Ack! You are still having problems with 0.2.4? I thought your problem was
with the compiler, and not legOS?
<flips through old Andy Gombos posts on lugnet>
Is this still the merge-map problem? I figured out the situation, and
fixed it in CVS. Sorry I forgot to tell the list. If you get the newest
tarball (http://legOS.sourceforge.net/files/common/legOS-0.2.4.tar.gz) it
should build cleanly for you. Please test it and let us know.

| I downloaded the tarball, and tried to compile it. when I an in /boot, it tries to do a genlds, and exits with an error. When I try to run genlds, it says Segmentation Error(or fault, I can't remember). I think the only reason that I can use 0.2.3 (...) (24 years ago, 25-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| I figured you would be glad that I was not running 0.2.4. I cannot get it to compile correctly, so I use 0.2.3 instead. The two full programs are below, in case you wanted to see them in full.
