- <h3 class="subsection">1.6.6 Configuration Related Errors</h3>
- <p>The source code distribution of <code>avram</code> incorporates a flexible
- configuration script allowing it to be installed on a variety of
- platforms. Not all platforms allow support for all features. It is also
- anticipated that new features may be added to <code>avram</code> from time to
- time. Some problems may therefore occur due to features not being
- supported at your site for either of these reasons. The following error
- messages are relevant to these situations.
- </p>
- <dl compact="compact">
- <dt> <code>unsupported hook</code></dt>
- <dd><a name="index-unsupported-hook-1"></a>
- <p>If it’s not simply due to an application programming error
- (<a href="Application-Programming-Errors.html#Application-Programming-Errors">Application Programming Errors</a>) this message may be the result of
- trying to use an application that requires a newer version of
- <code>avram</code> than the one installed, even though applications should
- avoid this problem by checking the version number at run time. If this
- is the reason, the solution would be to install the latest version.
- </p></dd>
- <dt> <code><var>application-name</var>: I need avram linked with <var>foo</var>, <var>bar</var> and <var>baz</var>.</code></dt>
- <dd><a name="index-I-need-avram-linked-with"></a>
- <p>A message of the this form indicates that a new installation may be
- needed. At this writing (11/11/1), <code>avram</code> may report this message
- with respect to <code>libexpect5.32</code>, <code>tcl8.3</code>, and <code>libutil</code>
- if any of the ‘<samp>-i</samp>’, ‘<samp>-t</samp>’, or ‘<samp>-s</samp>’ options is used on a
- system where not all of these libraries were detected when <code>avram</code>
- was installed from a source distribution. (See <a href="Parameter-Mode-Options.html#Parameter-Mode-Options">Parameter Mode Options</a>.)
- Because <code>avram</code> is useful even without interactive applications,
- these libraries are not considered absolute prerequisites by the
- configuration script.
- </p></dd>
- <dt> <code>avram: can't emulate version <var>version</var></code></dt>
- <dd><a name="index-can_0027t-emulate-version"></a>
- <a name="index-emulation-command-line-option-1"></a>
- <a name="index-versions"></a>
- <a name="index-backward-compatibility"></a>
- <p>The ‘<samp>--emulation=<var>version</var></samp>’ option obviously won’t work if
- the requested version is newer than the installed version, or if it is
- not a valid version number (<a href="General-Options.html#General-Options">General Options</a>). When that happens,
- this message is printed instead and <code>avram</code> terminates.
- </p></dd>
- <dt> <code>avram: multiple version specifications</code></dt>
- <dd><a name="index-multiple-version-specifications"></a>
- <p>The ‘<samp>--emulation=<var>version</var></samp>’ option can be used at most once
- on a command line. This message is printed if it is used more than
- once. If you only typed it once and got this message, check your aliases
- and wrapper scripts before reporting a bug.
- </p></dd>
- <dt> <code>avram: unrecognized option: <var>option-name</var></code></dt>
- <dd><a name="index-unrecognized-option"></a>
- <p>may mean that a command line option has been misspelled, or may be another
- sign of an obsolete version of <code>avram</code>. This message will be followed
- by a usage summary similar to that of the ‘<samp>--help</samp>’ option.
- (<a href="General-Options.html#General-Options">General Options</a>).
- </p></dd>
- <dt> <code><var>application-name</var>: warning: search paths not supported</code></dt>
- <dd><a name="index-search-paths"></a>
- <a name="index-paths"></a>
- <a name="index-environment-2"></a>
- <a name="index-AVMINPUTS-1"></a>
- <a name="index-search-paths-not-supported"></a>
- <a name="index-argz_002eh"></a>
- <p>If the ‘<tt>argz.h</tt>’ header file was not detected during configuration,
- <code>avram</code> will not be able to support search paths in the
- <code>AVMINPUTS</code> environment variable (<a href="Environment.html#Environment">Environment</a>). This message
- is a warning that the environment variable is being ignored. If the
- warning is followed by an i/o error
- (<a href="i_002fo-Errors.html#i_002fo-Errors">i/o Errors</a>), the latter may be due to a file being in a path that
- was not searched for this reason. A workaround is to specify the full
- path names of all input files outside the current working directory. If
- you don’t need search paths, you can get rid of this message by
- undefining <code>AVMINPUTS</code>.
