Patrick, [I drove your inquiry into our support tracking system.

The operand of the "--localstatedir" option should probably be "/home/ldm/etc". This is the cause of the problem. Leave the entire option off because the script will get the right directory by default. "configure.log" is the name in the documentation for the output file from the configure-script. Do you truly need the "--disable-max-size" option? You should only use it if you have a product-queue from a previous 32-bit installation that you absolutely must re-use. Execute the command "make distclean" before re-executing the configure script. > (error also occurs if using just our old ‘./configure’ ) > > config log if you wish to see: > http://modelweather.com/files/config.txt > > screen cap of fatal below [image: Smile] > > > -- [image: image] > > > > cheers, > > --patrick > > ---------------------------------------- > Patrick L.
