Yes, I have seen that happen too. Did you use --with-includes and --with-libs? I have seen cases where the actual compile of the software honors those flags, but the configure tests don't. Is that what you are seeing? I think config.log will show you the actual tests. > 2) > The makefile contains many rm.

If we use -f, then you will have rm -if, and I don't know how that is supposed to behave. Also, if there is an issue with the rm, I think most will want to see it rather than have -f ignore it. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
