I had the same problem with the less program, and I use the next steps to compile it and it works fine now: 1. Use the makefile.bsd42 2. Change the GLOB variable to 0 in the makefile 3. Change the LIBS variable to '-lcurses -lbsd' 4. Type make and enjoy less! Hope this helps... -- ***** Greetings from Mexico! ***** Juan Gabriel Ruiz Pinto Internet: Ing.
