The alpha binaries were built under OSF V3.2. If your version of the OS is different, then you are bound to have troubles. The troubleshooting guide also has some hints about incremental linking. The troubleshooting guide gets updated more often than the rest of the User's manual. The troubleshooting guide is available via the web from the bottom of the Ptolemy home page at http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu The vem warnings are a known bug, ftp://ptolemy eecs berkeley edu/ftp/pub/ptolemy/contrib/alpha/README.alpha says: ----start--- DEC Alpha specific bugs The DEC Alpha port is a new port that has had very little testing, so there are bound to be 64bit vs. 32bit bugs The CGC fixed-point demos give incorrect results. This is most likely due to the fact that the DEC Alpha is 64 bits. Also, vem gives lots of alignment warnings ---end--- The ultrix-osf1.faq says that you can use uac(1) to turn off the messages. The faq is available at ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/dec-faq/common The real fix would be to fix vem. I had a look at this, but the fix was not obvious. -Christopher Sophocles Metsis writes: -------- I'm trying to compile and link my own stars in ptolemy on an Alpha machine but I'm not able to. Everything works well on the MIPS machine. I'm using the 0.5.2p1 binaries for the DEC ALPHA from the Prolemy ftp site. Here is the error I get from Ptolemy : ---------- Error: Error linking file /tmp/__ptlink13196_0.so: dlopen: The shared-libra ry loader API is not supported for non_shared executables. ---------- The error I get in the shell window is : ---------- /usr/bin/ld: Warning: Linking some objects which contain exception information sections and some which do not. This may cause fatal runtime exception handl ing problems (last obj encountered without exceptions was /local/ptolem y/gnu/alpha/lib/gcc-lib/alpha/2.6.3/libgcc.a). ---------- Any suggestion. Am I suppose to set something I'm not ? Thanks, Sophocles sopho at ee.wpi.edu sopho at wpi.edu PS. When I load up a facet, I get a whole bunch of unaligned accesses from vem. This does not seem to affect anything. Here are some examples: Unaligned access pid=13179 va=14038028c pc=1200e3df0 ra=1200e14f4 typ e=stq Unaligned access pid=13179 va=140388e8c pc=1200e3df0 ra=1200e14f4 typ e=stq Unaligned access pid=13179 va=140385c8c pc=1200e3df0 ra=1200e14f4 typ e=stq Unaligned access pid=13179 va=14038648c pc=1200e3df0 ra=1200e14f4 typ e=stq Unaligned access pid=13179 va=14038868c pc=1200e3df0 ra=1200e14f4 typ e=stq Unaligned access pid=13179 va=14038968c pc=1200e3df0 ra=1200e14f4 typ e=stq Unaligned access pid=13179 va=1403e288c pc=1200e3df0 ra=1200e14f4 typ e=stq thanks -------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted to the ptolemy-hackers mailing list.
