 Hello:
Let me quickly outline my system configuration:

----

Epics version: 3.13.9

ChannelArchiver version: 1.9.1

OS: RedHat9 ( kernel 2.4.20)

gcc version from running 'gcc -v':

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/specs

Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix
--disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit
--host=i386-redhat-linux

Thread model: posix

gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)

----
I was wondering whether anyone has been using the ChannelArchiver under
RedHat9. I am having a few minor compilation issues which I believe may
be related to my version of gcc.
Essentially the problem is due to a line (in two different files):
_file.unsetf (std::ios::binary);
where _file is an object of type std::ifstream. The error I get is:
In file included from ../ASCIIParser.cc:6:

.../ASCIIParser.cpp: In member function `bool ASCIIParser::open(const

stdString&)':

.../ASCIIParser.cpp:25: no matching function for call to `

std::basic_ifstream<char, std::char_traits<char> >::unsetf(const

std::_Ios_Openmode&)'

/usr/include/c++/3.2.2/bits/ios_base.h:361: candidates are: void

std::ios_base::unsetf(std::_Ios_Fmtflags)

gmake[1]: *** [ASCIIParser.o] Error 1

gmake[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/local/epics_versions/epics3.13.9GEM8.5/extensions/src/Tools/O.Linux'

gmake: *** [install.Linux] Error 2

I can comment out this line and everything compiles fine. It seems like
the library interface has changed and one cannot set the bits
responsible for binary processing after the stream has been opened.
I would imagine that this line makes very little difference on linux,
but I am curious whether other people perhaps with other versions of gcc
have experienced this. For the sake of consistency I would like modify
the code as little as possible (preferably not at all).
Also, does anyone know what the *official* web page for the archiver is?
I found most information on:
http://lansce.lanl.gov/lansce8/Epics/Archiver/
and:
http://ics-web1.sns.ornl.gov/~kasemir/archiver/
<http://ics-web1.sns.ornl.gov/%7Ekasemir/archiver/>
which has source for version 2.1.0 (which should be used with EPICS
3.14.x).
Thanks.
