Last one isn't working BTW.. Point is not let somebody else build. If on freeBSD I just do make build, it's no better than installing RPM. although I am sure there must be an option with with I can control all the parameter that autoconf supports for that package.. Same goes for gentoo.. LFS is bit too much if I have to install just one package compiled. Probably any base linux install+compiler should suffice in that case. If I have time and resources I would give freeBSD a better try... It's there on my home PC but the PC isn't in current home anymore..;-( Bye Shridhar -- Correspondence Corollary: An experiment may be considered a success if no more than half your data must be discarded to obtain correspondence with your theory. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Influence the future of Java(TM) technology.
