If/when it happens again I'll try to find the cause of it. However, to do this, I tried to compile trn myself (I'm currently using a version I extracted from a Linux binary release), but I'm running into some difficulties there. I'm using my 'own' GNU curses lib (installed into my homedirectory), and everything compiles OK. However, when linking trn I run into difficulties: gcc -L/usr/local/lib -L/home/cvs_guest/lib addng.o art.o artio.o artsrch.o autosub.o backpage.o bits.o cache.o charsubst.o datasrc.o decode.o edit_dist.o env.o final.o hash.o head.o help.o init.o intrp.o kfile.o last.o list.o mime.o ng.o ngdata.o ngsrch.o ngstuff.o only.o opt.o rcln.o rcstuff.o respond.o rthread.o rt-mt.o rt-ov.o rt-process.o rt-page.o rt-select.o rt-util.o rt-wumpus.o search.o sw.o term.o trn.o util.o util2.o uudecode.o parsedate.o nntpinit.o nntpclient.o nntpauth.o nntp.o wildmat.o color.o filter.o scan.o scmd.o sdisp.o smisc.o sorder.o spage.o scanart.o samain.o samisc.o sadisp.o sacmd.o sadesc.o sathread.o url.o mempool.o univ.o score.o scorefile.o scoresave.o score-easy.o tkstuff.o tktree.o -lm -lresolv -lnsl -lncurses -o trn /home/cvs_guest/lib/libncurses.a(lib_termcap.o)(.data+0x0): multiple definition of `UP' term.o(.data+0x14): first defined here /home/cvs_guest/lib/libncurses.a(lib_termcap.o)(.data+0x4): multiple definition of `BC' term.o(.data+0x10): first defined here /home/cvs_guest/lib/libncurses.a(lib_tputs.o)(.data+0x0): multiple definition of `PC' term.o(.data+0x66): first defined here /home/cvs_guest/lib/libncurses.a(lib_setup.o)(.data+0x4): multiple definition of `LINES' term.o(.data+0x70): first defined here /home/cvs_guest/lib/libncurses.a(lib_setup.o)(.data+0x8): multiple definition of `COLS' term.o(.data+0x74): first defined here collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [trn] Error 1 So I tried removing the definition of the offending items from term.h (brute force, it sometimes works) but that doesn't do it in this case. This is probably not a trn-specific problem, and the solution is also straightforward, but I'm not that experienced in compiling stuff, especially when errors appear. ;) So what could I do to fix this? Add/remove some includes? Thanks for the information.
