Greetings again,
My original question dealt with a peculiar error message, "l101.exe:
cannot map data", being reported by Gaussian 94 whenever any job was run.
Dr. Tom Blinn pointed out to me that that particular message did not exist
in any of the DEC shared libraries, at least on his particular system, and
suggested that the problem must be the application itself. He further
suggested that I grep the source code, and if necessary, the binaries, to
determine what the next step should be.
Peter Stern pointed out that the issue, in his experience, had been a DXML
conflict. He suggested compiling with the "-fast" switch, or use setenv
variables:
setenv DECF90_4SQRT F ! f90
setenv DECFORT_4SQRT F ! f77
Now, for the solution =)
While all of this advice was sound, and I was about to act on it, another
message from the original application author came in. He suggested that
the binaries from the old system backups should have worked, and perhaps
we should try to compile them as -non_shared. This has done the trick, at
least as far as getting the program started. We will apparently need to
upgrade the system to the newest versions (as correctly stated by Peter
Stern), however, in order to use the next release, Gaussian 98, when it
comes out in a couple of months.
Thanks to Peter and Tom for their advice on this matter. For a while, I
was certain I was going to have to reprogram this Alpha with a
sledgehammer. ;-)
