Johnathan, Do you have a Jira account? can you file a bug? I you can't, please answer to this thread and I'll create one myself.
(Also, as it has been 6 days now, if others have filled a bug with this behaviour, please say it here, so that we do not duplicate issues). Best regards Rubén 2011/10/26 Jonathan Felder <[email protected]> > I am installing matterhorn 1.2 on centos 6. I am trying to build the 3rd > party tools and noticed some very bad behavior.
