("-g -Wall" in the CFLAGS environment variable), then step through the application with gdb. shell$ CFLAGS="-g -Wall" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local ... If you don't know how to use gdb, make a tarball of the core file and your configuration files. Post the URL for the tarball to the list or send the tarball to my email address. Please don't send large attachments to the list if you can help it. ;-) -- Chad Walstrom http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */
