"Never get involved in a land war in Asia." "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line." :) More to the point, just make sure that the computer has the latest version of the developer's tools kit from Apple (last major update was Dec 2001), and try to stay away from the GnuDarwin stuff if you can help it -- that project provides a BSD version of 'make' in /usr/local that interferes with the default GNU version that Apple provides & Fink depends on. A lot of the tech support mails recently have been the result of one or the other of these issues. -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache / mod_perl / http://homepage.mac.com/chdevers/resume/ "More war soon.
