Sorry, what was of annoyance?
I told SkyFlash he would have to do checkout under linux, as he was
trying to compile version copied from windows - with different line endin=

Do you mean checking out of cvs is hard? It is just one commmand, when
we will have package, you won't even need it. Arianne is still alpha,=20
and changing really fast now, so making any packages for now is useless.

Hmmm, so you should have only downloaded the one needed...

Sorry, but it's not really possible, it's even very very hard to make a
binary package for *nix systems, because of different and sometimes not
compatible libraries.
The packaging system on linux is made to not distribute always all
nedeed files, and that's why we are using already made libs, and not
writing our own.

Yes, I agree.
But using packaging system is really, really easy, you does no have to
be some guru, to issue just one command.

Second, compiling Arianne under Linux require now to use 2 commands -
autogen.sh and make, and that's all. Yes, it can fails, as makefiles are
only 5 days old. I will upgrade them with time to make it compile on most
systems without user ingeration (even now it should work on at least
half of possible configurations).
