yes, in fact I was looking for libbtparse libbtparse0 or libtparse-devel in=
=20
google which are names given by the debian packager (my only reference at t=
he=20
beginning) so it only pointed me to debian related pages... Fortunatly I=20
found the link of your site in one of thoose!


By the way, I have problem to build btparse, here it what it gives me (may =
be=20
I should apply the patch of the debian package to build?):

$./configure --prefix=3D/home/manu/rpm/tmp/btparse-0.34

=2E..

$make

is it that the order of the line containing antlr -gt -fe err.c .... isn't=
=20
right?
Strange because the grammar file (the .g file?)  seems to be at the end (by=
=20
the way I don't know anything of antlr!)?
