Hello Openbsd, I have been using Openbsd for a couple of years now as a router/firewall machine. I access the openbsd machine from one of the machines behind, via ssh on the lan. I do the rebuilds of the kernel and userland discussed below "over the wire".
Whenever the buglist requires, I recompile the kernel and userland following the procedures in the FAQ. I have managed to do this procedure, without incident, about 6 or 8 times during the life of Version 5.9, 6.0 and now 6.1. When I first installed Version 6.1, shortly after release, I did the procedure just to make sure all my configurations were working ok - successfully. After the short list of bugs appeared for Version 6.1 I tried to rebuild the kernel and userland. The kernel compilation and installation works fine but the userland compile halts with an error. I have attached the part of the compilation output that shows the error. See attached text file OBSD6_1_compilefail.txt I was careful to ensure that /usr/obj was owned by build:wobj with permissions 770. I also manually deleted everything in the subdirectory as root using "rm -r eachdir" I have tried the kernel and userland rebuild several times, and have erased the source and re-downloaded a couple of times and get the same result when compiling the new kernel (success!) and rebuilding userland (failure!). Any help would be greatly appreciated. John Watts Cranbrook, BC
