You dont need to test to know whether if compiles or not. I think noone really helps to freebsd by compiling the source code every day looking for errors. It is better to test and contribute code. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Amor [1]Busca tu ½ naranja References 1. http://g.msn.com/8HMBES/2752??PS=47575
