I can provide more context, but I don't have anyway to submit a bug with a patch. Installwatch does a number of system operations, such as chmod. These functions send a pointer/array of size MAXPATHLEN to a function called canonicalize, which on a glibc based machine just reassigns the pointer to the return value of get_current_dir_name(). However, there is still the old unix way of getcwd(pointer,MAXPATHLEN) with more work. So we can either use #ifdef __GLIBC__ char *canonic; #else char canonic[MAXPATHLEN]; #endif in each of these functions or is there a better way? ===== James Morrison University of Waterloo Computer Science - Digital Hardware 1B __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
