As I said earlier , but will say again for clarity.
It *is* a bug in pre1, Alan was trying something out that broke binding in some BSD based operating systems and looks like Solaris too ...
Following a little bit of detective work with gdb, I realised that the problem is with the udpfromto code in -pre1, at least on FreeBSD. Passing --without-udpfromto to configure on FreeBSD means 2.0.0-pre1 works on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE. Supposedly udpfromto works on BSD like operating systems, but I've never got it to work on FreeBSD, even in 1.1.x.
Thats the one !
The code has been taken out in the CVS head... if you want to use the new features of 2** (of which there are many) use the CVS head not pre1.
Has the faulty code really been taken out or fixed, or is the resolution of this situation a side-effect of udpfromto being disabled in HEAD at the moment?
Taken out as far as I know, but you'd have to ask Alan for that one.
Is there any hope of a 2.0.0-pre2 release any time soon? I realise that version 2 is still under active development,
Very active, though I did hear a mention of pre2 coming out soonish :) Currently trying to help fix/diagnose a very weird bug that breaks FR on 64 bit PPC based OSX boxes ... Ah do you run a 64bit BSD machine ? If so would really appreciate feedback on whether FR can do EAP without bombing out (though the issue isn't actually with the EAP module) ...
that HEAD has just gone through a period of being uninstallable for a while so it may be wise to let things settle a while longer Really ? It's been building fine for me ? What error do you get ?
