Unfortunately the configure program does sometimes not do such a great job... It's especially noticeable on HP-UX where it generally gets completely hung up and fails to even compile properly without a certain amount of hacking of the config.log/cache file. Ok, it'd be nice to know which distribution & version of Linux you're using. I have 1.2.13 installed on my computer - and it works ok there. Any more information you might have would be good/ In message , Gary Rector writes >I've been trying to compile Leap but without success.

You shouldn't need to be root to compile leap, or any other program for that matter. Have any other programs shown similair problems...? Another thing I'd like to know is what happens when you run it as a normal user. If it is complaining about permissions, then your /usr/include /usr/lib directories probably are not configured with the correct permissions. Again, any other programs doing strange things that could point to problems in the /usr/include /usr/lib locations? >In file included from /usr/include/string.h:33, > from relation.c:35: >/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.7.2.1/include/stddef.h:167: warning: empty >declaration >relation.c: In function `relations_open': >relation.c:611: `DIR' undeclared (first use this function) >relation.c:611: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once >relation.c:611: for each function it appears in.) >relation.c:611: `directory' undeclared (first use this function) >relation.c:612: parse error before `char' >relation.c:632: `dirpath' undeclared (first use this function) >relation.c:633: `infofile' undeclared (first use this function) >relation.c:636: `lptr' undeclared (first use this function) >relation.c:636: `line' undeclared (first use this function) >relation.c:652: `d' undeclared (first use this function) >relation.c:681: `rel' undeclared (first use this function) >make: *** [relation.o] Error 1 > >Am I missing an "include" file or something?

If you could drop me a copy of the config.* files that are generated (.log, .status, and so forth), I should be able to work out whether it's not picking up on a standard library. The problem is caused by the complex directory handling routines. There are differences with the required includes between BSD and System V Unix variations. I did see something similair back on the HP, and it wasn't a difficult problem to fix. The thing is, my memory is not particular wonderful and I Cannot recall the exact solution. If anybody else cares to have a pop at helping Gary out, I'd appreciate it. In the meantime, I'll see if I can recall the solution to the problem on the HP.

I'm suspecting my setup at the moment, as they're really rather weird. In my desperation at the problem, it got me thinking: How many people/sites use the Windows version. That, in turn, got me thinking: How many people/sites use which version/platform.

At the moment I release the Unix version first, and don't worry too much about the Windows interface (functionality over friendliness, if you will). Of course, if you have any suggestions about LEAP, drop them along with your reply.

This is a problem with the Windows version in that I simply took the C source code from the Unix (Linux) machine, and dropped it into a C compiler on my Windows installation. The compiler (Borland) offers this thing called "Easywin", for DOS programs to get to Windows easily... It doesn't offer cut/paste etc. it's just a simple vehicle. Unfortunately my Windows programming skills are rather poor (It's just never really tickled my interest), and I have never gotten around to implementing a better interface which would solve the problems you and others mention. I will be looking into perhaps building a basic interface to LEAP for Windows that will make it nicer. Unless somebody out there fancies doing something. All I am after is something that I can bolt on top of LEAP. It would simply take input, display output and pass the input to the process_query function that does all the hard work. Without knowing anything much about Windows programming, this doesn't sound too complex... In the meantime, I have finally fixed the problems that led to the e- mail I sent, and hope to release LEAP 1.0 for Windows in the next few days. Unfortunately, however, the cut/paste issue will still be there. Thanks again for your comments. Richard. PS.
