awesome.... very helpful... the name is Mark by the way. Thanks a lot.   Who knew there was a "file database"? I assumed
it was looking at the linux equivelant of the fat table.

  Hello Dave,

  Sometimes simply knowing where to look can solve problems ... sounds
  like you have most of the install part down.  Take a look @
  http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-Building-HOWTO-7.html
  Particularaly the area talking about editing the makefile to point to
  cnon standard library locations.

  In addition here are a few commands that may be of assistance to you:

  // updates the database of files on the machine for searching

  updatedb

  //general search
  // find [location] [commands]
  // \* is a wildcard
  // following finds all files that start with foo and end with recursively from root

  find / foo\*bar

  // to find running processes

  ps

  // to kill a proccess
  // you get the # of the process from ps

  kill #

  // to see if a particular process is running (httpd in this example)
  ps ax | grep httpd

  // if you want to see a programs dependencies (ssh in this example)
  ldd ssh

  Hope some of that helps.
