Norman, did you install Swig? Extracting the Swig stuff from swig-1.3.6.tar.gz and then feeding to the configure script "--PREFIX=/usr" (without quotes) normally gives me support for those disabled ones. It also enables properly support for the others.
Also what were the configure predicates that you used for installing your release of OWFS? And even which distribution did you choose? (Or have been using.) The RPM packaged ones and the Debian packaged ones, including Debian itself, require the -devel packages to be installed for some functions to be enabled when building user supplied stuff. I should mention that I happen to be a Slackware user since 1999. See here for example: http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/Linux-2635-and-early-days-of-Linux/ It seems Tux is all of 19 years of age, and Slackware will be of age in two years. ----- Gregg C Levine [email protected] "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Owfs-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/owfs-developers
