Yes, that is a bug *while running* make. Perhaps we should rename the mailing list to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or otherwise try to indicate in the error message that this isn't likely to be a bug in make. Perhaps we're doomed though. For one thing, this bug looks unlikely to be a bug in lprng, which is where we'd have tried to send the user if we'd have tried to automatically suggest where the bug is.
I'd have to suspect a gcc misconfiguration, which might be diagnosed with the help of the suggestion here: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc/2006-01/msg00221.html Or an assembler bug which might have been already reported here: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3830 My five minutes of googling didn't turn up a more certain or complete answer, I'm afraid. All I can tell you for sure is that it isn't a bug in make. I downloaded the Debian source for lprng and I couldn't see any obvious assembler, specifically not in linksupport.c, so I don't think you've got an lprng-specific problem, unless lprng is somehow using the wrong gcc or assembler. I didn't find anything in google suggesting that anyone's seen this before with lprng, which suggests it's more likely something peculiar to your system or a bug in a different package (like gcc or gas). Sorry, but I don't think we can help you any further on this list. Good luck. ------------------------------------- Martin's Outlook, BlueArc Engineering ________________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Raheja, Himanshu Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2007 8:52 To: bug-make@gnu.org Subject: BUG while running the make file Hi, I am trying to Install LPRng on my Red Hat Linux Box (x86_64).
