Well, I retreived gcc and got it to work, but now, another problem. While doing the emacs make, I get the following message: Warning: lisp library (/users/demarsee/lib/lisp) does not exist. Where /users/demarsee/lib is my LIBDIR. Now, I go hunting for lisp, and I can't find it anywhere. Is this something else I need to get from elsewhere, or is it just buried where I can't find it in some directory somewhere? Another question: If you make private System Folders for each user, can they reside on an NFS volume? I created a user whose home directory is on an NFS volume mounted as a directory under / (/home, to be precise), but issuing the systemfolder command just gets a Shared files ... find: getwd: can't open .. Private files ... find: getwd: can't open .. and, if I create a System Folder on the local disk, then copy it over to the NSF volume, issuing a Mac32 command just gets me a "Can't open Toolbox Environment" message and drops me back into the console, even though it looks like all the symbolic links are fine. Anyone got an idea why I can't get a System Folder to work on an NFS volume? -- Regards, Darryl Marsee Syracuse University
