in reply to mids: > > try to run 'make distclean' first. > then update cvs with 'cvs -z3 update -PACd' > > next configure, make, make collect and make install Thank you for trying to help me. Sadly, this is not the source of the problem. I had removed the old crossfire directory and checked out the entire new package before running configure and make. So there is no way I had leftovers of old makefiles/object-files. (I tried what you suggested anyways, but as expected it still didn't work.) Any other ideas? The error messages give me the impression that there is a problem with building/linking the "libcross.a" library. Andreas
