Now with that said, I don't know what the error here is and can only suggest building with a fresh src.conf including only the things you absolutely need and trying that. Barring that, the baby step suggestion going from 12 -> 13 -> 14 as stated is certainly good advice. ~Paul --=20 __________________ :(){ :|:& };:
