Anything newer no longer supports Alpha. I'm happy with RELENG_6 on alpha. I'm happy to test firefox3 on alpha, but need to learn about pathes. In this particular case it seems that (at least) 2 files are missing from the distribution: xptcinvoke_freebsd_alpha.cpp xptcstubs_freebsd_alpha.cpp (curiously the corresponding *alpha.cpp files are present for osf1, linux, openvms and openbsd). I think that whoever created the tar file simply forgot to add the freebsd files. I did try to contact mozilla developers directly, but no reply so far. I understand that mozilla developers put out the tar file. Perhaps the port maintainers could alert the mozilla team about the missing files, or maybe even get these 2 files. I'd be very greatful. many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 928 8233 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
