Summary: File system filling when running configure on HP-UX 11.00

Initial Comment:
When trying to run the configure script on a HP-UX 11.00 system /tmp is being filled with a pxdbXXXXXXX file.  The last check it runs is:
  
  checking for executable suffix

I've increased the amount of available space up to 500Meg+ and the file keeps growing.  Any help would be appreciated.

OK, I have no idea what's going on.  Is it normal to build as root on HP-UX systems?  Try building as a normal user.

The build control has changed a fair bit, you may want to try the CVS version of Expat, or wait for the upcoming 1.95.2 release.

I guessing, but from the looks of it ltconfig is what's running at the time of the file system filling.  It creates a group of PXDB files, but one is always huge.  Here's a list of /tmp after it fills:

-rw-rw-rw-   1 root       sys            132 Dec 26 09:50 pxdbb05197
-rw-rw-rw-   1 root       sys              0 Dec 26 09:50 pxdbc05197
-rw-rw-rw-   1 root       sys              0 Dec 26 09:50 pxdbd05197
-rw-rw-rw-   1 root       sys              0 Dec 26 09:50 pxdbe05197
-rw-rw-rw-   1 root       sys              0 Dec 26 09:50 pxdbf05197
-rw-rw-rw-   1 root       sys        532953088 Dec 26 09:51 pxdbg05197
-rw-rw-rw-   1 root       sys              0 Dec 26 09:50 pxdbh05197


Here's a tail of the config.log file.  If you need more I'll email the whole file.

configure:1012: checking if the linker (/usr/bin/ld) is GNU ld
configure:1028: checking for BSD-compatible nm
configure:1064: checking whether ln -s works
ltconfig:581: checking whether we are using GNU C
ltconfig:589: cc -E conftest.c
ltconfig:603: checking for object suffix
ltconfig:604: cc -c -g  conftest.c 1>&5
ltconfig:629: checking for executable suffix
ltconfig:630: cc -o conftest -g   conftest.c  1>&5
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: (Warning) At least one PA 2.0 object file (conftest.o) was detected. The linked output may not run on a PA 1.x system

I am running as root when I run the configure script, unless I change alot of system permissions I can't run it any other way.

This is *really* strange!  Do you know what program configure is running when it creates the pxdb* file?  Can you send the config.log file configure generates?

Thanks!

This is a userid specific thing. I have the same problem 
(didn't get the reason for now). If i run configure as root, it works!
Maybe you've installed a OS Patch that kill's the system.
BUT i didn't got it running yet ...
