I had the exact same problem, and in my case, at least, it seems to be because part of the kernel was compiled with egcs (in /usr/local/bin). Anyway, the problem went away when I made sure that /usr/local/bin was last in the path and did a "config -r". The lesson to be learnt from this: there's a difference between "su" and "su -". From now on, I'm going to make damned sure that I use "su -". //Raymond. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
