Dick, The basic approach to compiling from source is to cd to the source directory and issue these commands: ./configure make sudo make-install (or su to root and run 'make-install') There used to be a nice tool that built .rpm, .deb, and .tgz files but I've not used it in many years. The above three steps should provide a functional executable that replaces the one with the longer delay. Rich -- Richard B. Shepard, Ph.D. | Have knowledge, will travel.
