Hi,

Unfortunately I can't also build your SPL on Debian lenny 64-bit chroot with Linux kernel 2.6.26-2-amd64:

Hi,

We have seen a lot of interest on debian lenny and are working on fixing this compilation issues and qualifying the port on debian lenny.

Hello Anand,

Thank you very much for the response! It's good to hear it. I'll keep my fingers crossed :)

Have a nice day, Pawel
