ksh for ia64
Hi,
Does anyone know if there is an ia64 pdksh rpm available anywhere, Or has been able to compile, and run pdksh success fully?
Thank you,

I just compiled it and it coredumps immediately. Looks like the package needs some work.

It's on my to-do list as ksh is needed for some of our products.
For interaction, bash may be sufficient -- it has been for me, a long-time, expert, ksh user. If you prefer vi editing, put "set editing-mode vi" in your ~/.inputrc file. While bash isn't KSH-88 conformant (pdksh isn't either), it does have many features that make it quite acceptable.
For my scripting, bash's typeset command is fairly limited and print doesn't exist; but other features, such as command substition, e.g., $( ... ), substrings of variables, e.g., ${0##*/}, and compound if, e.g., [[ ... ]], work as expected.
