Klaus <a little rant> This is one of the reasons that progress is so slow in the free software environment. Every other time they upgrade <pick a major gnu or linux software function>, it renders everything (or large portions) obsolete and unusable for a while. Changing the calling sequence or returns from a favorite function, or function abc() is now deprecated, and everyone needs to use abc_d(), etc. It matters not whether it's glibc, XFree, KDE, or GNOME - they always reinvent the wheel and change the rules. I've been spoiled working in the IBM mainframe software arena for most of my adult life. When you upgrade from one IBM OS release to another, most of the time you don't even need to recompile/reassemble unless you want to exploit some new functionality. </a little rant> _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
