Thanks very much!
Well, the packaging looks ok, and the binaries appear to work after a bit of crude smoke-testing, but I can't successfully rebuild from source. I've tried on two different systems now (both fairly up-to-date), and they've both hung up at this stage: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Making all in vmalloc make[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/volker/graphviz/rebuild/graphviz-2.18-1/build/lib/vmalloc' mkdir -p ../../FEATURE /tmp/volker/graphviz/rebuild/graphviz-2.18-1/src/graphviz-2.18/iffe - set cc gcc : run /tmp/volker/graphviz/rebuild/graphviz-2.18-1/src/graphviz-2.18/lib/vmalloc/fea tures/vmalloc > ../../FEATURE/vmalloc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- In each case there was a stuck exe running, "FALBA2320.exe" for one and FUBIK-something-or-other on the other. The stuck exe was using zero cpu and just sitting there indefinitely. Running it manually at the command-line didn't stall. The sh.exe that invoked the iffe script is still alive but also stalled. After killing the exe, the shell wakes up and carries on with the build. The FALBA2320.c test was checking for the presence of strdup and sure enough it doesn't seem to appear in any of the feature test macros in build/FEATURE/vmalloc. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today....
