Re: [Trustedgrub-users] Trouble building 1.1.3 on Fedora

I was able to build Trusted Grub successfully on a Pentium 4 system with i386 Fedora installed on it, as well as an x86_64 version of RHEL 5.1 on my Core 2 Duo system so I think its safe to say that this is not an issue with Trusted Grub. I've gone ahead and filed a bug on binutils related to this: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5453 So we'll see what happens with that. Thanks again to everyone who offered help on this, both on and off list. -matt Matt Anderson wrote: > Thanks for all the help, but unfortunately this still didn't get it.
