I'm attempting to install MP4 on a 5.0.7 system with MP3/UP3 installed, but
get the following error when it attempts to re-link:
undefined first referenced
symbol in file
stack_growth_threshold
/var/opt/K/SCO/link/1.1.1Hw/etc/conf/pack.d/kernel/os.a
i386ld fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to unix
ERROR: Can not link-edit unix
Any ideas?

The only references I can find to stack_growth_threshold are in
/etc/conf/pack.d/kernel/space.c and os.a
grep -n stack_growth space.c
901:* If stack_growth_threshold is 0, references to stack addresses more
906:* Setting stack_growth_threshold to a value greater than zero will
907:* result in references to at least stack_growth_threshold bytes below
914:int stack_growth_threshold = 0x4000;
What do you get?

It didn't appear in space.c, which, of course, was the problem. The real
questions is, I guess, why not? The space.c file appeared to have been
updated by the mp4 install. Did you download mp4, or get it through update?

update?
I downloaded it as a tar archive from ftp.sco.com, for what it's worth.
I would try uninstalling MP4, and then reinstalling it immediately. Perhaps
it will "take" better on the 2nd try.

Apparently "stack_growth" was a previous patch to the space.c file that
somehow got lost prior to applying MP4. I compared it to another 5.0.7 MP3
system, added it back in manually, and then linked without incident. Very
strange, but all is well now. Thanks, Bob.

See SCO TA# 126252. It fixes the problem. The remove and reinstall does not work.
