I already have m4 install from Debian/Fedora packages on all my machines – I have dual boot Debian Sid and Fedora Rawhide. I don't recollect there being an Chapel GMP build fail, exactly the opposite there seemed to be a great deal of build, much more that usual for a full build. > However, since GMP=system was also giving you trouble, there may be > something more going on.

I'll open up a bug report since as you say getting the same behaviour independent of the build indicates a slightly different problem than just the Chapel build per se. > Thanks for reporting, and sorry you ran into this! No problem. I am working on the bleeding edge and must expect these things. :-) -- Russel. =========================================== Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk
