I'm on a new Dell i5 machine, stable, straight amd64 profile. I tried makeopts -j1 in depseration; doesn't help. The gzipped buildlog is attached. While I'm at it, I tried viewing the gzipped attachment, and got the following error message... No applications found for mimetype: inode/symlink What am I doing wrong? It shows as application/octet-stream. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
