If you really have to do this (I had 16M RAM so I had no problem) I'd suggest making a hints file that does the right thing, or just hacking ccflags to notice those files and give different commands. >> 10. make test. >> failed at dbm and lib/big. I posted about this a couple of months ago. The dbm failures are not a problem (if you look closely, perl is checking file names explicitly, and the BSD dbm is a funky one that only uses one file and calls it something different...) However, the lib/big failures *are* a problem, they apparently indicate some major floating point lossage (even on my system which is a real 486...) _Mark_ <eichin@athena.mit.edu> MIT Student Information Processing Board Cygnus Support <eichin@cygnus.com>
