Re: Hercules 3.05 announcement
I built 3.05 on SUSE 10.2 x64. Running Suse s390x, my compile test went from 7+ hours to just under 3 hours. Well done!

I expect the RPM installs would require less tweaking when built for the target platform. I would be willing to build on CentOS 5 for example, but for some reason the resulting module breaks with segment faults during IPL.

Re: Hercules 3.05 announcement
Thanks much, Jay! (and company) It took a lllooonnnggg time to build. (Though I build ALL packages on one of the older boxes so that said package will then run on all boxes in the house.) I get a seg fault when IPLing. When using 'strace' it appears to be after several futex() calls, the last one being ... futex(0x4045f4b8, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call) Am rebuilding in case it was just a fluke of the build system. -- R; -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
