Well, another day gone. Greg found the problem with autoconf 2.5/libtool 1.4 - APR was calling AC_PROG_CC twice. I was looking at that function and then had to go study for the GREs (subject test coming up). When I came back, Greg's email was in my inbox. Oh, well, you can't win them all. (Which of course is the beauty of open source.) There were only four people in the house (as I mentioned yesterday) - but now, a few others came back. Woo-hoo. Now it isn't as deserted as it was before. Actually possible to have human interaction now. Yipee. Time for bed. Riiight. I want to take a look at the bucket functions in httpd. I think they're unnecessarily screwy. See if I can figure out some decent optimizations. Already have a rewrite sitting in my tree. Let's see if it doesn't blow things up dramatically.

Bored. Very bored.

Another quarter begins. Life here in the house is kind of slow. Most people went home - there are only four of us left. Hmph.

Autoconf 2.5+ and Libtool 1.4 doesn't like to do shared libraries in combination. *sigh* That took long enough to identify. Now the question is what is the real problem and what is the fix?

Getting gcc-3.0.1 to build on Solaris is getting to be a chore (distraction, but a chore nevertheless). I'm now at the state where I need to install binutils first. It shouldn't be *this* painful.

Upgraded bind at UCF to the latest - saw some stability problems - hoping that this will fix them.

Did I mention I am bored? I'm going through all of my bookmarks and staring at them. Sleep is for the meek.

Naps are good.

Don't forget that metal coat hangers can work wonders on opening any sort of doors in a house.
