This was the pointer i needed - Ill try this - There was a big discussion on the SGI Linux Mips list which was not THAT interesting and they did not come up with a correct solution. > > The second big failure reason is direkt or indirekt missing xfree like > > libgtk, groff, gnome, xmkmf. > Did you try to build a xlib6?

Nope - This will be one of the things ill take care of when i am finished with a complete build run i think - It takes some Aehm - hours to compile on my machine :) > > clisp none linker error > These linker errors worry me a lot. Any idea what causes them? Linker problems :) - Honestly - The binutils for mips(el) are the most ugliest things i have been told - There are a couple of people working on it to fix these linker errors and add symbol versioning (without this the glibc 2.2 wont be possible) Most of the linker errors can be worked around by trying different revisions of binutils - I had much luck with 991114 or something which did compile most of the things 2.8.1 + mips patches didnt survive. Just try to use current CVS binutils - Sometimes it works :) Flo -- Florian Lohoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] +49-5241-470566 "Technology is a constant battle between manufacturers producing bigger and more idiot-proof systems and nature producing bigger and better idiots."
