My piece of the jigsaw: I had exactly the same problem. Working my way through the over-the-counter remedies I too reached the rm -rf /usr/obj/* stage. Actually, I cd to /usr/obj and rm -rf *. It refuses to remove several leaf files, citing "Operation not permitted" (errno 1 I assume). But I'm root! As it happens, I keep /usr/obj on a separate filesystem connected up by a symlink. So I unmount the sucker, clri these odd files, fsck the thing back to normal, remount and do the rm -rf. This is where it gets interesting: the build still fails in exactly the same way. There are no unremovable files below /usr/obj now, but this time I blow away the directory which is the target of my /usr/obj symlink as well as points south (and remake the directory, of course). Now everything works. Wierd or what? -- Bob Bishop (0118) 977 4017 international code +44 118 rb@gid.co.uk fax (0118) 989 4254 between 0800 and 1800 UK
