On this I'd like to see about ten lines or so before it. From what I've seen lately what you've pasted is due to an actual error that's not obvious somewhere before this and your focusing (like I initially did) on the results of the error, not the error itself. There's a pkg that trying to compile, but there's not enough info here to tell what's going on. Was this from a fink update-all? fink update pkgA? Fink install pkgA? Or Fink rebuild? Or do you use apt-get or dselect commands? I've gotten to where I use fink where possible (if I can figure out how).
On a different note, there's one little thing that I've found that might help as well: Run fink scanpackages Look at the full set of results. If it gives you something along the lines "Found pkg A and used it but also found pkg A (older) and ignored it" then you've duplicate entries which can confuse fink and gcc (at least it seemed to on mine sometimes). Use sudo rm /sw/fink/pkgfilepath where pkgfilepath is the "older" pkg that fink scanpackages returned that it's ignoring. It should be long, like /dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/pkg-a-olderversion#. It's a little maintenance thing but if it's something that simple that fixes your problem, great. Last time I did a selfupdate and update-all I had 8 dup entries to remove and the time before that I had 32 (took a little while). :) Good luck, Brandon Potter On Sunday, August 11, 2002, at 03:52 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Well as for Gnewspost 0.5 it will simply hang, crash with no error at > all, or give me a gnome crash message of one kind or another, mostly > gtk related (which are visible if you run gnewspost from a terminal. > Its the fact the most the posts don't go through that makes me feel its > not important because most likely my isp is killing the posts or the > app doesn't work either way I've begun a search for something else to > use and osiris is the app I'm stuck with until I find something usable. > all the same this is the error I get when I make. it configures ok but > thats it. > > app.c:1317: bad macro argument list > app.c:1317: bad macro argument list > app.c:1317: bad macro argument list > cpp-precomp: warning: errors during smart preprocessing, retrying in > basic mode > make[2]: *** [app.o] Error 1 > make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 > make: *** [all] Error 2 > > On Saturday, August 10, 2002, at 09:05 PM, Brandon Potter wrote: > >> So, >> What errors are you receiving?
