I strongly suspect that the test program you used for this experiment has nothing to do with PPL 0.11.2:

$ wget ftp.cs.unipr.it:/pub/ppl/releases/0.11.2/ppl-0.11.2.tar.bz2

That *is* what I am using now.

Sorry .. I'll have to dig into this later .. like next week. Thus far however I have put too much time into it this weekend and still have never seen ppl compile and work once, ever, in the last few years it has never worked even once on a standard Solaris server.

I have reports that PPL 0.11.2 works fine on Solaris. If you have indications to the contrary, please use the issue-tracking system. Before doing so, it may be useful to read http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html

That is a very poor track record given that I can generally make most things work well on Solaris. Very very frustrating to work with ppl but I'll take another crack at it .. next week.

Feel free to consult the issue-tracking system and the archives of this very mailing list. You will discover that the set of people who found working with the PPL "frustrating" is a singleton: just you.

I am not replying to your other message, which is insulting, unprofessional, and reflects poorly on you and on Blastwave.org. I advise you to conduct future insult slinging in private messages rather than on a public list.
