In light of the other replies, I think the smartest approach is to not recompile. Recompilation is dangerous because of library dependencies. The safest approach is to set your keywords to x86 and be careful not to downgrade things unless they are broken. This especiallly holds for libraries. Paul ps. You could even just leave the machine alone for a while without updating. That should guarantee stability. -- Paul de Vrieze Researcher Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.cs.kun.nl/~pauldv
