I finally figured it out. /usr/include/ss was a _file_, not a directory. The upshot of this is that install will happily overwrite that file in turn with each of the things it is supposed to stick in the ss include directory. A whiner might call this a bug, but I have far bigger fish to fry. :-) -- Nick Sayer <nsayer@quack.kfu.com> | N6QQQ @ N0ARY.#NORCAL.CA.USA.NOAM | Is it a "hate crime" to +1 408 249 9630, log in as 'guest' | hate Big Brother?
