Unlike the rosy picture I had painted about SUA in my previous post, I've ran into a lot of problems with it once I have installed it on my new version of Vista Ultimate.  First off, I enabled SUA through the Control Panel, then I went to download the SDK and utilities off of Microsoft's Website.  After I installed everything (by doing default and clicking Next), it told me to restart my computer.  It turned off fine, but it couldn't turn back on!

It went to the recovery screen because it could not start Windows Vista properly.  Talk about problems eh?  It then asked me if I wanted to go back to previous settings, I was pissed at this point and opted no, just for the hell of it to see.  It still attempted the repair process, taking about 20 minutes, could not find anything, then restarted.  This time, it restarted fine…wtf?  After all that installations of the SDK and utilities, I have the C shell and the K shell on my start menu, neither of which I prefer.  So I went to install bash…but I don't know how to use their pkg utilities.

I read online and they told me just to do pkg_update -L <what I want to install>.  Well, I didn't have pkg utilities installed, lol, talk about problems, I had less problems with Cygwin, but since you're aware of my stance…Cygwin is the last thing I want to try.  So, I went to the InteropSystems website and finally downloaded the proper shell script to install pkg utilities (finding this thing took me about half an hour).  After a few pkg_updates, I got libraries installed, bash and rxvt.  Now, my goal is mrxvt, not just plain old rxvt…this is where the real problem occurred.

Well, I don't want to detail all the things that I have went through just yet.  This will be content for another post if I ever get mrxvt compiled under SUA.  But to summarize the process up, it's nothing BUT Segmentation fault.  Not good, and it's segfaulting on strncmp() function…wtf?  I have no idea why it would do such a thing, other than the fact that strncmp() was actually #define somewhere else.  I just don't believe that #define would cause this kind of thing.  I'll just have to see how it goes and then detail what I went through when I've successfully compiled mrxvt.  More later!
