My boxes are fairly up-to-date.

There's nothing in the docs (such as they are) that say you should run that instead of automake or autoconf...hell, INSTALL says you should do the usual ./configure && make && make install, which obviously doesn't work out-of-the-box because there's no configure script. At this point, I issued "make distclean," made up a tarball, and put it up here: http://alfter.us/files/libiec61883-20050214.tar.bz2 This has the configure script already built, which should make installation a bit easier. Since I'd like Portage to know about everything that gets installed, I threw together an ebuild: http://alfter.us/files/libiec61883-20050214.ebuild While I was typing this, MythTV rebuilt itself with FireWire support without any problems. Now I just have to wait until later to see if it actually works. :-) > Then don't forget to add 'firewire' to your USE flags before > emerging mythtv, otherwise it won't have firewire support. The MythTV ebuild looks for ieee1394, not firewire. Are the two considered synonymous by Portage? _/_ / v \ Scott Alfter (remove the obvious to send mail) (IIGS( http://alfter.us/ Top-posting! \_^_/ rm -rf /bin/laden >What's the most annoying thing on Usenet?
