...just a short question - is there possibly a configure GUI somewhere? Something that parses "configure --help", shows a nice GUI to change the options, and offers ability to run configure $options, make and make install. No, I don't mean something that can do anything about configure-options, just a good subset of what one can see in "configure --help" is all one needs in the standard case. It would greatly simplify the paveway for unexperienced users to install-from-source-tarballs. just an idea, SCNR to ask, may be s.o. has a hint... -- guido Edel sei der Mensch, hilfreich und gut 31:GCS/E/S/P C++$++++ ULHS L++w- N++@ d(+-) s+a- h.r(*@)>+++ y++ PS++PE 5++X-
