I don't have any trouble building it on my Miata under Linux but I do have a bit more memory (128M). SimOS needs a severe hacking before it works at all (I have patches if you are interested) and it might thrash your machine a bit since it gives 64M of memory to the virtual machine. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
