Greetings - have downloaded , 'attempted' install of 2.2.8 on OpenVMS Alpha systems (7.2 *and* 7.3) Many problems, up to and including total failure to succeed. Followed instructions (DOWNLOAD, UNZIP "-V", BACKUP.). COMPILE FROM SOURCE - failed, although the Dec CC compiler is one I use frequently. LINK-ONLY - many errors ADDED SNPRINTF.OBJ to the OLB, Retried LINK-ONLY Result : No joy. On one occasion I went ahead with the INSTALL on the chance that the LINK errors were only 'WARNINGS', no success. Also (coincidentally? ) there was no 'SAMBA_STARTUP.COM' file created, although there are two SAMBA_SHUTDOWN.COM' files. Have started from DOWNLOAD step several times, trying variations of COMPILE FROM SOURCE Or LINK-ONLY. Have tried some USENET groups, VMS-Wizard, GOOGLE, etc looking for examples or guidance. Anyone with recent 'successful' experience installing SAMBA on VMS 7.2 or 7.3, please feel free to share.. Thanks in advance bclark@lrgh.org
