Re: Problems Compileing PVM

Greetings,
        I have a problem with compileing PVMd
        on my LinuxPPC 1999 dist.

        When i try to build anything liked off of the
        PVM libs i get the following errors:

        ../../lib/LINUXPPC/libpvm3.a(lpvmpack.o): In function
`pvm_vpackf': lpvmpack.o(.text+0x53e8): undefined reference to
`__va_arg_type_violation'
        lpvmpack.o(.text+0x53e8): relocation truncated
to fit: R_PPC_REL24 __va_arg_type_violation
        lpvmpack.o(.text+0x54f4):
undefined reference to `__va_arg_type_violation'
        lpvmpack.o(.text+0x54f4): relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_REL24
__va_arg_type_violation

        It looks like a linker error...
        i have never had this error before on any
        of my other systems(ARM, ALPHA and INTEL).

        has anyone seen this?  or am i looking in the
        wrong list?

Have a look in the function pvm_vpackf. I suppose there is something
like this:

va_arg(xyz,int) and in your case I suppose the int isn't int, it's
something else?!

e.g. when you have this va_arg(xyz,char), this would give the error
described above. You can only get the function as wanted when you do
(char)va_arg(xyz,int).

For further details search the dev-list.
