- I had this error (see subject) for all of version 2.4.
- and it finnally went away. What I did was this: In running the
- Configure program It would ask:
- "Is elm going to be run as a setgid program? [y]"
- Since I was chmod'ing the program to 2755 I answered yes.
- (Syd - was I wrong?)
- What got rid of the infamous "can't write to /usr/spool/mail"
- was just in answering no to that question. (why?)
- This is my system: Apollo domain series 4000 running
- domain/OS 10.3 (and others running 10.4)
-
- On to other topics--3b2 I know that gcc has been cross compiled
- for a 3b1 (or pc7300). I don't know why there should not be out on the
- net for a 3b2. You might try asking in the "comp.sys.3b1" forum. A lot
- of people there have 3b2's as well. Good luck.
-
- Have a safe and happy,
- Mike
