Whew! But if you used my script, there should not have been anything that was to be put into /usr/bin. My script I believe specifies the prefix as /usr/local, and *everything* goes in that tree, even the libraries. And I don't think SuSE would dare try and override that, or even know how. Humm, old config.status, config.cache maybe, darnedifIknow. As root, move my script out of there, and do a make clean. Then su amanda, move that script back in, remove config.status and config.cache so you are starting with a clean slate and try it again. If you can't remove them go back to root just long enough to do it. This thing is turning into a problem child, the kind I'd spank with a fresh install of SuSE just to make *me* feel better :). Has anybody else thought of anything I've missed? I sometimes miss the glaringly obvious as you all well know by now. -- Cheers, Gene AMD [EMAIL PROTECTED] 320M [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512M 99.22% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.
