I followed the install instructions and compiled the code about 2 times. It took long time, only then sent out the mail. I thought ccmake was included in the package list, only to find out it wasn't actually there. I am writing a follow up mail in this regard too. -- Regards Arunmozhi Twitter: @tecoholic Website: http://arunmozhi.in IRC Nick: teco
