Hi folks:
I just reincarnated an SGI, fresh os install, and I compiled zsh
4.2.5 on it. It appears to have compiled (mips compiler) and
installed ok. I didn't change anything in configure. It is the
latest available revision of 6.5.x.
When I run it, I am unable to see or export environment variables.
This is a completely vanilla configuration -- no customization scripts.
If I type
print $ZSH<tab> it offers the usual completions, like it knows these
are supposed to exist, put upon completion, the variable is empty.
Similarly,
export FOO=BAR
followed by
print $FOO
prints empty space. Similarly with $PATH. ($path exists).
As a positive control, I downloaded the zsh available on
freeware.sgi.com and installed it. It is zsh-3.x.x and it works ok.
Help. I am no longer capable of using tcsh...
Thanks.
Bill Scott

I recompiled using gcc 3.3 rather than mips compilers and it
all works fine.

Is this any of the issues mentioned in the MACHINES file?
SGI: IRIX 6.2, 6.3, 6.5
[Out of date.]
Should build `out-of-the-box'.
On 6.5.2, zsh malloc routines are reported not to work; also
full optimization (cc -O3 -OPT:Olimit=0) causes problems.
If using the SGI compiler, variable length arrays need to
be turned off. configure can work this out for itself if it
is passed the option --enable-cflags='-LANG:vla=off -O' (combined
with other flags if necessary).
The zpty module is not currently supported. This causes the
tests starting `Y' in the Test directory to fail, even though
the features to be tested are working.

Hi Peter:
I neglected to post back that when I rebuilt it with gcc 3.3 rather than
mips compilers, it works fine.
Sorry

My guess is that it must have been that.
Again, sorry for not catching this.
Bill
