One thing I didn't do was to nuke the config.status etc files and rerun ./configure before doing the make, should I have? Its late or I'd test that yet tonight.
Hi Gene, I'll answer this because it's a question specifically about EMC2. After doing a cvs update, you need to always do a full recompile. If you are building for run-in-place, this involves cd src ./configure --enable-run-in-place make clean make sudo make setuid cd .. scripts/emc EMC2 has had all its security and permissions issues cleaned up and you should never run it as root. You should also never run cvs as root. Using root when it's not necessary just leads to other problems down the road - specifically, ending up with root-owned files strewn about. If you continue to have problems building EMC2, please visit the #emc channel on freenode, or bring the topic to the emc-developers list on sourceforge. Regards, Chris
