Not quite, Greg. Normally I know what to do when proc.h has been changed (ps/w etc. weirdnesses) but in this case I'm not sure whether building a new kernel (3.0-current) and booting it on top of a set of (up to then) 2.2.2-binaries would be a could remedy here. I will more likely follow the advice of your forespeaker, namely excluding the termcap subdir from the worldbuild. > > Greg -- Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
