Guys and Gals, I posted a note here about beyond linux from scratch (blfs) a few minutes ago, then re-read the digest. Seems some of you might need to know how to compile libpng from sources - and where to get 'em. I recommend the blfs book for common sense instructions on this and other source builds. http://beyond.linuxfronscratch.org Although designed for the 'Linux From Scratch' (lfs) pseudo-distribution (it's a book on how to build a leading-edge linux using sources alone), the instructions work for many other distros too. Just don't ask 'how to's' on their lists unless using lfs! :-) I want to add my thanks to El Cid, too. Let's have Moor! :-))) -- Cheers, Richard
