You're welcome. > Actually did configure / make using the script ConfigureMe. Good. (If you watched what it did, you'll see that it put lots of "--this-or-that=..." options into the behind-the-scenes "configure".) Unlike typical GNU application programs, heartbeat sits a lots more tightly bound into the OS itself; the default (or site-default) "configure" options are often not right for heartbeat. So our "ConfigureMe" was specifically written to try to get all these non-default things right for the case of heartbeat. > Yes I got those from the blastwave reposirotry: > CSWncurses 5.5,REV=2006.02.10 > So I guess you suggest having a look at the Solaris CD for Solaris > version of those headers. I really cannot remember what I did for this. You'll probably need to do some experimentation. Any deeper analysis you can do would be useful for bug-fixing. (Side-note to our Linux readers: Sun Microsystems (Solaris) tends to be quite conservative in releasing new-featured software compared to Linux. The additional items required (or preferred) for software such as heartbeat may not be in native Solaris, but can be obtained from somewhat more adventurous repositories such as CSW/blastwave or sunfreeware. But the local locations of such installations tend to be off to one side of the main system. And, of course, there is the possibility of version mismatch and confusion when both the natural but old Sun version, and the newer, repository, version are present...) But as I suggested before, the curses/ncurses stuff is optional. Whilst your analysis would be great, don't let it distract you too much at present (unless you want to go down that route). > Yes, I read your following email exange in the mailing list archive: > http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linuxha/users/40766?search_string=%2Bheartbeat%20%2Bk%20%2BSolaris;#40766 > Yes, that looks like it.

Alas, most of those of us doing the non-Linux work on heartbeat are doing so in our spare time, fitted in to odd corners around full-time day jobs, family life and local community activity. So the number of "man-hours" invested in the non-Linux side is very small, quite stop-start and occasional in nature, and completely voluntary. So such known bugs can hang around for ages (too long, I agree), especially if there is no volunteer able to address them. Of course, many of the Linux-oriented folk are similarly spare-time volunteers. But I understand that some of the main Linux-oriented people have heartbeat as part of their official "day job", so heartbeat's Linux aspects are far more thoroughly and robustly debugged, tested and supported than its non-Linux aspects. > > > Meanwhile, if you do come up with any bug fixes and patches, please feel > > free to submit them!

If you can supplement that with suggested solutions or even bugfixes that would be welcome, but don't spend disproportionate time on dreaming up actual bugfixes as they can often require other considerations.
