Well, OK, I think you are right: the included things do actually help very much. Sorry. I think it's a testament effectiveness of the MPL-included things that I am not always aware of the bits. I don't let a package manager mess with installing AGG anymore. I just use the MPL-included one for MPL. Because of version drift, mostly. So never mind: I like the MPL-provisioned things as "internal" dependencies, if it works the same as the current MPL-AGG datetime etc. - boyd Boyd Waters Scientific Programmer National Radio Astronomy Observatory Socorro, New Mexico http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~bwaters ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
