It's usually easy enough to do, even for newbies like me, but sometimes it's hard to figure what libraries you might need :) You shouldn't have to rename Makefile.in You might need to run something like ./configure first, and this creates the Makefile, then you can run make (and sometimes make install after that, depending on the situation - otherwise you might just have a single binary to copy to a bin directory, create a link to, or modify your path etc etc) tim -- --------------------------------------------------------- Tim (I don't spell check) Fairchild Kuttabul, Queensland, Australia. --------------------------------------------------------- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.home.aone.net.au/tims --------------------------------------------------------- -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
