Hello,

I have compiled and installed the latest version of git from source. When I try to add a file to my repository I get this error: git: symbol lookup error: git: undefined symbol: deflateBound

The second time I try to run the command git outputs this warning: fatal: unable to create '.git/index.lock': File exists

Hmmm I am really lost. Tried different versions with the same result. The strange thing is that I used git some month ago without any problems. Could there be some old conflicting files on my system? Maybe from a older version of git?

root@server [/home/test]# git-init Initialized empty Git repository in /home/test/.git/ root@server [/home/test]# git add . git: symbol lookup error: git: undefined symbol: deflateBound root@server [/home/test]#

Best regards. Asbjørn Morell.
