Re: Package to give away/orphan: GNU acct
Hi Thomas, Thomas I am still using an acct_6.3.2-2_i386.deb package that I Thomas compiled on a 2.1.96 kernel. It works fine with the 2.2 kernel Thomas series for me. Thanks, that is another good data point. Which version of glibc are you running / did you compile against? Glibc 2.0 or 2.1 ? Thanks, Dirk -- According to the latest figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless.

Robert [sorry for not getting to this message sooner] No sweat. Dirk GNU acct is still broken for 2.2 kernels. I thought a recompile would Dirk fix it, but it doesn't. Robert Not true: [..] Well, that is good news. I _thought_ I had it working as well. Maybe I just messed up on which of my two machines I was running it?

However: compare_kernel_version 2.2 || echo Died trying says Died trying, where it should stop with the compare_kernel_version. The error appears to be the value of the return status, not the logic of is this kernel , =, this number.

Re: Package to give away/orphan: GNU acct
Hi, GNU acct is still broken for 2.2 kernels. I thought a recompile would fix it, but it doesn't. The upstream author, with whom I generally had very good (albeit sporadic) contact is MIA. AFAICT the other dists don't distribute acct. I am still using an acct_6.3.2-2_i386.deb package that I compiled on a 2.1.96 kernel. It works fine with the 2.2 kernel series for me. Regards, Thomas
