Re: [Firebird-devel] Help! Why doesn't firebird-boot-kit work?

[Randal C. <wa...@xw...>]

Hello,

I to find it stops on a build on stock SuSE 6.3 randomly it seems but not
so often, dual pIII 550 machine with 512M of ram...so its not memory
requirements I hope.  I too find it builds fine on SuSE 7.0...but strangly

I also find it builds perfect on slackware 7.1 without pause as bootstrap
or normal either superserver or classic (well except when I build from
running IB 6.01 server build, but thats the met thing).  Note Slackware
7.1 egcs version, thats a real kicker...seems its not the compiler, but
something else...maybe because SuSE 6.3 is based on glibc 2.1.12 while the
other two are based on glibc 2.1.13...or something about the kernel
version I run on SuSE 6.3.

hmmm, well I was trying to shed some light on the problem and did all
those builds for nothing...but maybe I will upgrade glibc on 6.3 and see
if thats the culprit...but its definetly not the compiler.


SuSE 6.3
gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)


SuSE 7.0
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)


Slackware 7.1
gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)
