FYI,Just tried to build the monitor-core on an NFS mounted drive and it hung on the checking strdup... line. What happens is that it causes the local NFS server to stall and start dumping nfs server not responding messages in the system.log. You can recover by a umount -f <mount> and remount.
Pretty cool! ;) Solution -> build off a local disk. -Eric Eric Wages University of Maine Advanced Computing Research Lab 20 Godfrey Drive Orono, ME 04473 (P)(F) 207-866-6510
