My tests yesterday night have shown that we should add a DESTDIR feature to the makefiles, to make it easier for distributors. But I didn't have time to write patches yet. However, here is a patch in order to make it compile: user: guest pass: guest https://iocaste.extern.pengutronix.de/viewsvn/ptxdist/trunks/ptxdist-trunk/patches/ltp-full-20080131/generic/ltp-full-20080131-fadvise.diff?rev=7795&view=auto Robert -- Dipl.-Ing.
