Ok, we currently have the 'linux_lib' package, which is quite suitable for people who want to run Lunix binaries. However setting up tools to build Linux binaries is a Right Royal pain, made no easier at all by the crap they call "distributions". Is it felt that there's some interest in a package that would put all the bits in more-or-less the right place? Obviously, this isn't going to track their patch-of-the-hour environment, but if we base it on the same release as the 'linux_lib' package, people should have a fairly consistent environment to work with. I've just gone through the horror involved here, and I thought it might be good to do this before it all fades away again. Any advice (erich?) would be appreciated... -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
