Grant, Also, this is the code you are using:
http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=21136&seqNum=7 When I tried it, I got: [thud at ultralord ~/rpc]> ./ravg $RANDOM $RANDOM $RANDOM RANDOM: Undefined variable. [thud at ultralord ~/rpc]> ./ravg 10 11 12 value = 0.000000e+00 value = 0.000000e+00 10: RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Timed out Sweet, I actually made the same mistake you made! [thud at ultralord ~/rpc]> ./ravg localhost 10 11 12 value = 0.000000e+00 value = 0.000000e+00 value = 0.000000e+00 average = 0.000000e+00 Can you spot the difference? I have no clue what the other args are or what $RANDOM is supposed to be. I can get something more interesting: [thud at ultralord ~/rpc]> ./ravg localhost 10.2 11.2 12.3 value = 3.200000e+01 value = 3.200000e+01 value = 3.200000e+01 average = 3.200000e+01 But given the amount of work I had to do to get the program compiling, I'm okay with blaming the source.
