FYI,
Lest anyone be planning an upgrade, I get segmentation faults on
PolyML startup using Linux 2.6.9 (using PolyML as distributed with
Isabelle). Maybe it's just me though.
2.6.8.1 seems fine though.

I tried to install PolyML again... Here is what I did.
Unpacked the driver archive:
polyml-driver-4.1.3.tar.gz
Then ran ./configure. It warned me about the operating
system saying: "unknown operating system OpenBSD". And
there are no XWindows support either (which is
understanable because Xm is in different directories
on my system, anyways). I continued and tried to
compile it: make... There was a compilation
error: discgc.c line 36 alloca.h (No such file or
directory - NSFOD).
Then I copied the part where the OS is identified in
the configure file for FREEBSD. The changes are like
this:
OpenBSD) echo "OpenBSD operating system"
ARCH=`uname -m`
OS=freebsd
OSFLAGS=-DFREEBSD
LIBS="-lm"
;;
After that ran configure again, which removed the
warning regarding the operating system.
Then tried to compile it again (first make clean, then
make). There were again errors which I have changed
like this...
1. mmap.c: 66 values.h (No such file or directory).
I commented out the include. There is no values
in my system. I tried to find it. Maybe I have to find
the corresponding header file for this. In the mmap.c
file there is a comment that says that FREEBSD warns
about that particular file. Since there is a warning
I commented it out.
There is a file /usr/include/limits.h that defines
the constants defined in values.h on other systems. I
will try to include this file and compile again...
But since it compiles without this file, the constants
must be defined somewhere...
Anyways here are the remaining steps that I have
taken.
2. reals.c: 24 floatingpoint.h (NSFOD). I have changed
this include to ieeefp.h, which is on my system. No
floatingpoint.h present. floatingpoint.h on FreeBSD
is for IEEE fp functionality.
3. realconv.c: warnings here. Ignored.
after these changes I compiled again (make clean and
then make). Compiled fine. Installed the polyML using
make install.
Then I continued and created a temp directory and
unpacked the polyml-4.1.3.i386.tar.gz database
to the directory created. It created a DB413Release
and a link ML_dbase. In the same directory I ran poly
and it gave me this message:
Can't process signal at 2071acee
and poly.core created (core dumped).
By the way, my system is (using uname -srv):
OpenBSD 3.4 GENERIC #18
