To develop another project under Solaris 9 (sparc), I decided first to build Fossil to use it as VCS for my project. Unfortunately it was not possible to build it streight ahead. Following was necessary:

  2  The binary <samp>fossil</samp> has to be linked with <samp>-lsocket -lnsl</samp>

After these, the binary could be built. But using it to e.g. clone or rebuild an existing repository, will result in a bus error with core dump. A debugger excerpt shows:<verbatim>bash-2.05$ ./fossil clone ~/repos/t3x.fsl t3x.fsl
 Repository cloned into t3x.fsl

However, if I took the file <samp>sqlite3.c</samp> of revision [767ae79c3d] replacing the actual file of revision [915bfd99fe], then all will run correctly without any fault!

So I assume, the error was introduced in revision [3b76c0474e] (SQLite 3.6.14.1), as replacing the faulty file with that revision's one, also caused a bus error.

If further information is necessary, please let me know ...

Ciao,
chi :-)
