Hello Kent,

I removed "config.cache", and successfully ran ./configure.
I then ran make clean; make and got the following message:


gcc -o /mnt/home/erlang/otp_src_R9B-0/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu/beam.instr \
 -Wl,-export-dynamic /mnt/home/erlang/otp_src_R9B-0/erts/

It looks as if function tgetent is called in ttsl.drv which has been
compiled twice.  The first time, in erts/obj, the linking was ok, but then
in erts/obj.instr it failed.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Roger

void * = 4
size_t = 4
int    = 4
long   = 4
