Hi Dan Thanks for the report, but since it's against such an old version of coreutils, it's not very useful. I'm hoping to release 6.10 pretty soon, so if you could install your own copy of the latest test release, coreutils-6.9.91, and give feedback on that, I'd sure appreciate it. FYI, there have no significant bug reports since that test release. Just download one of these (I mention lzma, since it's so much smaller (3.6M vs 8.7M) than the .gz file): ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.9.91.tar.gz ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.9.91.tar.lzma Here's the announcement (which mentions the LZMA url): (to get lzma, just run "aptitude install lzma" or "yum install lzma") http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.announce/42 [you probably already know how to do this, but...] Once you have a tarball, gzip -dc coreutils-6.9.91.tar.gz | tar xf - [ or lzma -dc coreutils-6.9.91.tar.lzma | tar xf - ] cd coreutils-6.9.91 ./configure --prefix=$HOME/coreutils make make -k check >& log Then, if you want to use these tools rather than the ones installed on your system, do this: make install and then put $HOME/coreutils/bin at the front of your shell's search patch. E.g., with bash or zsh, do this: export PATH=$HOME/coreutils/bin:$PATH _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
