Our messages are crossing out of sync. After receiving a series of helpful messages I noted how I resolved the problem a little while ago, marking the msessage RESOLVED. I can confirm that the matching pairs of binutils and libr0 in both the testing (stretch) and unstable (Sid) repositories work with Trinity R14.0.5 and Siduction. I'm currently using the Sid versions. I greatly appreciate you help and continued work on Trinity. -- SENT BY: Lynn McCarty
