Hi, Well, I actually had to make --prefix the same as DESTDIR to make install them. I'm suspecting it is because DESTDIR is not the same as "/mnt/cf/gnu" meaning PATH is not correct. Thank you, Younghun On 8/15/07, Greg Troxel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My quick reaction is that you are havin

My quick reaction is that you are having problems from using different paths from (cross-)building and running. Try making an ARM destdir and installing everything into it in the same place you will have it when you run. Lots of programs configure in (via @prefix@ in foo.in) the prefix,and then l

In the clock recovery, the useful term in the output of the M&M error detector becomes small for long sequences of identical symbols. This affects the sampling instant, and I suspect is related to what you are seeing. You can modify the gain_mu value to get these and similar effects. -TT On 8/13/
