Bus Error problem solved

2000-11-24 Thread Marcus Brinkmann
Hi, the ping Bus Error aka db_open problem is solved. libnss-db shipped with a broken libtool which drps inter-lib depends from the library. I am uploading libnss-db_2.2-1 which fixes this right now. BTW, the latest glibc doesn't depend on libnss-db, so my idea to first update the base and then

Compiling PostgreSQL and System V IPC

I tried to build PostgreSQL 7.0.2 on Hurd. The build failed ultimately because the System V IPC functions aren't supported on Hurd. I'd like to know where I could find information on the level of support in Hurd for UNIX system calls. I read somewhere that Hurd is POSIX compliant but to what level

This feature is fully implemented on the Hurd side, but we are not certain on the best default (active or use "other" bits), and tools like chmod, ls need to be changed. So the work has to be done in fileutils etc. Marcus Am Fre, 24 Nov 2000 16:55:19 schrieb Robert Marlow: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNE

Hi all, cross-install is broken, as was reported by several people in the last days. To be more specific, it doesn't match the current ftp archive. I am going to work on it, but it will take a couple of more days, because I want to update all the base packages to the latest version before fixing
