Clive has been tested on Linux/i386, FreeBSD/i386 and NetBSD/sparc. It requires specific library functions which are not available on older systems, notably gethostbyname(), asprintf() and vasprintf(). To report bugs, please rebuild clive with './configure --enable-DEBUG' and run the program to reproduce the problem (if possible). Send the output with debug info to and explain what you were doing and what kind of system you use. Remember to obscure your password from the debug output...
