I just installed the new patches 84-110. I ran into several problems. 1. config did core dump because of the "#" in several files like file.i386, devices ... I deleted all comments and config worked again. 2. Either I did miss something or there is a bug in patch00089. I tried to recompile libc (atof.c was changed by this patch) and got the following output: /usr/src/lib/libc/i386/stdlib/atof.c: In function strtod: /usr/src/lib/libc/i386/stdlib/atof.c:156: warning: assignment of non-const * pointer from const * cc: Program cc1 got fatal signal 6. *** Error code 1 I know that in the new patches there was a patch which clamed to correct the fatal signal 6 error. So here is my question: Do I have to recompile something before getting rid of the signal 6 error or is there a bug in atof.c ?? - Peter 8*) --- /--------------------------------------------------------\ | Peter Burgstaller| Student of Computerscience | | (peter@cosy.sbg.ac.at)| in Salzburg, Austria (Europe) | | "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish" (Douglas Adams) | \--------------------------------------------------------/
