You do not need to have GNU make installed. You can just copy the 'parallel' program to /usr/bin/parallel or where it belongs on NetBSD. If you make a "git co" of Gnu parallel there will be no difference between ./src/parallel and /usr/bin/parallel. You can just use the program from ./src/parallel or copy the program to /usr/bin/ - if you like. > Hope this makes sense. :-) > > No. Please explain. If you start with some tar-ball in NetBSD and there is no makefile, how do you then find out where to place all the files? As I dont have NetBSD I have not tried it but my guess is that any 'make' will go with the autoconf and automake which is used. /hans
