There was no checksum provided, but, it seems there is no corruption. Because, due to this doubt I downloaded the bz2 file three times from three different mirrors. And all of them gave the same result. - It was in reiser. I unmounted and mounted it quite a few times, with no error messages given, usually what happens when there is some fs-error, though I did not run fsck explicitly. OK, I will try it. - Compiling lame is giving the same thing. Though, just three or four days back I compiled mldonkey, without a glitch of any kind. Only, after that, my xpdf got messed up, which I erased and reinstalled and it is OK. And, also, after that, maybe, the vanishing rate of Evolution has shot up. - I have not tried that part, compiling as user, I will try it now, and let you know. -- das
