Care to attach config.log?
The relevant config.log part: ==== configure:1950: checking for getloadavg configure:1978: gcc -o conftest -g -O0 -rdynamic conftest.c -lncurses -ldl 1>&5 configure:2004: checking whether select() modifies the time value configure:2027: gcc -o conftest -g -O0 -rdynamic conftest.c -lncurses -ldl 1>&5 configure: In function 'main': configure:2021: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'exit' configure: failed program was: #line 2009 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/time.h> #include <unistd.h> int main() { int retval; fd_set rfds; struct timeval tv = {1, 0}; FD_ZERO(&rfds); FD_SET(0,&rfds); select(1,&rfds,0,0,&tv); if(tv.tv_sec == 0) exit(0); else exit(1); } configure:2044: checking whether sysctl() can be used ==== I think what the problem is that it's trying to use stdin and get a read failure when trying to build on the buildd. I think it actually points to /dev/null or something. When trying the test program, and redirecting stdin to /dev/null I atleast get the same behaviour. (The warning is because you don't #include <stdlib.h>.) Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
