I grabbed the rsynth port from FreeBSD.org and compiled it in my 1.1.5.1 box no problem. Since it is not too great without the dictionary, I also got that from: ftp://ota.ox.ac.uk88/pub/ota/dicts/710/text710.dat.gz However rsynth does not find the dictionary in /usr/local/lib which is the default in dict.c Is this caused by some deficiency in 1.1.5.1 or does it happen in 2.x as well Amancio, thanks for telling us about this. _-_|\ Terry Dwyer E-Mail: tdwyer@netbsd08.dn.itg.telecom.com.au / \ System Administrator Phone: +61 9 491 5161 Fax: +61 9 221 2631 *_.^\_/ Telecom Australia Telstra Corporation MIME capable mailer v Perth WA ( I do not speak for Telstra or Telecom )
