I've just made an error during installation. At the dialog I selected BOTH c-ares and IPV6. That caused an error: curl-7.16.0_1 does not support both c-ares and IPv6 - disable one of them. OK. I thought I'd simply run "make install clean" again and at the dialog I would make my selection. However, I do not get to the dialog. My choices have been saved somewhere and are being re-used. I need to clean up from my first effort. What do I need to do to wipe the slate clean? malcolm
