Talk about "freedom".
Hi Pablo, Which GNU utility provides the configure scripts that you're talking about? And which utility is guilty of appending -gnu? autoconf? I don't see that behavior happening on any of the systems I use. Is there anything stopping you from modifying the source of the culprit from appending -gnu? eric -- ___ Eric Pareja (xenos AT upm.edu.ph) | Information Management Service [IMS] \e/ Network and Systems Administrator | University of the Philippines Manila v ~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~ "Even the smallest person can change the course of the future." -Galadriel _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
