I can try a parallel build later on one of mine and see if I have the same issue. Its possible that it may be broken. I merged that update from trunk. How many jobs were you running at a time? I am awaiting a new motherboard for the one that does most of my parallel stuff, but I can run -j2 on my other development system.

I just rebuilt my workstation last week and didn't have this problem. I should probably take a look at a trunk build and see what makes that file get installed over there. > Most of these may just be issues with my system (or perhaps I skipped > something by accident) and not the book, but I wanted to pass along the > information. > Thank you for letting us know! While some of these problems could just be issues with your system, if things are happening with yours, chances are that they are happening with others. Douglas R. Reno
