#include
int main(void) {
printf("int = %d\n", sizeof(int));
printf("void * = %d\n", sizeof(void *));
return 0;
}
blade% ./a.out
int = 4
void * = 8
This may well be casuing the problem?

That would explain the problem with the options. http://bugzilla.elinks.cz/show_bug.cgi?id=764 I don't know whether that bug could cause ELinks not to display any web pages, though. It may be best to fix that first, and then try again. pgpkiFK9xOMBV.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ elinks-dev mailing list [email protected] http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-dev

Did you tell ELinks to save the changes? Which compiler did you use? Try disabling optimizations. If that does not work around the problem right away, the executable should at least become easier to debug. > So basically, elinks is broken in many ways on sparc64.
