I've never rsynced a mol tree before, so I'm not sure I did
everything right (in the past I just ftped source and built). I
rsynced as directed above. Did make with no errors. Did make install
and it suggested I do make libimport, which I also did, no errors.
make install then appeared to run OK. So AFAIK, I did this all OK.
Modified molrc to run with 64MB ram, and set up rw on the Mac volume
as I always did on this machine before when running mol in the old
days. Noted that processor type was commented out, but since G3 is
default and recommend in the file is to run as G3, I left as is. As
root, I did startmol --loadonly, and then as a user, did startmol.
Um, there isn't a kernel patch any more is there, I thought that was
the point of the new 603 mol support? I SURE hope I'm not looking
stupid here....
Anyway, here's what I get:
[jeglin@linux-6500 jeglin]$ startmol

This is on a 6500/300 (603e) with a home-built kfukui 2.4.5pre1
kernel, 96Meg RAM. I'll go try the debugger as suggested and get back
to you.
