It either IS or IS NOT?

Lets see I wasted my free time to prove a point.. that NONE of the code in any
of the sources is viable.

I did that!

NONE of it is viable.. INCLUDEING the source provided in the cm071linux.zip.

It might compile.. but it bombs on execution causing a seg fault.

If it were not for the *PRE-COMPILED* *binaries* in that zip.. it would still
be an issue and that means moving on to the next part of this setting up
JamNNTPd would either still be on hold or dead, possibly..

Since the *PRE-COMPILED* *binaries* in the zip work, then moving on to JamNNTPd
 is not possible.

See above! Compiling rarely works! Even the code in the cm071linux.zip doesn't
work. YES it COMPILES, but a running it seg fault, core dump.

Testing is something I do a lot of....testing in re compiling, nope.

Lets say that we want to use nginx instead of Apache, not going to happen ever,
 but lets just use them as an example...

VM(s) would be setup to test nginx with the various things we do including
.htaccess, and other modules for web...

How would this testing start...

Take seup the VM with ubuntu server 14.0.4.5 and then

sudo apt-get install nginx

Then go in modify the config for some test sites... etc..

I am not blaming any one. I will say that in MY OPINION.. a lot of this could
have been resolved with:

Hey, grab cm071linux.zip at eljaco.se and then unzip it, and in the bin dir,
there are pre-compiled binaries that work.

Simple....

My reply would have been " Great, thanks... tested. works." Problem solved.

What I got was, get the source compile it yourself!

Well lets review my logs...

The source in various places, namely a certain SF site, is crap! And contains
the same error(s) that cause what ever fault that produces the "Error reading
Jam ..." Actually I have a good idea as to the issue, but I am keeping my hunch
 to myself right now.. I have a reason.

This SAME SOURCE has some JamNNTPd code that was modified 9/10/2016 and since
the CM II source there is fubar'd and it is using what ever lib to access the
JAM base then it probably is fubar'd too, and thus will cause issue with the
JAM base for CM II AND JamNNTPd.

I asked in an attempt to cut off the repeat of this with JamNNTPd.. Which is
the CORRECT CODE BASE..What I got again could have been as simple as:

The SF site has a VALID CODE BASE, with no errors or corruption to the Jam
base...working good here on MegaLinux 1.2 64b....

I have a plan to make all of this a lot, whole, no ASTOUNDINGLY A LOT SIMPLER
for any one in the future...

DEB Repo with these in it.. to install! No compiling!

AMD64, and hopefully ARMHF for the Pi's... Have to see on that one.. I am
amazed that those binaries run on an AMD64 system, since for some reason alot
of stuff is still compiled only against 32b.

I also have a plan to fix something with JamNNTPd since using thunderturkey to
access it on my end is not viable, and on Linux that is not the mainline NNTP
client, and JamNNTPd doesn't work with it, right now.

With a working CM II at least I can move on to the next part of my setup.. I
can turn up the final version of the server that will host this, and some of
the other plans I have for it...
