It failed once during that compile, then the second time it worked just fine. I then did my own config cutting out all the stuff I don't need and it's compiled just fine. Strange... Thinking about it, this is the only time I've got the sources from the CD. I always grabbed them from an ftpe server via sysinstall, maybe the newer sources were causing problems like the guys mentioned earlier? Got a version of MemTest86 running too and that went for a couple of hours without any errors showing up, will run it overnight to be sure. I guess the next thing is to have a go at make buildworld with options in make.conf and see if it barfs then. Thanks for the help. :-) Paul
