> /usr/lib/perl-5.8.0/lib/5.8.0/alpha-dec_osf/CORE'.

> We are then able to compile PAR, perform 'make' and 'make install',

"Unaligned access pid=225910 <static> va=0x11fffbbac
pc=0x1201a4140 ra=0x1201a5614 inst=0xa4200000"
The background of these messages is briefly explained at

Question 7. More info can be found in the uac manpage and the Tru64
Programmer's Guide.

As one of you guys please have a look at this. That would be
great!
