r2l 0.9.4 is available. Main changes from 0.9.2: * the binary r2l is now installed (unless using a system r2llib, because it may have a different r2l binary)
* refreshd_hook.so is optionally loaded when running biditext (using --auto-refresh) * Everything compiles, also on solaris. Things to verify: * refreshd on solaris: does it run? * Any problems left with tha system version of r2llib ?

Solved. I needed to use install-sh instead of install.sh .
