What's happening is that something is tricking the make process into thinking that it is trying to compile a linux version of the libraries and it doesn't find the right stuff for being on linux. But like I said, my Windows 98 installation is identical to the one on the Windows 95 machine which is compiling the libraries just fine. Go figure. jdm
