Repeat until frustrated.
Been there repeatedly, done that repeatedly, Edgy and Feisty, Ubuntu and Kubuntu and Ubuntu again. No luck. I'd at least like to know how to get the necessary packages to compile. I used to be fairly adept at Unix, a decade or two ago, but no longer, and Linux isn't exactly 4.3bsd, and tools like "make" (which I never understood completely) have been enhanced or superceded. I've had a less-rusty friend try to get the whole shebang to compile under Ubuntu: still no luck. I have to go to my Windows machine, which is on only because I'm running [EMAIL PROTECTED] on its graphics card, in order to use Quackle at all: not a huge sacrifice but a right nuisance. A Debian package or the like would be great, but even some tips on how to get the thing to compile under Ubuntu would be far better than nothing. Mark., still going to the occasional tournament, watching people I used to play soaring above me in Division 1 gooley at gator dot net
