Hi,

I received an answer from Andrew Gallatin. I tried it, and it works fine.
Thanks for the quick response, Drew!

The original question was:

> Is there anybody, who did the public domain portmapper (from Wietse
> Venema) successfully install? I compiled it without any errors, but when I
> started the new portmap and tried to initialize the portmap table
> (described in README), I get "non registered: xxxx" error messages, even I

> I am using AlphaServer 2100 4/200 and DEC Unix v3.2

Its a 64 vs. 32 bit problem.  Wietse Venema told me that every
occurance of xdr_long needs to be changed to to be xdr_int so that 
its 32-bits. I've included a diff below.  After doing this, I've had
no problems.
