I just core dumps at random places. It sounds weird, since | it's only a compilation and not a runtime library, but it's been happening | since last night. This really doesn't make any sense (at least as a software problem). If the *compilation* was going to dump core it would surely be based on the system running, not the code it's compiling. Indeed, your explanations sound inconsistent. We'd stand a much better job of guessing what's going on if you could possibly type in some actually error messages, or ideally the atually log of the section of the make where it fails. -- Brian, the man from Babble-On . . . . bts@babbleon.org (personal) http://www.babbleon.org http://www.eff.org http://www.programming-freedom.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
