This area contains known problems and comments about the CLX 5.04a release. 

Date: Wednesday 6 December 2000:

The wwv_data.idx file in ~/db was inadvertedly left out of the software
distribution. Please replace the current file which you have now
with the following:

---snip-----------------------------------------------
create index idx_wwd
on wwv_data using btree (wwv_date date_ops);
---snap-----------------------------------------------

and then re-run the index generation for the WWV table once more. 

$ psql clx_db -c "drop index idx_wwd"
DROP
$ psql clx_db < wwv_data.idx 
create index idx_wwd
on wwv_data using btree (wwv_date date_ops);
CREATE

EOF

We may decide to put out a new 5.04b version with that correction in
the next days.

Installing clx 5.04a on a Redhat 7.0 system with Postgres 7.0 needs the following link:

(as clx_us)
cd ~/lib
ln -s /usr/lib/libpq.so.2 libpq.so.2.0

This area contains known problems and additions with the CLX 5.01 release.

We have just located the problem with DIR/BUL that was reported by
Larry a couple of days ago. The problem was that CLX 4.06, 5.00
and 5.01 crash when a user enters DIR/BUL or DIR/Y2000 or some
other unknown file area.

The bug actually was in the script ~/bin/clx where line 348

348 %p = ('mail',1,'iclb',1,'info',3,'batch',0,'bulletin',3);

should actually read

348 %p = ('mail',1,'iclb',1,'info',3,'batch',0,'bulletin',0);

This will be corrected in a future version of CLX. The command creates 
the ml_dir records in the database when they are not there (after a 
fresh install).

To fix your current problem, use the following command (as clx_us
from the shell prompt):

$ psql -d clx_db -c "update ml_dir set d_flag=0 where ml_dir.d_name='bulletin'"

You can do this while clx is up and benefit immediately. After that, your
users can do anything.



There is a little typo in ~/clx/tools/log_monitor (Called monitor within CLX).
Here is the mail that Ben sent about it:


When setting a focus on something, it would not show all but only those
lines from the log, that did not contain a colon (":"). So it would
show connects and disconnects but no DX spots (as they go like this:

DX de sp2nje:
^ this is the culprit

I have tracked down the problem to a regular expression on line 217.
If you have the same problem and wish to fix it, change line 217
from

$_[0] =~ s/^.*: //;
to
$_[0] =~ s/^.*?: //;

This is Perl notation really at its best!
