Hello Ana Guerrero! You reported that tdb built for you. Did you build on sparc?
My blind initial analysis of this problem: The problem seems to exists in the sparc detection code. Spinlocks are enabled in debian/rules for sparc, but this doesn't catch case "$host_cpu" in sparc) AC_DEFINE(SPARC_SPINLOCKS) ;; in configure.in ... If it did catch then spinlock.h would not give the error message: #if defined(SPARC_SPINLOCKS) typedef volatile char spinlock_t; /* <snip> */ #else #error Need to implement spinlock code in spinlock.h #endif It would be nice to know what $host_cpu is actually set to when building on sparc. FWIW, tdb builds fine for me on amd64... -- Regards, Andreas Henriksson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
