It seems like it does not use Sys5 IPC at all or at least does not make calls looking like it. It uses an unix-domain socket with long name in /tmp and it seems to work OK (reads and writes through it show up in ktrace). I have even found out why the setup starts: because this clever program calls the setup script. The only question left is why does it do that ? :-( I also have no java support installed. From the message it gave during setup it looked like the java support was optional but not I start thinking whether could it cause this infinite setup. By the way, the exact version I'm trying to install seems to be 5.17, at least all the libraries have *517* in their names. Maybe this also makes some difference. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
