Hello Ken, Just to add a little to the point of valgrind documentation failure for pdf, I installed the latest version of texlive as there was a new version of the binary installer the past couple weeks or so. Not sure that it is relevant, but I have one other package that for now I will not say which one that would not build without hacking the configure.ac to prevent it from adding an error warning that caused the build to fail and was working fine with gcc-4.9.1. I will know for sure soon if it is gcc at fault as I am going to be re-building yet another system. If the same error comes up I will post about it, though I will add instructions to systemd branch even if they do not end up in trunk because I will know for certain that it is a bug. I have yet to install texlive without the binary installer. I was waiting for you to find all the errors/bugs and get rid of them before I did. :) Regards, Christopher. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
