Yup. To get a Config.pm that works with gcc on Irix (for systems that do not have SGI cc installed/licensed), download the Config.pm from http://www.digitalmages.com/irix/ (a site which has some good tips in general). This is needed to correctly compile spamassassin's C-based components. > Q: Assuming IRIX has some equivalent to truss or strace (system call > trace utility), can you tell what's prompting the core dump?

I ended up doing a perl -d, and stepping through the source. It choked on trying to load DB_File. It's known to be broken on the SGI Freeware CD/site version of perl 5.6.1; it's just not supposed to make perl _crash_. I removed the references to DB_File and GDBM_File from BayesStore.pm and DBBasedAddrList, and it worked fine. This may be worth documenting, as it'll be common to any other Irix user who is dependent upon gcc plus the SGI Freeware perl 5.6.1 (their most current release). -- Lydia ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.
