I suggest a: cd /usr/src make beforeinstall make all There is a pre-pass that's done in the beforeinstall that moves the right include files into place. And no, I can't say I've ever liked it either, but I have nothing better to suggest for now.. > P.S. While I'm here, is there anything I should know before typing > "make install" in /usr/src?

No, it's not quite _that_ pathological.. :-) I suggest `make world', myself. This will also do all the beforeinstall stuff. Jordan
