RE: pdmenu dependency / seg fault
Gave it a quick try and seems to work fine. I'll try to work with it some
more later today or tomorrow, and if any problems come up, I'll let you
know.
Thanks for the quick response.

The link problem has been caused by some build problem. This is supposed to
be fixed in the next release. The Segmentation fault happens in the gmp
library, probably because of devfs. Since gmp doesn't make any sense on
s390,
I have disabled it and rebuilt pdmenu. Could you give it a try. You find it
at
http://people.debian.org/~gt/pdmenu/
If it works for you, I will update the package accordingly for the next
release.
