hi all,

i created one RPC specification file ( .x) , compiled it using rpcgen protocol compiler. It created a .h file, client stub and server stub.. it DID'NT produce the XDR file.
$ rpcgen msg.x
$ ls

msg.x msg_svc.c msg.h msg_clnt.c


when i compile the same .x file on sunos it produces all the files.. I need this XDR file for the RPC client as the RPC server is using it..

Is their any way to produce the xdr files on linux platform..

urgent help needed...

okeysss.. i found out what my mistake was..
since i was trying out a dummy example i didnt define any data types( stuctures) for the rpc.. if no input or out put data satructures is defined then rpcgen will not produce XDR files....
