Very Computer

Hello,

I've tried to compile tcsh 6.06 on Linux 1.3.39 and libc 5.3.9.  Evidently, it
doesn't work.  When I try it from the command line, it comes up fine.  Then,
if I type a command, I never get my propmt back.  Is there a patch somewhere
to fix this?  I am slowly upgrading my system to be ELF-only and it's annoying
not to be able to recompile my main shell.

Thank you for any/all help.

I have been using tcsh 6.06 for a month and a half with no problems.  I'm
using kernel 1.3.x (where 'x' is a recently released version), gcc 2.7.2, libc
5.3.9 (well, as of today, 5.3.12), and ncurses 1.9.8a.  I made the following
changes.  The ones which may be relevant to the problem you're having are the
NLS_CATALOGS change in config/linux and the Imakefile change.  The sh.c change
is necessary only if you're going to install Emacs 19.31 when it comes out, or
if you're currently running one of its release pre-test versions.
