If you have gcc already, then you should be okay. I just downloaded cksfv-1.3.10.tar.gz (which ended up being an ungzipped tar archive even though the file name still had the .gz on the end). So a 'mv cksv-1.3.10.tar.gz cksv-1.3.10.tar' and a 'tar -xvf cksv-1.3.10' and I had a new directory. I cd'd to cdsv-1.3.10 and ran './configure' which worked fine. Then I ran 'make' and 'make install' and voila. Of course, the directories it defaults to putting it in may not be in your path. The '/usr/local' directories are in my path, but I can't remember if I added them myself or if they are automatically put there. -Jason -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
