RE: [nv-l] build_location.pl

[ray.smith@clorox.com]

The problem of empty output is caused by the readline function, a seldom used Perl function that apparently behaves differently in different versions of Perl. If you replace all instances of "readline ($_[0])" with "<MAPDUMP>", the script should work fine in any version (or at least version 4 or better, which is all I've ever worked with) of Perl.

Just for the record, I had the same problem and my perl is at 5.6 on AIX 4.3.3.

I think 5.6 should work. I am on solaris 2.8 and had the issue with PERL 5.05. Let me research a bit and I'll post a response here.

Your PERL version may be a factor. Can you check what version you are using?
 
perl -version will tell you

Hi Folks,
I downloaded the build_location.pl script
I then ran:
ovmapdump -v > /tmp/ovmapdump.out 
build_location.pl /tmp/ovmapdump.out > /tmp/location.conf
 
my ovmapcount.out is about 7026770 bytes
my location.conf file generated is 141 bytes with only the following lines:

# location.conf file was autogenerated on Friday May 21 17:48:01 GMT 2004.
# Script completed processing on Friday May 21 17:48:05 GMT 2004
 
Q1: Any idea on what I did wrong?
Q2: Any suggestions?
 


Thank You,
