Greetings,
Thanks for the quick reply....I tried the -fpermission that you
suggested...and it seems to configure without complaining too much...but
when I try to exec blackbox from my .xinitrc using 'exec blackbox' my
openwindows session just freezes.
I downloaded the latest stable blackbox 0.61.1 and I was able to compile
with -fpermissive and was able to start blackbox...but the display is
mangled...I can't really see anything.
ho hum.
about to download egcs and try it.
