After several more attempts at building, all resulting in failed compiles of ACG.cc in libg++, I blew away my cvsup'ed source and re-installed 2.2.5-RELEASE from CD. Then I found out that the source that built 1 week ago (I have the timestamps to prove it) doesn't build anymore! Still failing in ACG.cc (although when building that file by had it compiles). The build fails reminded me of problem in Linux with signal 11 caused by bad memory/cache/mb. So i pulled out my memory, cleaned the edge connectors with alcohol, and plugged 'em back in. Result, sucessfull build! I cvsup'ed -stable and got a perfect build again! The only thing that has happened to the system between then and now is I took it to a friends place (by car) to play network games. So I think this has disturbed the SIMM connectors somehow. So sorry for wasting peoples time with this. And congrats to core on providing a good OS that really builds perfectly! :^) P.S. Something to consider, a "make diff" in the etc directory would be cool to check out what has changed. I knocked up a little script to generate a diff of all files so I could merge in changes. With Squid I have the following proceedure on upgrades... 1) diff squid.config.default squid.config >local.diff 2) build + install squid 3) cp squid.config.default squid.config 4) patch -s -p0
