checking for libart2-config... /usr/bin/libart2-config
checking for revoke(tty) in unistd.h... yes
configure: error: Fast malloc is not supported on this platform (missing spinlock implementation).

hmm, not sure how amd64 is set up but the fast malloc should only be happening if you have "x86" as your architecture.  Is it normal for you to have both amd64 and x86 in your use flags as arches?

Ooops, sorry! Where is this coming from? Anyway, i'll check again and report back here.

Thx,
Jan

Comment 3 Jan Schubert 2004-01-18 10:35:38 UTC

Scusi, it's working now. The x86 is most likely a typo and should read xfree86!? I've no other explanation...
