If that doesn't work, include the error messages. If you are following -current, you should also be subscribed to the lists that deal with problems, such as cvs-all, hackers, -current, and etc. You can see the problem being addressed and then fixed. This used to be part of the suggested requirements for following stable and they definitely apply to current. Kent -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA http://users.owt.com/kstewart/index.html
