No need to send the error messages then, that is exactly where it is falling 
over :-) .  "./configure" and "make" work OK but but "make check" falls over 
on the vmcircbuf stuff. Any ideas on how to get around this guys? My hppa box 
stikes me as the sort of very robust box that will go for ever :-). 
Unfortunately I am a pretty useless code cutter and I'm not much better at 
reading it :-( . Things like grc are what will save me here.

Cheers, Geoff.
