Problems Compiling GhostView?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I'm compiling GV
(http://wwwthep.physik.uni-mainz.de/~plass/gv/
) with DEC C. Everything works fine until the
compilation of the ghostview.c source file where
I get the following error:

%MMK-F-ERRUPD, error status %X19DB800C occurred
when updating target GHOSTVIEW.O

I found in the help for DEC C that I have to
contact the support for that kind of error. So,
here I am.
 
  Compiler:     DEC C invoked by CC/DECC
  CC Qualifier:
/warnings=verbose/list/show=messages/NODEB/EXT=STRICT/PREF=ALL
 
I hope I will find help here or, at least an
indication of where I can find hints to solve my
problem!
 
Yours,

The Answer is :

 
  You have unfortunately contacted the OpenVMS Wizard, and not the Compaq
  Customer Support Center.
 
  As of this writing (in June 2001), Compaq C V6.4A is the current Compaq
  C compiler version.  The OpenVMS Wizard is not particularly aware of any
  problem reports nor any incompatibilities involving recent Compaq C
  versions and recent GhostView (GV) and GhostScript (GS) source modules.
 
  If you wish to pursue this, you will want to contact the Compaq Customer
  Support Center directly, and you should expect to provide details of the
  compiler version -- without the compiler version, the OpenVMS Wizard is
  not in a position to attempt to duplicate this error.
 
  Recent versions of both GhostView and GhostScript are available on the
  OpenVMS Freeware V5.0 distribution -- please see the OpenVMS FAQ for
  pointers to the Freeware.
