Actually one thing I never learned was C/C++ or OOP for that matter. But the trio of ./configure, make & make install is not very hard to do. I guess you went with the Linux compatibility thing. The only thing I've ever done with OBSD, until last week, was using it for building firewalls. So I'm not at home with how to use the ports etc. (I came from a SCO/SGI/Linux background.) Plus it seems an outpoint to use them, as they could easily ruin the security. Especially if run on a firewall. :) What I would definitely appreciate are more detailed instructions to get to apply the etherape patch and so on. I.e. what I know about compiling under C is to run the three steps. I can debug failed dependencies and add them but not yet familiar with the BSD particulars (if they differ). So I don't know where I might fail. > etherape did work OK with the patches mentioned. I needed to get into > the "preferences" and twiddle a little before the display made any > sense at all. Ah, I just installed X and ran the xorg config and fired it up with startx. Not legibility problems at all.
