That looks good Greg, Thanks for the assistance you gave getting wsjt10 to build on Linux Mint 17. There seems to still be a lot of use of python2.7 on both the Mate and Cinnamon desktop managers, also used a lot on the mint packages. AS mint 17 is LTS it may be worth making sure that the python3 packages get used and the python2.7 get ignored as the LTS is up to 2017, so by then python4 may be around, just to complicate things :) If you want any thing tested on LM17 just ask. -- -- Best wishes /73 Richard Bown Email : [email protected] Alt Email : [email protected] HTTP : http://www.g8jvm.com nil carborundum a illegitemis ################################################################################## Ham Call G8JVM .
