You could also provided a --with-pgui-libs=/usr/src/picogui/pgserver/include option in the ./configure script. That would allow ppl who do not want to install pgserver to still be able to build whatever other software they desire EKS - Dave Poirier _______________________________________________ Pgui-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pgui-devel
