Jim, you sould use relatice path names ;-) ... Where is -lspigot? I just typed ./configure :-). The spigot library is available from ftp://ftp.cs.uwm.edu/pub/FreeBSD/spigot/spigot.tar.gz or from ports collection. I am not sure why the type is disabled in vic. I suppose there is a reason. You could ask the author about why. The default for for the meteor to come up in ``auto'' mode which should auto detect pal or ntsc input -- but since I don't have a PAL device here I can't really test what is going on with vic and pal. Can someone with a PAL input device confirm that vic works with that type of device? Are there any problems? Thanks, -Jim
