From: "Robert Nee" To: "Keith Seitz" , Cc: Subject: Re: insight/179 (was Re: libiberty? (fwd)) Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2002 17:11:59 -0400 All, I tried (thru YAST2) to replace glibc-devel (CD ROM)- didn't help (By the way, /usr/include/sys/wait.h files etc exist) I sftp'ed another package,which compiled OK on the old working 8.0 install computer -"UPS" to the new computer. This failed to compile in much the same way on the new computer, i.e. could not "find" ANSI header files and files that are in the directory. So I have a broken install somehow, so I tried (thru YAST2) to replace every installed package (DVD) - didn't help. This implied to me that some configuration file contents are screwing up the configure file generation, so I re-installed everything over again - this time from a reformated harddisk partition. Insight compiles correctly now. After all of these iterations, much like the movie "Lola rennt", I have a happy ending.
