I have a couple of 2.2.8 systems, and a 2.1.7 running. I think if I were to try to upgrade them, I'd do a binary install of 4.0 (or 4.1?) and make sure the 2.2 compatability libraries were installed. That's gotta be faster and easier than the several-step download and compile you're contemplating. -crl -- Chad R.
