Hello! Mick and everyone else, when building OWFS from source, do any of you provide for the configure script and preferences? I normally tell it to set the default location being /usr/ from there it works out where to place everything. Simply running the script #configure --help | less, and from those returned items you'll be able to work out what to do next. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drw...@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
