I tried to make FF60, but soon it said 8.1's rust-1.19 was too old, I needed "at least" (IIRC) rust-1.24. Following your svn book recommendation I ran the rust-1.25 build all morning. Then coming back to FF, now when it tried to get the rust version it barfed at a library that had what appeared to be an md5sum in its name! IINODTIA I admit to having mistakenly not removed 1.19 first. Back to square one and another 47 SBUs, or can I just remove the md5sum from the name? > > For ff60, ISTR nss-3.36.1 is a minimum. Can't check on this box, but I have whatever 8.1 uses. -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
