Hi Alan, I tried unsuccessfully the following: 1) get blcr-source (0.8.2-4) from http://packages.debian.org/sid/blcr-source and try in the official debian/ubuntu way with module-assistant: configure steps works, but build fails, logs attached 2) get https://ftg.lbl.gov/CheckpointRestart/downloads/blcr-0.8.2.tar.gz, unpack, build a la https://upc-bugs.lbl.gov//blcr/doc/html/BLCR_Admin_Guide.html with the known result that the configure step fails 3) as in 2), but replace configure with configure from 1), i.e. from the debian package. The configure step works, but the build fails with an interesting process spawning loop in ... Making all in libcr make[2]: Entering directory `/home/skluth/blcr/blcr-0.8.2/builddir/libcr' if /bin/bash ../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../libcr -I.. -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -I../include -I../../include -I../../libcr/arch/i386/ -Wall -Wno-unused-function -g -O2 -MT libcr_la-cr_async.lo -MD -MP -MF ".deps/libcr_la-cr_async.Tpo" -c -o libcr_la-cr_async.lo `test -f 'cr_async.c' || echo '../../libcr/'`cr_async.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/libcr_la-cr_async.Tpo" ".deps/libcr_la-cr_async.Plo"; else rm -f ".deps/libcr_la-cr_async.Tpo"; exit 1; fi ^Cmake[2]: *** [libcr_la-cr_async.lo] Interrupt ^C^Cmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Interrupt make: *** [all] Interrupt fortunately I issued the ^C while my system was still responsive 4) as 3), but with $ ../configure --with-installed-libcr --with-installed-util because the problem in 3) was for libcr AFAICT, but this fails in a similar way to 1) (make seems to go fine, but modules are not found) BTW, the libcr and blcr-util 0.8.2-4 packages from debian installed fine on karmic.
