RE: grub 0.97 installation problem

[vibhooti]

Hi,

I am trying to run fiasco's hello world program from
(http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/fiasco/use.html). I was getting problems in 
running it.
modaddr command was not working, so I posted the problem n got the
following reply from


After looking through our documentation in disbelieve, I must confess
that it is our fault: We are using a modified version of Grub that has
several additional convenience functionality. This version (0.97) can be
obtained here: http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/~adam/grub/

Sorry for the inconveniences, we will update our documentation soon.

Regards, Ron.



So i patched as folloowing.
 patch -p0 <../grub-0.97-os.1.diff
n then following commands were run.
cd gru
./configure CC=gcc32
make
make check

"make check" gives following error

address@hidden grub-0.97]# make check
