Slashcode

I'm posting this as an FYI. I don't know if this is a real issue or not, and, honestly, I don't have the time to deal with it at the moment. So bear with me.

For the past ~8 months, I wasn't able to make install on the slash source-tree on my OSX machine (PB 1.2515").

When I first got the power book back in ~Sep2003 it worked.
Then all of a sudden, it stopped.

When it builds, it breaks with this:

Now, here's where it gets interesting. I grabbed a new checkout of the source-tree in preparation for all the Section/Topic updates (see article). That way I had a clean c/o and could monitor what had changed easier then my diffed-to-hell srctree.

So for the heck of it I rm -fR'd /usr/local/slash, and then did make install on the fresh checkout.

It worked w/o any problems. I was very surprised at this point (pleasantly, obviously).

I've not run install-slashsite or anything (I'll have to do some house cleaning... backup the previous db's, etc) before I run install-slashsite on it.

But if this works, it comes with great timing in that I'll have the laptop but no 'net access all next week. So if I have time I can work on some Slash-related code/projects via the laptop once again.
