--jq0ap7NbKX2Kqbes Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear Readers, System Details : FreeBSD 4.3-Release I would like to replace `MakeIndex' with `xindy -- A Flexible Indexing System'. It seems that together with TeX and LaTeX, `xindy' generates splendid multi-lingual indices. I have info on the software from :=20 http://www.iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/xindy/ I have downloaded the source code and binaries from : ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/indexing/xindy/ The trouble is that the binaries are only available for Linux and SunOS, AIX etc. I can't get the Linux version to `make' let alone `make install'. The errors are of the following variety: =3D=3D=3D[rbm49] ~/distdir/xindy/xindy/binaries/i386-linux-elf $ make all Creating file defaults.xdy... Finished defaults.xdy. =2E/xindy.run -q -M ./base.mem -c ../../current/src/base.lsp -o base.fas handle_fault error1 ! *** - SIGSEGV cannot be cured. Fault address =3D 0xC675D200. *** Signal 11 Stop in /usr/home/rbm49/distdir/xindy/xindy/binaries/i386-linux-elf. =3D=3D=3D[rbm49] ~/distdir/xindy/xindy/binaries/i386-linux-elf $=20 Has any one had any luck getting `xindy' to work under FreeBSD? I would very much like to hear from you if you have.
