MacOS X: ------- (1) Pointed out by David: static linking is not supported on MacOS X, see http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1118.html Solaris: ------- (1) This was pointed out by rog [at] iis dot fhg dot de (Ingo Rogalsky): "It isn't possible, to link samhain statically with Solaris. This is a Solaris issue (see Sun Infodoc ID12624) and not a samhain problem." Linux, maybe others: ------------------- (1) With gdm (the GNOME display manager), GNOME version 1.2, using the file hiding kernel module (configure option --enable-khide) at system boot may cause problems (keyboard locked up). No problem observed with kdm (the KDE display manager). In case of problems, you may need to reboot into single-user mode and edit the boot init script ... it should be noted that on the test system, gdm sometimes locked up the keyboard on other occasions (e.g. after a fsck). (2) With gcc 2.95.2 (and glibc 2.1.3), it is not possible to use --with-database and --enable-debug at the same time (the code will segfault). This is apparently a compiler bug, and it does not happen with gcc 3.0.
