Hi Ed. I've seen the same problem. There are a bunch of open "PR"s on this. I've contacted the owner but haven't gotten any response. The problem is in /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h. The task_struct structure seems to be quite different than the one ftape seems to be expecting. I would think that ftape would have to be modified to use the new version of task_struct? Anyone have any ideas on this? However, I've seen emails from people who have compiled successfully on 2.2, so I don't know how they're doing it. ..Geoff Ed Harrison wrote: > I have Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 which came with ftape 3.04.
