Dear Kevin, It is not clear from your convoluted log, but I suspect this is a 64-bit system and I have the same problem here, i.e. Comis does not work properly. Our 64-bit systems have i386 emulation and I have put statically linked ia32 versions of pawX11 and paw++ for them, which seem to work well.
I have spent some time looking at it but have not had the motivation to finish it. I believe to get the C part of Comis working I should start with the alpha_osf version and try to get round any Linux clashes. Regards, Ian On Fri, 23 Jun 2006, Kevin B.
