Re: bus error in ps2pdf
Quoting Jonathan Nieder : Hi, Stéphane Glondu wrote: ocaml-melt currently FTBFS on sparc [1] because of a bus error provoked by ps2pdf. The bus error is easily reproduced by running ps2pdf on the file available at [2]. This bug is not present with the previous version, 8.71~dfsg2-10. Thanks for reporting it. If anyone has time on a sparc, what might be useful is apt-get build-dep ghostscript git clone git://git.ghostscript.com/ghostscript.git cd ghostscript/gs # configure to minimize features (hopefully speeding up build) ./autogen.sh -C \ --disable-fontconfig \ --disable-freetype --disable-cups --disable-gtk \ --enable-dynamic --with-system-libtiff \ --without-ijs --without-jbig2dec --without-jasper As of Ghostscript 9.00 --disable-freetype is essentially an unsupported configuration. We've switched to freetype as the default font scaler/renderer and whilst I doubt it will make a difference in this case, we're unlikely to investigate any bugs that show without freetype, but not with freetype. I'd be happy to look into this, but I don't have access to a Debian/Sparc system (my Sparc box has some hardware in it that doesn't play nice with Linux). Also, I'm not entirely sure what the status of the Ghostscript git mirror is currently - we currently use Subversion as the "canonical" source repository (not to be confused with the company behind Ubuntu!), and the person who used to look after the git mirror is no longer involved in GS development. Chris P.S. Oh yes, I'm a Ghostscript developer, by the way. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-sparc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Kernel panic on SunFire T1000 system via netboot installation

Does anyone on this list has such a system? Please contact me offlist if you know from where I can download a more recent firmware for this device. Thanks for your response!
