When you sent me follow-up mail explaining why my advice didn't work, I didn't look closely enough at your message. Specifically, I didn't notice that the error was that a header file couldn't be found. Thus, the advice I _should_ have given you was to add -I/usr/local/include . Sorry to waste your time. :-( Ciao, Sheldon. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
