It didn't help. If you looked at the errors I attached, you would notice that my problems were with compiling gcc itself. If I went in by hand and did the rest of the steps, then things went through fine. I suspect it had something to do with includes or libs, but am not sure what exactly. What is interesting is that after I removed the 4.0-S src tree and reinstalled the 4.0-R source tree, I had the same problem with that, whereas before I ever cvsupped to 4.0-S, 4.0-R compiled cleanly I could probably replicate the problem again, but don't particularly want to, as I have plenty of other problems to deal with on the same machine, relating to X and to the touchpad. -- Dr Graham Wheeler E-mail: gram@cequrux.com Director, Research and Development WWW: http://www.cequrux.com CEQURUX Technologies Phone: +27(21)423-6065 Firewalls/VPN Specialists Fax: +27(21)424-3656 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
