Sorry to hear the bad news with your compile. Mine was flawless. Slow and steady but
flawless, nonetheless. I researched and read while going through my compile. If you
could give me an idea of your hardware specs I can probably provide some insight, bro.
I don't use PMfirewall but if I did, I would expect it to break. The price to pay for
working with static binaries better known as tarballs. That is what RPMs so beautiful,
they are dynamic thus flex and readjust mostly to changes as greatly as this.
