After 40 - 60 hours (I loose track) I *THINK* it's actually working for the most part. =20 Before certain people get pi$$ed off about this not being a Solaris list - chill for a sec! =20 I'm just looking for some materials that can help me understand the whole configure/make/compile/linking/etc. stuff. Someone that knew this stuff could've probably resolved my issues in a few hours. It seems COMPLETELY overly complex to me - maybe cause the developer tries to make it as portable as possible, but with every *nix like things putting files wherever they want, different cc's / ld's, etc. - I can see where it can get hairy. =20 Anyway, TIA for your input. Hopefully this experience and the references you can point me to will help the next time I try to get something onto FreeBSD! =20 TIA! =20 Gary
