cannot compile ORBit-0.5.17

[Terry Chan]

A few questions for you about your problem with ORBit-0.5.17.

1. Which model cpu do you really have ?
2. You do know that ORBit-0.5.17 is for gnome1, right?  "lin ORBit2" for gnome2 apps.
3. Which gcc are you using? 3.2.3 or 3.3.x ?
4. Which kernel series are you using -- 2.4.x or 2.6.x ?
5. Is your computer a multi-processor box (SMP) ?

If you're still having trouble compiling with "lin ORBit", then please do this:
  lin -d ORBit
and then email the Lunar ML again with the following file attached:
  /var/log/lunar/compile/ORBit-0.5.17.bz2
and please attach this file as well:
  /etc/lunar/local/optimizations

ORBit-0.5.17 compiles for me with no problems using gcc-3.2.3 on an Intel P3-850,
kernel 2.4.24.
