Do you mind posting your SlackBuild and slack-desc on pastebin? this way, the format will be kept like the original and not mixed up due to email wrapping or any other factor It's at: http://pastebin.com/Dythzi6i ... my only thought is the eccentric version number might be causing problems

It should go without saying that you should run 'removepkg golly-2.4' before installing the new package. Otherwise, you'll have 2 programs with the same contents. --Larry On Thu, Dec 27, 2012 at 5:27 AM, Willy Sudiarto Raharjo will...@gmail.comwrote: http://pastebin.com/Dythzi6i ... my
