Not completely. The machine where I observed this has /sw/src/fink.build inside a mounted disk image that is formatted with HFS+ case sensitive. I first thought that this was the problem, but then I ran the little script outside, on a standard case insensitive HFS+(journaled) partition, and the same thing happened. This was on a dual G5. Then on the G4 powerbook I am typing this on, with a single 100GB partition (10GB free), formatted standard HFS+, the same thing happened. On 2 iMacs, one ppc G5 and another one intel C2D, there was no problem (apart from, as I mentioned, getting rid of the nested directories that 'rm -rf' doesn't want to touch). All these machines run MacOSX 10.4.9 and have more or less the same Fink installation and use the same system perl. I have not yet found anything significant that links the 2 machines where the failure happens and sets them apart from the others where it doesn't happen. Googling hasn't reveiled anything yet either. Here is another point: When I get the failure with my little perl script, and I cd into the deepest level (30 floors down), then any "mkdir" command will give the error, where "mkdir" can be /sw/bin/mkdir from coreutils or /bin/mkdir. The directory will actually be created, despite the error message. Funnily, perl mkdir did not give the error message when I just tried. Also "mkdir -p a" does not give the error message, although "mkdir a" does. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
