Do you have the > "delete" option turned on in your supfile? I turns out this is indeed the case... after trying a thousand things to get a clean 'make world', the only thing that worked in the end was in fact nuking the entire /usr/src tree and re-cvsup'ing it. I do have "delete" specified in my supfile, but it obviously doesn't do what I thought it should :-) The only other thing that was "required" was getting a new copy of the include files for /usr/include. I assumed that cvsup did (c) above, when it doesn't. Oh well. Too bad really - since the only reasons I did install the source from the 2.2.1 CD is so I woulnd't have to wait so long for my modem to suck down the *entire* src-all tree :-) Live and learn. -Mark > > Jordan -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com RingZero Comp. http://vinyl.quickweb.com/mark finger mark@quickweb.com for my PGP key and GCS code ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- University degrees are a bit like adultery: you may not want to get involved with that sort of thing, but you don't want to be thought incapable. -Sir Peter Imbert
