Remember that the code you are compiling is not compatible with the code you are compiling with. In this case, (and the many others like it that will follow), hunt down the library that (now) has the missing symbols and rebuild it by hand. The whole exercise is a train smash, it is not fun and it is not for the faint at heart. In some cases you will have to (by hand): a) rebuild libraries b) rebuild utilities c) grovel through source code to find out what the $#@! is going on. Remember that a _bunch_ of us have -current systems, but we all are compiling _on_ current. This does not mean we do not get burnt. When it happens, sleuth it down, fix it by hand, and if it was a bug, report it to bugs@... When in doubt, also remember what -current is _for_. It is not to get the latest-and-greatest. It is to beta-test and _hack_ on, which implies you know enough about source code to do one or the other (or both). Good Luck! In this case you need to rebuild the gnu libraries (I think this one is libdialog). It will not hurt to build them all. It may not work first time, as some utilities need to be built first, which need some libraries... M -- Mark Murray 46 Harvey Rd, Claremont, Cape Town 7700, South Africa +27 21 61-3768 GMT+0200
