Umm- In freebsd it's all in /usr/obj somewhere- no symlinks, so you can do the following: sys a: /usr/obj (local) /usr/src nfs sys b: /usr/obj (local) /usr/src nfs It turns out that /usr/obj/usr/src/sbin/dhclient on the FreeBSD-i386 machine was missing- which is odd because the buildworld/installworld pair should have it there- it's there for the FreeBSD-alpha machine, so something got broken- but clearly this is isn't a generic case issue- just that something wierd happened. What, I don't know, but tonite's build will see what transpires. I run nightly's for both alpha && i386 (buildworld- not installworld)- and the success rate is >75%. -matt On Thu, 11 Feb 1999, Curt Sampson wrote: > On Thu, 11 Feb 1999, Matthew Jacob wrote: > > > Umm- I have a /usr/src shared by an alpha && an i386.
