To compile most Unix applications you do: ./configure make sudo make install >From the terminal, in the directory you decompressed the software into. (Directory is Unix speak for folder.) Of course, life is rarely that simple. Unix systems have this nasty thing called dependencies, and netatalk needed something called db (actually, Berkeley DB), so I gave up. Why did I give up so easily, because there is the potential that there is a huge chain of dependencies which will involve hours of work to build. Besides, the website says TCP only for Mac OS X -- so chance are it won't solve our little problem. NOTE: dependencies are, strictly speaking, a Unix problem. They exist everywhere, even in Mac OS. The problem is simply worse in Unix based systems. >:( Byron. -- System6 is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> System 6 Heaven <http://www.euronet.nl/users/mvdk/system_6_heaven.html> System6 info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/system6.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/system6%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
