Re: FreeBSD port?

Hi !

This is really strange ...

Hmmm - this is odd. Chances are good we triggered a bug in the linker.

Please check with some BSD linker freak to see if he can make some sense
of that message. Internal error normally means "Ooops - this shouldn't 
happen !".

Could you send exact transcripts of what you tried ?

I.e. what X server in what resolution and depth, what demos (demo.c would
be good) and eventually the output of

bash$ LIBGGI_DEBUG=255 ./demo                and
bash$ strace ./demo

Should help us tracking that problem ...

CU, Andy
