Hi Igor, Somewhere within the make file they are issuing the strip command that strips out debugging information from executables. This makes the file considerably shorter, sometimes dramatically so. For some reason your strip command is not recognizing the format of the executable file: sfvod. Hopefully, somebody else can tell you why. Try 'file /usr/local/bin/sfvod' without the apostrophes of course. If you get something like: elf32 binary executable you should be okay. Jim Wantz On Fri, 19 Apr 2002, Igor Gueths wrote: > Hi all.
