I didn't have any trouble building it on Debian unstable (gcc 2.95.3). The only issue I had was I needed to install libfltk1 and libfltk1-dev. If you're actuall freezing (hard lock) when compiling I suspect a hardware problem. (overheat due to heavy processor and disk activity). If you compile seems to stall for a minute or two maybe it's just crunching numbers and you're not giving it enough time. Under RedHat it may just be the buggy GCC at work, or gcc is throwing out a signal 11 (processor error, most often caused by excess heat) and their make file is trapping that and giving you their less informative error message. If you have a recent computer going you can get lmsensors going to monitor your CPU temp. Most likely you'll have to compile a kernel to do so. If gcc throws out errors, consider investing in some more cooling fans. (PC Power and Cooling's Sliencer fans are great! I have 3 of them in my case and it is very quiet). | Andrew S.
