Looking at ./lib/mes/__mes_debug.c, it looks like you could set/export
environment
MES_DEBUG=1 and run it again to see the error number ./lib/string/strerror.c
(in git repo) doesn't like.
Then run something like my error-printing kludge that will work on your system:
I called it errno-grep
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#!/usr/bin/bash
if [ -z "$1" ];then
echo "Usage: errno-grep [ grep switches for grepping the following files in
order ]"
echo " /usr/include/asm-generic/errno-base.h"
echo " /usr/include/asm-generic/errno.h"
exit 0
fi
if [ "${1:0:1}" == "-" ]; then
exec grep "$@" /usr/include/asm-generic/errno-base.h
/usr/include/asm-generic/errno.h
else
exec egrep -wh "$@" /usr/include/asm-generic/errno-base.h
/usr/include/asm-generic/errno.h
fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
HTH.
