There is no mention of this in the > docs, but I compiled it Well, the tail of the config.log contains a lot of *why* things failed. Anyway, You have to configure, make and *make install* all of the libraries lwp, rpc2 and rvm (in that order) before you do coda. Otherwise headers and libraries cannot be found be configure. I don't know why rpm's didn't work. So long, SteffenReceived on 2001-05-21 10:55:04
