Hi,

Since my last post, I have had no more luck in starting X. I get 
the same errors.

So, I deceided to give X a break and try to compile vim.

I got alot of strange errors about permissions and stack backtraces
when I ran the makefile.

Investigating further, the simple hello world program will compile
and link fine provided I dont have a line like
#include "stdio.h"
in it.

If I have that line the compiler barfs, gives a core dump and prints
a backtrace.

This happens if I am logged in as root or as another user.

I have checked the permissions in /usr/include/stdio.h
and the owner and group are bin. Root is listed in /etc/group as
a member of bin.

This looks like a mess up in my file permissions etc.

---[/etc/group]...

Does this group file look okay to you?
