Hello,

I want to try noteedit and PMX at Linux. I have some experience with PMX
at Windows, but I hoped that it should be possible to run it at my Linux
system. 

I am using a OpenSuSE Linux 10.0 RC1 with tetex and musixtex installed.
But there is no preconfigured PMX. I downloaded pmx_2.5.10.orig.tar.gz
as well as pmx-2.40.tar.bz and compiled each version using f2c (there is
currently no g77 installed):

  ln pmxab.for pmxab.f
  f2c pmxab.f -Nx400 -Nn802
  gcc -g pmxab.c -lf2c -lm -o pmxab

This compiled fine and I copied pmxab as well as the pmx script to
~/bin.

Unfortunately pmxab crashes immediately in startup as long you specify
any command line argument. Using gdb I got the location:

  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
  0x40034982 in getarg_ () from /usr/lib/libf2c.so.0

This is not related to the segmentation violation with specific line
ending I found in the mailing list archive. 

I found a workaround in the pmx script. I changed the line 
  pmxab $1    to
  echo $1 | pmxab
but this is not satisfying. Have you compiled PMX successully at your
OpenSuSE Linux? Do you know any precompiled rpm archvive?

Best regards,
Helge
