So next just ran "make and it didn't like the location of libasound, and LM didn't like a symlink. So I created /usr/lib64 and copied libasound.so* in to it ran make and a working executable appeared in the bin directory I looks quite nice -- -- Best wishes /73 Richard Bown Email : rich...@g8jvm.com HTTP : http://www.g8jvm.com nil carborundum a illegitemis ################################################################################## Ham Call: G8JVM .
