Hi David,
vim shows lineending with :set list.
I xycat your compressed file directly into
/usr/local/portage/..../files/.
and the compilation runs through without problems.
No I have a running with no working graphical output.
I think I will give up...it is too much work to get this
old code successfully running ... for both of us.
Thanks a lot for youre help (exclamation mark) nonetheless, David!
Cheers
