I f you are lucky associated with some packages is a make uninstall followed by a make clean. Then the make could be run again. If these make targets are not present then maybe this will work. If you run make install again and capture the output then you can find out where things were installed. You may not have to remove the files as long as the make install just copies things. Freshening the source code with a touch command should allow you to rerun the make from the beginning. ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University telephone: (210)-999-7484
