Scott, thanks for the hints, but I've done that. :( I also do a "pwd" just to make sure where I am. I should have also have said: I cvsupped to RELEASE 5 yesterday at about 8pm. I've looked for that file "lib.a" on my HDD, but I can't find it. I used: find / -name "lib.a" Thank you for your quick response, though, Scott, I appreciate it. Got any more ideas?
