The fix is trivial: [description of possible fix snipped] As I've stated several times and as you most certainly know I'm not developer. What are you trying to accomplish by the phrase "then fix it"? Put me down, eh? I have encountered this problem several times and for the first time the message about unresolved symbol(s) made no sense and forced me to do time consuming searches over the 'Net to get a clue what's going on. Will we want to get possible users using FreeBSD or will we want argue about it to death? The users get bored and move on, that's it. -- Vallo Kallaste kalts@estpak.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
