This list at the time attributed it to a hardware issue, probably faulty memory. Try doing a make clean, to clean up everything, and try again. If the make fails at a different place each time, then its definatly a hardware problem. My solution was to try doing the make over, and over, and after about 10 tries it got all the way through. (which was frustrating because it did take over 7 hours to complete if I remember correctly) Regards, Jacob Jacob Rhoden Phone: +61 3 8344 6102 ITS Division Email: jrhoden@unimelb.edu.au Melbourne University Mobile: +61 403 788 386 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the messagehelp
