Hi This is an old problem with ubuntu. There is no xdr problem with debian and fedora. So, one solution is to use ubuntu specific linking instruction (see Paul Fertser's message, that I transfered to the list), an other one is to compile SU with an other distro or to "ditch xdr" like Rob...

Hi All, Thanks all for the reminder about the idiosyncracies of Ubuntu. But, just to add 2c to the discussion, like quite a number of other people and companies (including work at CSM) , I've been using SU interactively mixed with java, which latter writes native bigendian floats. It was a joy to enable the XDR versions of SU where I didn't have to worry about endianity all the time, and scripts didn't need to be littered with swapbytes stuff. So I'd urge caution in removing functionality that many have appreciated immensely. Thanks James.

At the beginning SU used native endian and floating point format. Users knew that when moving from one computer to another, byte swap and floating point format might be needed. SU was developed on a VAX at Stanford and when I took it to CSM on a compute Gould there there was a factor of 4 in the floating point numbers. Later people lived with moving data between big and small endians, it was sometimes a nuisance but not nearly as much of a problem as XDR is now. Because SU can be compiled with or without XDR, usually without the users being aware of it, there is often a situation that people on the same type of computer are incompatible. Aegrescit medendo. What I suggest is 1. Back out SU off XDR. Go back to pre XDR gettr and puttr. I may still have an old version of SU but it's simple. 2. Provide diagnostic tools, based on magic (https://linux.die.net/man/5/magic) to identify narive format SU files 3. Provide either data conversion tools and/or functionality in gettr to convert the data to native format--we don't need XDR to do that. 4. The unsigned short ns header word limits the number of samples per trace to 65K. This was plenty in 1975 when SEGY was new but not now. If somebody simplifies SU taking it off XDR then they can easily designate a fall back 32 bit header word to be used if ns is set to zero. --- Shuki On Wed, Mar 15, 2023 at 10:10 AM Paul Fertser <fercerpav@gmail.com<mailto:fercerpav@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi, On Tue, Mar 14, 2023 at 09:47:04PM +0100, Dominique Rousset wrote: There will be pretty soon: https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=bookworm&searchon=contents&… Those RPC functions were removed from glibc, so on any modern GNU/Linux system one just needs to use libtirpc or probably libntirpc.

Dear All, I have been able to compile CWP-44.R26 with the changes in the Makefile.config I have added as suggested: POSTLFLAGS = -ltirpc OPTC = -g -std=c99 -m64 -Wall -ansi -Wno-long-long -D_ISOC99_SOURCE CFLAGS = -I$I $(OPTC) $(CWP_FLAGS) $(shell pkg-config --cflags libtirpc) THe compilation was successful, However an even more strange thing happens now. The generated executables have an segmentation fault when they are called without arguments eg: Executing a2b (for example) nmrc@BlueDawn /home/nmrc/ > a2b zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) a2b Nevertheless, with an input file the executable works correctly, Has anybody by any chance encountered this issue before? Any ideas how to solve it? This behaviour gets worse as grafics (xgraph, xwigb, ximage and their su equivalents don't work even with arguments). suximage perc=98 < tst.su /home/nmrc/sys.r/sft.local/CWP/bin/ximage: error reading input file zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) suximage perc=98 < tst.su Thanks in advance.

Dear All, I am retaking the issues with regard to a segmentation error that happens on SU modules after successful compilation. I have been compiling and testing several releases of CWP-44 versions on UBUNTU 22.04 LTS. The issue is that after successful compilation when I try and run any of the modules, an immediate segmentation error occurs, and the documentation is not printed out. when using the debugger, I get always the same message independently of the executable ( a2b, sunan, etc). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. __vfprintf_internal (s=0x555642a0, format=0x55555555c292 "%s\n", ap=ap@entry=0x7fffffffbe50, mode_flags=mode_flags@entry=0) at ./stdio-common/vfprintf-internal.c:1218 1218 ./stdio-common/vfprintf-internal.c: No such file or directory.

(I have tried on 3 different machines to make sure it was not a set up issue). CWP-44.R18 fine CWP-44.R19 fine CWP-44.R20 segmentation errors CWP-44.R22 segmentation errors CWP-44.R25 segmentation errors CWP-44.R26 segmentation errors CWP-44.R27 segmentation errors If anybody has any idea It would be welcome. Thanks.

I see R27 added some ubuntu-specific config, and it's not using pkg-config, and the macro defined is -D_POSIX_SOURCE, not -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L , this last point might make a difference. In general I think distro-specific Makefiles shouldn't be used, and instead pkg-config and other auto-detection methods should take care of all the differences (just few if any are really essential for SU) between all GNU/Linux distros. I need a way to reproduce, if it still segfaults please show log of all your actions (downloading, configuring, making, running). -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:fercerpav@gmail.com
