I tend to agree -- I was surprised to see this, but I'm almost-totally clueless about these things. Thanks for the info, Richard PS: There's been much muttering about call stacks and DWARF. I haven't a clue what DWARF is, but I always assumed that this nice feature would not be available on Macs. What I realized today is that this assumption likely stems from the fact that ELF is not for Mac. ELFs and DWARFs tend to be found near one another in other settings, but perhaps this fact doesn't carry over to computer architectures. :) > > Cheers, > > Peter > >> On 04.11.2015, at 16:46, Richard Eisenberg <e...@cis.upenn.edu> wrote: >> >> I can't build 7.10.3 RC1 because I don't have readelf. ./configure says this: >> >>> checking for readelf... no >>> configure: error: cannot find readelf in your PATH >> >> A (very) quick search has turned up no help.
