I did get some help getting set up on irc. Very sorry for the noise level.
No worries if there a glitch somewhere, I know it;s alpha. It's _really good_ alpha. I did get the help I needed off line, thanks Tom, I'm having some challenges with e17 on a perhaps non-standard system. I've been through about 20 iterations in the last 3 weeks of compiling everything from svn. The difficulties are due to my non-standard system, e17 compiles fairly easily on Linux system I've used. Apple X11 (Quartz) on MacOS 10.5.8 has come a long way in its development and I'm compiling against the latest stable development Apple X11 release and XCode. I'm taking extensive notes, I have to use non-standard configure flags and environment variables for just about every package. e17 did manage to run once, but image loading wasn't working, and I'm trying to fix that now. When I'm having trouble and pulling my hair out it's due to my own ambition/stupidity of choosing this environment, my emotions are not meant to be directed to anyone. I'm grateful for the help I've received here. Currently I'm following up on errors I don't need to post about. When I have success I will post details, and will update the wiki if there's interest. Thanks again Tom for setting me up on #irc.
