It fails while building v86d. Looking at the or statement, it should probably close after (file-exists? "/dev/fb0") and then the whole thing wrapped in a when or an if. I checked and /dev/fb0 doesn't exist on my machine. Actually that didn't make a difference, it still tried to build v86d. Even changing the '(or (not' to '(if (and (and' it still tries to build v86d. My guess is that it's not evaluating the conditionals until it's time to run the service so it makes sure v86d is there. -- Efraim Flashner <efr...@flashner.co.il> אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted
