What Andrew is saying is that the end-user should never even get the error in the first place, let alone be confused by it. This only came up because the HOWTO recommended using ./configure.developer. Andrew has now changed the HOWTO to recommend "./configure --enable-debug --enable-selftest". That will apparently cause the ABI checks to be skipped, so the user will not see these errors. -- Michael Wood <esiot...@gmail.com> -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
