Unfortunately, I don’t have enough time this month, and will
be absent from tonight through Sunday, and from 19 through
25. So sorry that I won’t be able to respond quickly.
thank, truly, for the time you have given me! you seem a very giving spirit here. the world needs more people like you!
i tried ulimit -c 100000
Try configure with CFLAGS=‘-O0 -ggdb -g3’.
and i tried this. nothing seems to have changed. still no core.
And what version is your gcc?
3.3.1
As for non-standard FHS:
Well, it shouldn’t …
not necessarily. i would like to see the whole of the system abstracted away from the FHS using namespaces instead. in other words, lets say i create a file. i give this file a globally unique name like ‘www.onoma.net/mycategory/hiearchy/myfile’ or something to that effect. then that file would always be accessable by that name, even if it on another system. gobo is sort of a first step for me in that direction.
but i may skip that step if i can’t get ruby to compile!
