I'm sure somebody else has tackled this question before but I don't know the answer. For some reason whenever I use the patch program and it hits a diff that only deletes a few lines, it bombs. What I'm talking about is like the following: *************** *** 485,491 **** echo " " echo "nm didn't seem to work right." echo "Trying ar instead..." - rmlist="$rmlist libc.tmp" if ar t $libc > libc.tmp; then sed -e 's/\.o$//' < libc.tmp > libc.list echo "Ok." --- 489,494 ---- *************** *** 501,507 **** etc. The error says that the assertion failed in pch.c, line 636. If it matters I have patch 2.0, patchlevel 0. If there is a patch for this could somebody send it to me? As it is now I have to do these types of patches manually which kind of defeats the whole purpose of the patch program. Jay Shrauner jas@dadent.wustl.edu
