You can easily make make continue on with things that aren't broken simply by using the ``-k'' flag. When doing a make world, I always have the environment variable set like this (tcsh -- sh uses a different syntax, of course): setenv MAKEFLAGS '-k' I also have all stdout and stderr directed to a large log file. Then I can review the file when everything is finished, and see if anything important broke that requires my attention. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.
