Check `etc/MACHINES' for recognized configuration names." i then opened up the machines file, which told me to properly configure for Apple PowerPC to edit "src/m/macppc.h" and remove an /if 0 and /endif from the last block of code. I did that, and after saving the file, i reran congifure. I got the same error message. I have verifyied that i have done exactly what I have laid out here, and nothing else Any suggestions? I need to get this built and running as soon as I can :) thanks, john __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.
