Hi, I'm having some problems getting the top utility to run on a particular machine (a self-built PII). I initially did a binary install of 4.0 from the CD, which worked fine except for top, which returned: top: nlist failed I then upgraded the machine to a recent verion of STABLE from cvsupped source, rebuilt the kernel etc. and tried top again. I'm still getting the same error. Another FreeBSD box built from the exact same source code has no problems, so I think it's specific to the machine itself. Initially, I thought it was some sort of not rebuilding the kernel after an installworld type thing, but I've rebuilt the kernel several times now :-( The only other thing which doesn't work properly on the affected box is uemacs, which will always core dump when trying to open a file: elf% uemacs Makefile [Function key window ON]Segmentation fault(core dumped) elf% (uemacs will actually launch fine if no argument is provided, but falls over when trying to access a file) Again, this was a problem with both the original 4.0 install and the rebuilt system. Does anyone have any pointers or tips for how I can diagnose the problem for myself?
