Sadly, with the help of a new user who grabbed the VM after a post on APRSSIG, we've found a number of problems with the VM that was uploaded, and I'm now trying to enumerate them, document the fixes, and get a new one ready. Those who have already downloaded it will have a list of things they can do to bring their VM up to snuff without downloading a new one. Apologies for that. The problems include a mismatched Berkeley DB library and header set (breaking caching), inoperable cut/paste despite my claim (and this appears to be something to do with Xubuntu, not something I can fix), an unwritable build directory, and some problems bringing up networking. If you wanted to download the VM, hold off. If you already did, wait a day or so and I'll try to have a new list of things to do to get it to 100%. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "It's so simple to be wise: just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it." --- Sam Levinson _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
