Wow..this question is coming up once a week now! Short answer: go to ftp.netgod.net/x and get the updated packages. The two .tar.gz files that you are referring to are source packages.. they contain the human-readable source code that can be compiled into executable programs. Don't grab them unless you know that you must, because building debs will take several hours. -- Stephen Pitts [EMAIL PROTECTED] webmaster - http://www.mschess.org
