Is there a reason to be under usr/local/include, if not, I think it needs to be corrected, as testquran expects it to be there! I'll try the prefix thing and i'll let you know :), even though this shall be done automatically :) > also, after getting "testquran" to compile and run, > > there is a problem: > > "Error initializing libquran, code -5" i do have > > package installed!

To fix this, I think you need to go through all error 5 areas and change it to a custom message! This requires time, or think of another way to handle error messages! As for me, I tried to go through it all, to see where the error message hits. The thing is, the debugger crashes at function "getuid()" in initializing! i.e. I cannot continue with debugging, it keeps saying "function unreachable" and/or "no debugging info found/applied" and such a thing! Totally lost there :D.

As for the patches you generated so far, are they in the CVS yet? if not, they need to be upthere for new comers, and the explenation on the INSTALL file, on how to get around some issues. Wassalam 3alaikum. Nabil Ben Khalifa new file might look like this: file INSTALL: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INSTALLATION STEPS: ------------------ Compiling libquran ------------------ ./configure make su -c 'make install' ------------------- Compiling libqruan CVS ------------------- If downloaded from CVS: make -f Makefile.cvs ./configure make su -c 'make install' If it complains about "./ltmain.sh' not found" try "libtoolize --force" before "make -f Makefile.cvs" for ubuntu users: "sudo make install" instead of "su -c make install" you might need to "configure --prefix=/usr" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
