The file "configure.log" contained the following: configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target I've seen this warning message before: it was due to the configure(1) script being invoked as "./configure ..." (i.e., with three periods as an argument). Was this the case with you? If so, then you should know that the ellipsis (the three dots) is a standard convention for indicating optional arguments and is not an actual argument, itself. > Thanks, > Greg > > ----------------------------------------------------------- > Greg Stossmeister > Head - Collaborative Tools and Metadata Group > NCAR/Earth Observing Laboratory (EOL) > Telephone: (303)497-8692 Facsimilie:(303)497-2044 > e-mail: address@hidden > Mailing Address: Shipping Address: > NCAR/EOL UCAR Foothills Lab 1 > P.O.
