I re-installed nano, still the same outcome 2. changed EDITOR=/bin/nano, outcome is the same. 3. re-install lintool, same outcome All this after a rsync and emerge -u world. converter42@gmail.com 2003-01-08 03:27:29 0000 Created an attachment (id=7084) patch to sdiff.c, removes waitpid() call after pclose() on piped diff stream sdiff calls waitpid() after pclose() on the piped diff process stream. As I read the pclose() documentation, pclose() waits for the child, so an explicit waitpid() call after pclose() is probably returning -1 and setting errno to ECHILD (just a guess). liviu.voicu@gmail.com 2003-01-10 04:43:02 0000 Worked, I suggest to gentoo team to add the patch to the diffutils :-) This made my day.
