You're right. Just a typo in the mail.

Yes, sure. I hadn't touched the makefile.

Yes.

Phew... build complete. But don't ask how. I compiled the sources
without using the makefile but loooooooong command-line arguments. Step
by step. Maybe your are right and something is broken with my local
installation.

To activate the datastring and histogram features I had to copy
EAM_DATASTRINGS and EAM_HISTOGRAM options from config.cyg to config.nt.
It may be a good idea to add them to the CVS version of config.nt. Saves
hassle.

Again thanks for your help.
