Ack, sorry I should have clarified. This is with regard to a devel 
package. The normal notion package doesn't raise any eyebrows, but the 
devel package does. I could probably make everything go much more 
smoothly by dropping the devel package. I figured a devel package was 
necessary in case users wanted to compile 3rd party modules, etc. I 
guess I should ask - has this been an issue elsewhere?

Thanks again!

Regards,
Jeff
