Indeed, I've just noticed this problem the other day on Solaris myself. I'm attaching a corrected version.
- gawk, awk, nawk:
``awk'' and ``nawk'' don't seem to understand ``fflush'' function used in p/test/test_sum script - they break at it. If GNU gawk is not installed, editing of the script is required.
I'm trying to check if it works now (also attached). You might want to check if it works.
- alpha-sof-4.0b/gawk:
On Alpha/OSF1/DU4.0b systems there is an ancient example of gawk installed in /usr/bin which neither understands long options, neither fflush() function (if it's GNU at all?), so the script breaks - I bailed out again with symlinking /usr/local/bin/gawk to ~/bin, but I feel it's kind of clumsy.
We don't use any long options, do we? So it also the fflush problem, or anything else?
Yes, and if you consider me worthy I'd be happy to help :-)
Of course, any help is very welcome. Thanks for these reports, BTW.
