Oracle 9 ProC precompiler segfault while reading pcsus.msb

I'm trying to compile an old piece of software which includes the use of the ProC pre-compiler for Oracle.

This software runs using Oracle 9 under Solaris 10, and uses the proc tool to convert .proc files to .c files before the real compiler runs to conver the .c to .o

When I try to run proc for any of the .proc files this happens.

# /avacm/nproducts//oracle/source/solaris_2.9/9.2/bin/proc define=__sun  define=PRE_COMP  code=ansi_c  mode=oracle  def_sqlcode=yes  threads=yes  include=/usr/include  include=../../../../../include  include=../../../../../include/rpcsvc  include=../../../../../aam/include  include=../../../../../aam/libs/libavaora/include datahost.proc

I then tries using truss to see what is actually happening.

   # truss -vall -wall -fall /avacm/nproducts//oracle/source/solaris_2.9/9.2/bin/proc define=__sun  define=PRE_COMP  code=ansi_c  mode=oracle  def_sqlcode=yes  threads=yes  include=/usr/include  include=../../../../../include  include=../../../../../include/rpcsvc  include=../../../../../aam/include  include=../../../../../aam/libs/libavaora/include datahost.proc

What I understand of this, is that while reading the pcsus.msb file, some string handling went wrong and it segfaulted.

I tried using different pcsus.msb files I found online, and some gave out different errors, but I cannot make it work.

The pstrack output of the core file does not help much either.

Any pointers I can try to fix this?

Thanks, Javier

I was able to get a fresh Oracle 9i installation and its proc returned an error regarding "lloff_t":

PCC-S-02201, Encountered the symbol "lloff_t" when expecting one of the following

And I found a solution here:

http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/59837/2/

Which is to add -D__sparc to the proc command line.
