Remember that the GCC compiler on the VAX install is a modified gcc v 2.9.5. Not sure if the error messages were even more cryptic then. Also not sure if the fact that the machine I am using has only 32 megs of RAM is a factor. Once I master SIMH I may try to run it under emulation on my x86 mac

Are you referring to the precompiled binaries or to the ports that will compile and is there another version of OpenBSD that will allow more packages to install or compile on the Vax? In other words can I install another version of openbsd and have less issues? All I really want is gcc, gdb, ema

Thanks for the response. I have just tried again to install emacs 21 from the 5.2 release ports with no_X11 and again it gives me an error message. Is it possible to try to install just emacs 21 (and possibly git) from "current" without having to upgrade my entire install to the latest snapsh

BTW I also tried to install emacs v 18.x using the source code from the FSF GNU website hoping that it's age and the fact that it was probably contemporary to the VAX as a new machine and probably older than GCC 2.9.5 but that compilation also failed. On Feb 11, 2013, at 4:42 AM, Stuart Henders
