The answer to D. would already be known to you if A. was true, as I have explained at _least_ twice in public mail on this thread exactly why this is a one-off gotcha. Bruce has even clarified the situation with extreme precision in yet another mail. To summarise : - 'make includes' _is_ run as part of 'make world'. - the include files have to be installed with something, namely the 'install' program. - the sources for 'install' inherit a module from 'ls' which knows about some new file flags - the header which defines these flags cannot be installed until install is built which can't be built until the header is installed So you have to help it out by presuming your 'install' is up to it and running the 'make includes' by hand. > Simon -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
