Sorry, the end of the make output got cut off when cutting and pasting.
I have done some further testing with zlib installed and it still breaks so you
are right about it NOT being zlib (just hit lucky when it worked I suppose).
So at the moment, every time I make &>log it works, but just make, will fail.
Maybe there are some issues that are resolved by dropping out to write a
logfile ? One thing with this box is that Reiser FS is used for /usr/ but I
really don't think that should be an issue should it ?
Best regards,
Dominic.
