Benoît said I should use the dev version which is why I am trying to build trunk. I must say I am a little thrown by the minor version number being so significant. Is it normal here for example that stable 3.5.4 has broken features that are fixed in 3.5.90 ? Many thanks for your help and I hope my build log gives you enough info to fix building from trunk. John P.S. My installation of Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS is a pretty clean install that is only about 4 weeks old on this machine. One other thing, I am concerned with, is how much noise I am generating and if I am going to be using daily builds might there be a danger of generating unnecessary additional noise caused by partial commit side effects ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want excitement?
