I found that IRIX had stripped the major and minor numbers from the device files in the tar distribution -- the answer was to untar using Linux, not IRIX (gtar doesn't help), or to manually recreate the dev files. Try that, and I bet it fixes it. -- Rob Lembree Strategic Software Organization Silicon Graphics, Inc. http://www.sgi.com One Cabot Road rob@lembree.com Hudson, MA 01749 lembree@sgi.com Phone: 978-567-2141 FAX: 978-567-2341 PGP: 1F EE F8 58 30 F1 B1 20 C5 4F 12 21 AD 0D 6B 29
