Peter spec files have useful build instructions in them. Had you read the spec file for your outgoing samba, you'd havr discovered a) The need for ./configure b) A good model for the one you actually needed. The need for ./configure is pretty standard. The experience ganed here will stand you in good stead for most of the software you will actually need. btw Something I am curious about is the cost of compiling software on, say, your top-end S/390 or zSeries compared with the cost of doing the same build on your high-end PC (Athlon XP or P IV). If cost is hard to figure, elapsed time would be a good starting-point. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition. ============================== If you don't like being told you're wrong, be right!
