this is a solaris bug,
htey have several versions of rpcgen, some of them bugged
i do have a binary aceserver for solaris
i ll add it to ncbi, but i hope it does not depend
on the excat solaris machine
the problem is:
the rpc self generated code wrpc/rpcace_svc.c
forks AFTERR establishing the pipe
the rest of this message contained a correct file:
wrpc/rpcace_svc.c to be substituted inside
wrpc directory after rpcgen has run:
make aceserver:
this will call rpcgen and cretae the faulty rpcace_svc.c
cp the fixed rpcace_svc.c:
cp rpcace_svc.c.ok rpcace_svc.c
touch rpcace_svc.c
to garantee that mkake will not overwrite it
make aceserver
verify that make recompiles the new rpcace_svc.c and relinks
and that after that rpcace_svc.c is still the fixed one !
If the server still does not work, let me know
here is rpcace_svc.c.ok FOR SOLARIS machines ONLY
