You're welcome in advance :-)

NOTE:  There was one other problem with the xman pathes but it turned out
       to be someone attempting to patch the wrong version of xman.

As the author of both xman and the latest version of patches to it, I have
tried to make it work on as many machines as possible.  As alawys, there are 
always things that slip through the cracks.  These patches have been
avaliable for almost a month now, and if there were bugs of the magnitude
that you seem to have encountered, I think my mail box would be flooded 
with hate mail (1/2 :-). 

As things stand currently, I have not received any comments from the net about
xman failing to build, either before or after the new set of patches.  This
leads me to believe that it is most likely something that you did, or you
have an obscure configuration.  I would work under the assumption that somehow
you did something wrong.  If you find this not to be the case, send me personal
mail describing the problem in detail, and your system's configuration.  I
will then try to be of more help.
