decision on anonymous shared memory allocation method failed

(in Computing on 2008/06/25)

This can happen if autoconf decides to use the wrong pre-processor while testing for what headers you have installed (AC_CHECK_HEADER). Each header test will fail, so when it comes to testing for actual featrures, the feature tests will fail b/c the proper headers won’t be included.

On Solaris 10 (amd64), run configure with CPP=”cc -E” so /lib/cpp isn’t found. /lib/cpp can’t handle some of the system headers that are ultimately included.

Feed aggregators didn’t like something about my fiddling last month and aren’t showing updates to my feed — you likely need to remove the feed and re-add it:

N.Y. attorney general forces ISPs to curb Usenet access

Time Warner Cable said it will cease to offer customers access to any Usenet newsgroups, a decision that will affect customers nationwide. Sprint said it would no longer offer any of the tens of thousands of alt.* Usenet newsgroups. Verizon’s plan is to eliminate some “fairly broad newsgroup areas.”
..

“We’re going to stop offering our subscribers newsgroups,” said Alex Dudley, a spokesman for Time Warner Cable. “Some of the early press on this indicated we were going to block certain Web sites. We’re not going to do that.”
