Re: OSX build fails consistently with same error

 

I tried to send an email to Jean Paul earlier today about this, but four
hours later a kindly email server told me I sent from the wrong address.

This is a bug that is already in the bug tracker.  Do exactly what Dick
says--cd common, make, cd back, make again.

I know Marco was looking into it, but I'm not sure if it's gotten anywhere
yet.

I've been watching the Mac builds like a hawk lately--it's interesting that
you haven't been bit by this one yet.
