No problem, I know this phenomenon 'work' quite well. :) So far I've been getting excellent support for my problems on the list, and I'm happy to be able to help smooth out some kinks in the installation process.
Anyway, I just downloaded the MonetDB-4.8.0.tar.gz, extracted it, made BUILD directory, cd'ed to it and ran
.../configure --prefix=<MyPrefix> && make && make check
where <MyPrefix> is not "/usr" or "/usr/local", but rather a new directory, and that works fine.
Weird, in my case I've supplied my own prefix as well, but that didn't seem to work.
Then, I re-tried (from newly extracted sources)
.../configure && make && make check
i.e., using the default prefix "/usr"; make worked fine, but make check immediately killed my desktop ;-)
:)
The problem is/was a small tool called "MkillUsers" that come with MonetDB to support Mtest (details on request; they don't matter here...). [snip]
I'll try to take a look at this later and report back. Thanks! Regards, Martijn
