No problem. The forgotten master session only explains one of the problems. I am still curious about how the configure script found SpiderMonkey, yet you had a binary that clearly was trying to link with a non-existent library. I still don't understand how /usr/local came into this--Debian packages should not store anything relevant under there. I'd like to understand these problems so that they might be avoided by other users. In any case, have fun with ECMAScript! -- Miciah Masters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> / <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list [email protected] http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
