It certainly appears to have worked. Perhaps the added debugging switches, or perhaps something missing from the environment that libtool or make provides, made it work. Germ=C3=A1n's later efforts to compile may have worked not because he remov= ed the Ctrl-Ls (which seems implausible), but rather because the hand-entered command had already built the needed object file, and it has remained. Of course, you would think that his modification of vm.c would cause the object file to be replaced. But suppose the compiler dies before overwriting the object file? Suppose further that it returns a 0 result code? Yes, I'm grasping at straws, but I see nothing more substantial to grasp onto :) Mark
