If you didn't install the developer package you should do that, since you will need the include files. Also, I agree with Greg that (x)emacs is the easiest way to write/edit C code. Install one or the other and read the docs about the C code macro stuff. Make sure to enable colors, it adds to the excitement. :) Good luck, Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
