I decided to cvsup the source tree today and make world but hit a big snag. I therefore beg to take this chance to seek your advise/help on regaining the system. When I do make buildworld I end up with gibberish and this error: /usr/bin/tbl: 104: Syntax error: ";" unexpected groff: troff: Segmentation fault (core dumped) *** Error code 3 ..And I get this message so many times on the console.. n 2 20:36:57 alouette /kernel: pid 56184 (troff), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Jan 2 20:36:57 alouette /kernel: pid 56202 (troff), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Jan 2 20:36:58 alouette /kernel: pid 56220 (troff), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Jan 2 20:36:58 alouette /kernel: pid 56243 (troff), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Jan 2 20:36:58 alouette /kernel: pid 56261 (troff), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Jan 2 20:36:58 alouette /kernel: pid 56279 (troff), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Jan 2 20:36:59 alouette /kernel: pid 56297 (troff), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) I've not changed any config in the system and I've done make build/installworld before without any problems. Could someone kindly advise me on what the cause of this could be? Is there something I have to do? On top of this, I cannot access any man pages anymore. Any attempt to man some command either just beeps and gives gibberish or gives an empty screen. alouette# uname -a FreeBSD alouette.iconnect.co.ke 4.2-STABLE FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #0: Sat Dec 23 13:14:01 EAT 2000 wash@alouette.iconnect.co.ke:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ALOUETTE i 386 I've even manually deleted /usr/obj and tried redoing make buildworld and still end up at the same place with so many beeps, gibberish then the error above.
