Here's the scenario: I installed 4.9R via FTP with the Developer option from the setup menu...the one that is supposed to have all sources, binaries, et al., and presumably all libs and tools needed for compiling code. (Someone clue me in here...I'm new at this so maybe I'm off base.) I got the new clean system up to the shell and CVSup'd for SRC-ALL and PORTS-ALL. >From there I ran 'make all install clean distclean' under XFree86-4 to compile X. The first time I had only CVSup'd for PORTS-ALL and it looked to the Internet to download the source. It errored out with a slew of messages such as these: /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h:273: warning: '_POSIX_C_SOURCE' is not defined /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h:279: warning: '_POSIX_C_SOURCE' is not defined Then it listed an internal compiler error, did a core dump and exited from its task. I thought the source it was looking up on the Internet might be either incomplete or incorrect so I then CVSup'd for SRC-ALL and tried again. It started out fine finding the source locally...looked peachy and then the same thing happened as listed above. Same identical messages. What went wrong? Help me Obi Wan, Pat Burnett
