I'm afraid I only have a vague idea. Certainly part of what Sheldon was sorting out was C vs C++, and just general "build problems". With his patches I was able to compile and install imake. I was able to compile XFree86-4-libraries, but the 'make install' of it fails for me after getting most of the way through. I suspect this is a build problem, not a cc problem. I was not able to compile XFree86-4-Server, as I ran into the same compiler error that Maxim reported. Or at least, it looked about the same. After that build failed, I happened to retry the same build (again with the patches Sheldon had recommended) after setting CPUTYPE=i686 in /etc/make.conf. This time the build succeeded, and I was able to install it. At that point I can start XDM, and everything seems fine until I try to log into XDM. At that point, my machine instantly reboots. I have no idea why, but I suspect that the incomplete 'make install' of XFree86-4-libraries probably does not help... It could easily be million other things, too. That's how much I had figured out as of 4am this morning... -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
