4. Bug Reports

You are strongly encouraged to submit a bug report to bug-gnu-utils@gnu.ai.mit.edu if you have problems with this beta release of GNU Finger. Here are some things that are generally helpful to mention, when relevant:

• The GNU Finger version and where you obtained the distribution.
• Your hardware.
• Operating system.
• C Compiler used.
• The arguments you gave to `./configure'.
• Changes you made to the GNU Finger configuration files.
• Any changes you have made to the source code or installation procedures.
• Your network configuration; don't forget to mention what hardware, operating systems, and C compilers are used on each node where the bug manifests itself.
• Any problems you had during installation.

If you're having problems compiling or installing GNU Finger, then the following is particularly helpful to mention:

• The command line used to invoke configure.
• The current directory.
• The command line used to invoke make and make version (particularly if you're using GNU Make).
• A capture of the compiler output.

Please feel free to include any patches, as well.
