Also one I came across is if the sources are in vanilla condition (ie youve |
| 33 |
run 'make mrproper' or similar) then the version hasnt been stamped out yet, |
| 34 |
which confuses some programs. I had to do a config and then make to get them |
| 35 |
in acceptable shape. This was way back with 2.6.5 I think. |
