Today I installed on several test machines the new linux_base-7 in conjunction with the recent cvsupdate as done this morning (MESZ/CEST). The following week we want to test the new suite with our installed Fotran 90/95 Compilers (Lahey F95 5.5 for Linux and PGI HPF) but I saw several problems occuring too early to go ahead testing the suite. Very often I get errors, I got in the past with several Fortran programs running over NFS in Linux emulation (getcwd errors). Today I installed the new base-7 (it has been modified since yesterday) with a kernel and base system compiled yesterday evening. This error occurs: shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Numerical result out of range Several other Linux programs do not work anymore or produce strange errors. Netscape 4.78 is unable to startup due the lack of a library (I think ths lib is found in base 6.1, but I do not dare to mix up both because I do not know how). Opera 5 for Linux is unable to save files because it reports an getcwd error or similar - Opera tries to save files into a home dir which is NFS/NIS exported. Are these problems common and known? Is it possible to mix linux_base and linux_base-7 together to get old clients running? Is it possible to use linux_devtools AND linux_base-7 from the ports together or is devtool linux_base 6.1 related? Thanks in advance, Oliver -- MfG O.
