Hi all,
I'm new to this list but was hoping someone could help me. I recently installed MacPorts 1.4 RC2 and compiled from source. Once installed, I did a port file update, etc before installing apache2 + php5 + mysql5. Everything went pretty smoothly (except for some app named conftest that crashed - see crash report below - I'm not sure it matters.) So then I followed
I believe conftest is supposed to crash under certain conditions. I have compiled a number of configure-based programs that include a conftest crash. I think it is a program created by configure to check for the presense (or absense) of specific library functions and/or how they react to conditions. With some configures (for example, the one for the development version of XEmacs in CVS), the configure script appears to be aware of the potential crash and fails to compile the file conftest.c. Then, I usually see an error in the configure output about the file conftest.c not existing. -- Dr. Robert Delius Royar Associate Professor of English Morehead State University Morehead, Kentucky
