The more I try to use/setup my new 1.4 installation, the more problems I find.
The first thing I was trying to do is install m4. So I went and
downloaded the pkgsrc file and untar'ed it. I attempted the command
make fetch-list | sh
while in csh inside the m4 directory, but all I got was make, sh, and
csh core dumps. However if I changed the command to
make fetch-list | csh
everything went fine, at least for that command. Next I tried
make
to build the package, but after telling me it was extracting the archive
(m4 in this case), it hung, then core dumped. A bit flustered, I
attempted to install m4 by hand. Issuing the command
./configure
inside the m4 directory almost got the configure script to finish. In
the last few steps csh core dumped. I switched to bash and tried again,
and it worked (most of the settings were in cache now). However running
the command
make
just generated yet another core dump (make this time).
I've installed a clean system twice, but with the same results. Any
ideas why nothing seems to be working? I running NetBSD 1.4 on a
MacIIci with 8 MB ram and approx 260 MB hard drive space. I'm
installing from a CD. Thanks in advance,
