Exactly, if you know something is needed provide it! Especially if it is not provided with shrink wrapped versions of the os. -Mark

Installing from setups / red carpet works like a charm. I think this is the problem in general with makefiles. We really should have something better, but this would be a lot of work. For example, the thing shouldn't say "libgc 2.0.0.0 < 2.1.1.1, I do not like it, ERROR, I do not install for you"... In this new era it should be something like: "Dude, you didn't have the correct version of libgc, I installed a newer one for you my master". Ultimatly, this could be possible with a MSBuild-like clone. Eventually, we'll get there :).
