Hi, I've compiled varmon again with -ggdb from vanilla source. Here is the progress: hostname:~/varmon-1.2.0# make clean rm -f *.o core varmon hostname:~/varmon-1.2.0# make varmon gcc -o varmon varmon.c -Wall -lncurses -ggdb varmon.c: In function ‘get_backplane_info’: varmon.c:166: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 8 of ‘v2_SCSI_cmd’ differ in signedness varmon.c:206: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 8 of ‘v2_SCSI_cmd’ differ in signedness varmon.c:234: warning: pointer targets in assignment differ in signedness varmon.c: In function ‘detect_backplane’: varmon.c:496: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 2 of ‘strncpy’ differ in signedness varmon.c:505: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of ‘strncmp’ differ in signedness varmon.c:506: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of ‘strncmp’ differ in signedness varmon.c:511: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of ‘strncmp’ differ in signedness hostname:~/varmon-1.2.0# gdb ./varmon GNU gdb 6.4.90-debian Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

If you need more information, please let me know. Regards, Dimitri Puzin aka Tristan-777
