Hi Thomas,
Yes, this is some sort of problem with Slackware. You have to turn
down the optimization flag.
Try <CFLAGS -g01 ./configure. Hans Fairchild said that with 64 MB of ram
and 100 MB swap file he compiled OK. Rather drole sense of humour. What
the actual cause of this problem is I do not know. David suggested
compiling without optimization which also worked for me.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Peter Hall
