Why do you say that? Did you get an error from configure? What was the error? I supplied "i586-pc-linux" and that seemed to make it happy. I think that is wrong. Try i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1. You must use -gnulibc1 if you are using libc5. /bin/sh: ./genattr: No such file or directory This is the classic `missing interpreter' problem. Executables have an interpreter field. This is a shell for a shell script, and it is a dynamic linker for dynamically linked programs. If the interpreter is missing, you get a `No such file or directory' message, but it reports the executable file name not the interpreter name. It is the dyanmic linker that is missing, and that is probably because you configured wrong. Jim
