It gets worse by the hour. I redownloaded 1.3.3.13 from SourceForge, went through the usual machinations and now I get a message that I have an obsolete package: WARNING: you are using the obsolete 'PKGCONFIG' macro use FindPkgConfig This is on the cmake step. So I deleted CMakeCache.txt and reran cmake . which got rid of the error message. But it still errors off. Time to go watch TV, and study the shiny new manual some more. -- John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters http://wexfordpress.com
