I just tried to build it, and it's behaviour is the same as you described ir - loops forever at configure and test fails at make check. I think it was Andy that added it, and to be honest, I have no idea what's it for. If you think it's worth keeping, then okay. Otherwise, drop it, I have no need for it especially if it hasn't been maintained in such long time. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
