Ahh Thanks Jimmy
I was using 10, just dropped to 9.2 on a new machine this AM, and I almost put the -devel version in but thought, well I wanted to see if it was some interaction with 10. I will get the -devel version in and give it a go when I get a chance. I think that only help appears broken, at least I was able to do a few things with the non-devel version.. nothing major yet .. It will probably have to wait for a while, your patch will probably get in by the time I can get back to it ;-) (I had a bit of a machine problem with my cobbled together 9.2 machine this morning when I moved it out to the barn, it evidently did not like that and won't boot now ;-( but it is an old machine). I will have to take a different box I have in my office and re-purpose it as a 9.2 Release and add all the goodies, it has more memory anyway ;-) R On Oct 5, 2013, at 7:24 PM, Jimmy Kelley wrote: > Randall: > > You wouldn't by chance have initially been trying this on FreeBSD 10, > would you? > > It's been a while since I've built eclipse-devel (Juno) but I had > no problems with it a couple of months ago.
