Hi, I have compiled arachne successfully on a Debian box with gcc 2.95.4. There were changes required to some of the files: String.h, String.cc and the references to #include "procbuf.h" needed to be changed to #include <procbuf.h> everywhere. After this I downloaded xerces-c.1.5.1.so from http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-c/stable/archives/Xerces-C_1_5_1/ and unpacked it and copied the .so into the Arachne_src directory (you might not need this step as I was given a binary Tru64 download which included the source so the xerces library was in coff alpha format). After all this mangling, everything worked out fine. Here is what I added to String.h (find the section where this method is declared - there are several of them): String ToString(long int x); Then in String.cc basically implement this method by adding: String ToString(long int x) { string answer; strstream s; s << x; s >> answer; return answer; } After this, it will all compile (at least worked for me). What problems are you exactly having with the compilation? Hope this helped! Ognen On Thu, 2002-08-22 at 16:29, bioinfo wrote: > Hello, > Has anyone attempted to get Arachne working on RedHat 7.3?
