Could people please STOP spreading this myth that all Signal 11's during 'make world' are a result of hardware problems. It is highly misleading. How would you feel if you acted on this advice and shelled out your hard-earned cash for new hardware only to find that it was a software problem after all? The chances are that if a signal occurs as the result of running a particular program (in this case 'troff'), it's likely to be the version of that program or a shared library on which it depends that is broken somehow on the user's machine, not the user's hardware. You could try manually recompiling and installing 'troff' et al. (located in the directory /usr/src/contrib/groff) then rerunning 'make world'. -- Keith Jones E-Business Service Introduction, GBIT-EMEA (Bristol) E: keith_jones@non.hp.com T: [+44 117] 312-7602 I don't speak for Hewlett-Packard.
