That name sounds like a certain movie about a president, and with the named 
names...  A bit of a political statement, it would seem.  <g>

's working quite well, here.  I gotta try loading, say, a.chello.binaries, 
still, tho.

This was the first time I've installed the tarballs in some time, I think 
since the gtk2 switch, in fact.  I had to go d/l a bunch of -devel packages 
to get configure to complete w/o error, but urpmf and urpmi significantly 
smoothed that process, here on Mdk.  urpmf is a relatively new addition to 
the urpm command family, which allows one to plug in the file name and get a 
list back of all the rpms containing that file, along with the path.  The 
great thing is that unlike rpm, it works on uninstalled packages as well as 
installed packages, so it's far easier to find the needed package, based on 
configure's missing file hints, than it was b4.  I can definitely appreciate 
the lowering of the hassle threshhold, as it made figuring out what the 
script needed SO much easier.
