problems with path variable ( i think)
 

hi,
i have written a program in C, which runs perfect under Kubuntu on my PC.
this program is a uni assignment, so i tried to run it under the uni Planet server, but then i encounter some difficulties...

the assignment is about writing new wrapper function instead of open and read syscalls.
so when i write:
int fd=wrapper_open("config.txt",O_RDONLY,S_IRWXO);
and,while ((read = wrapper_read(fd,buf,1000)) > 0 )
{
...
}
under my Kubuntu works perfect.

but then under Planet it exists on errno:
EFAULT - buf is outside your accessible address space.

i guess its about the variable path.
is it?

p.s. config.txt is a file i wroted and i have the right permissions to read.
PATH is : [ /u/y2006/navehs/bin:/usr/local/bin:/Common/All/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/java/default/bin:/u/y2006/navehs/bin:. ]
under Planet server

Hi, welcome to LQ!

Where/how is buf defined?



Cheers,
Tink

well, it was defined by a local array, but then i changed it to a pointer, and it worked perfect.

thx!
