<generous whack> > Marv Marv, alot of times a particular package is being called for - like a .h or so; or you get complaints about PKG_CONFIG_PATH= being wrong; alot of times, you can do a "locate" for the necessary file and then point the PKG_CONFIG_PATH towards that particular directory: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/whateverelse/ I know the feeling; and here's something else for ya; sometimes, when you freshly untar/ungzip something and before you run the ./configure script, you can always try running: aclocal autoreconf autoconf automake ...then try running the ./configure script again...just a few tips I've learnt over the years... -- stephen kuhn - proprietor __________________________________________________________________ illawarra computer services :: a kuhn media australia venture http://kma.0catch.com :: mobile 0410.728.389 Serving Sydney, The Illawarra, South Coast and Rural NSW __________________________________________________________________ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents __________________________________________________________________ Mandrake GNU/Linux 10.0 OE/Kernel 2.6.3-7/ No Viruses here.
