"reinstall" _does_ work, and the original plaintiff's problems were _solved_ by upgrading 'make' first. Please reread your statement and see if you can reword it so that it doesn't read either "you are stupid" or "you are a liar". Now, if you have a reasoned argument for why, in your context, the reinstall is looking for things in the "wrong" place, I'm all ears. However, you'll have to work out how the install target works during a 'make world' while the install target during 'make reinstall' doesn't. Until then, you are trying to tell me I haven't witnessed and tested what I have, and you're not going to get much of a reception with that. > Tom -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
