It seems there is no problem on our machine with packed structures. I
compiled the test program you sent me and it runs OK. There is a problem
with dynamically loaded module. Can you tell me, are there any limitations
on tool version? I am using autoconf 2.57 and gcc compuler 2.95.3.

The problem is aspseek is using highly-packed structures here and there,
and get the bytes from those structures ("structures" here means not C
struct, but some in-memory region, for example in ULONG (4 bytes) we can
have weight as a first byte, and some other variable in the next 3
bytes). So ASPseek using type conversion here and where, sometimes
leading to unaligned access.
To get the full picture, look into changes I have made in
'aspseek_solaris' CVS branch. For example:
cvs -z9 diff -u -r v_1_2_9 -r aspseek_solaris > sol.diff
(I have forked aspseek_solaris off 1.2.9pre, not 1.2.9, therefore some
changes in diff you will get are irrelevant).

Kir, thank you for the info. Now, is this (int *) to (char *)
assignment confined to some specific place? And is it always
(int *) to (char )? If you can orient me, I can do the code
modification myself.

Hello, all,
Did somebody managed to compile and use ASPseek on a SUN server with
Solaris
9?
As I have already mentioned before, ASPseek do not work on hardware that
doesn't support unaligned memory access. SUN servers are among them. So,
compiling ASPseek successfully do not yet means it will work.
To check your system, compile and run a simple program:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
int i = 1234;
char * cp = (char *)&i;
char j = *(cp + 1);
printf("%d\n", j);
}
On my box, result is 4. It can be different on arch that has a different
byte order, but if you will receive "Bus error" or something like that,
that means ASPseek will not work on your arch.
I have managed to almost fix it (in a separate CVS branch named
aspseek_solaris), but the work is not finished. To finish it, I need
some expressed interest from somebody who wants to run ASPseek on Solaris.
