Almost certainly, yes. A lot of handwritten Makefiles (i.e., not generated by automake) do not handle parallel jobs well. You'll just have to work around this one by dropping the -j4. Also, instead of aliasing make, you can use the variable MAKEFLAGS to store your options for make. export MAKEFLAGS="-j4" make # buggy makefile that needs workaround make -j1 -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
