I will try it again with the shipped Ubuntu package and I will be more careful. If it fails then I will compile 3.9-0. And if it fails again I will use Clem Cole's suggestions. Wish me luck! BTW, what version of SIMH did you use when writing your guide, Hellwig? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
