Crap, I have no such file. How in blazes do I not have that file?? Oh. The instance of pkg-config on that machine is the ancient one distributed with Solaris. I HATE HATE HATE when commercial OSs bundle free software, because it's always ancient. I've just built a new pkg-config, and now I have pkg.m4 along with my other m4 files. Thanks for the pointer. I'm starting a fresh gaf compile now. -Dave > -- Dave McGuire Port Charlotte, FL _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
