Phil Shirts on 20191008 added idlRpcClient. I also include libidl_rpc.so, to be similar to the sunos brach of the binaries. I don't know if it is needed. I saved them both as freeland so I wouldn't have to change the directories permissions or ownership. These commands compiled with the above Makefile: in /home/shirts/sdowww1_rpc_files make clean make all cc -o idlRpcClient -L. -Wl,-rpath,. rpc_tout.o rpc_clnt.o idl_rpc_xdr.o idl_rpc_test.o idl_rpc_obsolete.o -lidl_rpc On sdowww1, the list of file in /home/shirts/sdowww1_rpc_files is: -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 5156 Oct 8 13:05 Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 5138 Oct 8 13:03 Makefile_orig -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 1999 Feb 7 2019 README.TXT -rwxr-xr-x 1 shirts users 8824 Oct 8 13:42 example -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 921 Feb 7 2019 example.c -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 2352 Oct 8 13:42 example.o -rwxr-xr-x 1 shirts users 50672 Oct 8 13:50 idlRpcClient -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 2689 Jun 25 2003 idlRpcClient.c -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 118561 Feb 7 2019 idl_export.h -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 353 Feb 7 2019 idl_rpc.export -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 4316 Feb 7 2019 idl_rpc.h -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 13058 Feb 7 2019 idl_rpc_obsolete.c -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 4095 Feb 7 2019 idl_rpc_obsolete.h -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 8800 Oct 8 13:42 idl_rpc_obsolete.o -rwxr-xr-x 1 shirts users 31184 Oct 8 13:42 idl_rpc_test -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 35616 Feb 7 2019 idl_rpc_test.c -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 39552 Oct 8 13:42 idl_rpc_test.o -rwxr-xr-x 1 shirts users 31208 Oct 8 13:42 idl_rpc_test_loopback -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 35553 Feb 7 2019 idl_rpc_test_loopback.c -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 39568 Oct 8 13:42 idl_rpc_test_loopback.o -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 11183 Feb 7 2019 idl_rpc_xdr.c -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 1531 Feb 7 2019 idl_rpc_xdr.h -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 7112 Oct 8 13:42 idl_rpc_xdr.o -rwxr-xr-x 1 shirts users 24448 Oct 8 13:42 idlrpc lrwxrwxrwx 1 shirts users 14 Oct 8 13:20 libXp.so.6 -> libXp.so.6.2.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 shirts users 38792 Feb 7 2019 libXp.so.6.2.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 shirts users 1252404 Feb 7 2019 libcll.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 shirts users 21168 Oct 8 13:42 libidl_rpc.so -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 37437 Feb 7 2019 rpc_clnt.c -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 15800 Oct 8 13:42 rpc_clnt.o -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 768 Apr 28 1997 rpc_link.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 14437 Feb 7 2019 rpc_srvr.c -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 10928 Oct 8 13:42 rpc_srvr.o -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 4712 Feb 7 2019 rpc_tout.c -rw-r--r-- 1 shirts users 3856 Oct 8 13:42 rpc_tout.o Some of these files were pulled from: /usr/local/harris/idl87 (There is probably a better way to compile this by supplying paths in the Makefile. But, that is what I did.) --PGS
