Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had any success installing and running cdb on Mac OS X (I'm running Panther: 10.3.2). I have poked around a fair amount on the web/usenet but haven't found any web pages or posts detailing anyone's success in doing so. Downloading and going through the standard install process of cdb it built and installed fine. I am able to read data out of the test db crated from the /etc/services file: % ./cdbget smtp/tcp < test.cdb && echo '' 25 % ./cdbget @25/tcp < test.cdb && echo '' smtp However, running cdbtest and cdbstats results in errors concerning truncated files. e.g. % ./cdbtest < test.cdb cdbtest: fatal: unable to read input: truncated file % ./cdbstats < test.cdb cdbstats: fatal: unable to read input: truncated file I've been unable to find any information on the web about these error messages and what they are caused by. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Finn Last Minute Addendum: I just found the GNU-Darwin cdb package (http://www.gnu-darwin.org/). Maybe I can get that to work.
