Russell Carter, you there? :) I got a pretty nasty one sitting here that Rod put together for me, but I can't get the lmbench stuff working. I don't have time to mess around with it either, so if it doesn't work I'm not going to take the time to figure it out. Even minimal instructions would be helpful... Hmm, I used RCS to checkout the top-level files, and it now requires something called rccs. This is really standardized. ;( Ahh, I see it requires that . is in your path. Still going. The build blew up when the Makefile attempted to copy /bin/true, which is /usr/bin/true on BSD systems. In any case, I've got it working now. I'm running it first to make sure I don't have any bogus answers, at which point I'll have it sent off to the list. Nate > Subject: New lmbench available > > > P.S. Almost forgot.
