Thanks, Earnie, I'll keep working on it. I'm trying to put together a
science/math "exporation" tool where I can do some electromagnetics and
stuff... bessel fcns and fem codes, etc. Just getting really sucked in to
Python right now, and on the c front I'm thinking I might be able to get
away with scipy's so kindly provided gcc3.2.3 ATLAS_LAPACK precompiled XP P4
dot-a's! - should be pretty good match for my machine ? (sorry for the
aside, but is there a way to convert the .a's to "shared"
library/dll?-should I be using a shared library on XP box?).
I really do want to learn to use the MSYS/MinGW to compile from source,
maybe somehow the line ends are getting messed up along the way, I'll look
for it....but I'm still confused because the error line
sed: file ./confstat2636-30293/defines.sed line 24: Unterminated `s'
seems to be sed complaining about a defines.sed file having an error it on
line 24, but I know of no confstat2636-30293 directory (supposedly in ./ -
the current directory) in the first place! Is not ./ the directory I am
in/running configure from? There is no such dirctory I know of and I think
I was wrong - it probably never is ever created...huh.
Anyway, Thanks Again and Best Rgds, Rob
