Re: grub reiser4 won't compile

[Chris Wakefield <c_wakefield@shaw.ca>]

Hi Vitaly.

Thanks for your reply.

I tried every reasonable combo:
apt-get source grub ... patched it with LATEST_PATCH ...that wouldn't compile 
with or without the patch,
grub-0.95,
grub-0.96,
all the same result.
I wasn't sure what to do with "LATEST_GRUB", it seemed to be a binary for some 
reason.

I'm stumped.

Thanks,
Chris W.
