Hi, I apologize for the long message but I figure I'd better lay out all the errors. I'm having some unusual compilation problems on a new machine I'm setting up. When I try a make depend on some code, I often get one or more of the following errors:
f77 -I./inc -cpp -g -C -c routine.F -o ./routine.o ./routine.F routine: mv: routine.c: I/O error /usr/bin/f77: routine.c: No such file or directory mv: /tmp/gc.8744: No such file or directory cc: routine.c: No such file or directory cc: No input files If it gets past this stage, I get the following after linking: f77 -cpp -g -C [all object files] -o phdst -L/usr/cern/97a/lib -lkernlib -lpacklib -lmathlib other_routine.o: file not recognized: I/O error Occasionally, I won't even get that far, since when I try a make, I get: make: getcwd: : I/O error or even Assembler messages: FATAL: Can't create some_routine.o: I/O error The specific object or source file constantly changes. That is, if I retry the make command repeatedly, it will cycle through an arbitrary number of existing object files and decide it doesn't like them. Same with linking. If I'm lucky, after 5 or 6 tries, I'll get a working executable but evidently, something's very wrong. Here are some (I think) relevant packages that I have installed: ii netbase 2.13-1 Basic TCP/IP networking binaries ii netstd 2.13-1 Networking binaries and daemons for ii f77reorder 2.25-2 f77 compiler script calling f2c/gcc. ii sed 2.05-12 The GNU sed stream editor. ii gawk 3.0.2-1 GNU awk, a pattern scanning and ii mawk 1.3.3-1 a pattern scanning and text processing Since most or all of these are from stable, I can't see why they'd be causing a problem. It looks like all of these problems are just different manifestations of the same problem (ie, Linux can't stat the file in question), but I can't imagine why it has trouble with a file and 5 seconds later *doesn't* but has trouble with *another* file. Is this the fault of nfs? I'm hoping I don't have to reinstall the entire system.... Thanks, J. Goldman -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
