I initially set up my machine (yeah, a pentium) with 3.2 release. Then I ran a cvsup to 3.5-STABLE (this is the most current version of 3, correct?). The make world went perfectly. I followed the directions to the letter in the FreeBSD handbook. Only initial problem I had at first was the /var partition filled up 'cause the output script got too big. Putting the script over to /usr/tmp solved that problem. Rebuilding the kernel went fine. Using mergemaster went fine. Rebooting went fine. Everything went fine. But now, whenever I try to use, say, BitchX or netscape, I get segmentation faults/core dumps, or bus errors. These happen about 8 times out of ten when I try to run these programs. I tried downloading the new ircii package, got an error message I was missing some shared libraries. Again I did the make world process first with a # make -DNOPROFILE=true buildworld # make -DNOPROFILE=true installworld If I redid a make with a # make buildworld # make installworld would this get rid of the core dumps and bus errors? Or, if I just installed version 4.1, would that be a better idea? again, absolutely no problems with the original install of 3.2. This has to be something to do with the update. please email me directly at mol666@yahoo.com thanks much, in advance, for your help! --alissa __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
