That would be much apricaited as I really have no love for them. Especially 
after thier last round of shenanigans.

Yes this would be great.

well not actually. I have been able to get clear to last part of the cimpile 
were bibletime is doing the last linking. This is right before the compile 
finishes. After this it is done and starts teh make install. Were it always 
failed before was on the linking of the qt-libs wich for dependency ask for 
one of the xlibs dealing with font rendering (can't remember the name right 
now). It always said that it was not ther when in fact I looked and the 
function was indeed in the lib. I recompiled xfree, qt and kde(the last two 
to turn in the static builds) and none of this fixed the situation. I may 
need to force qt static to build a littel different to get this to go. Oh 
also I had to recompile libmng also to get the static libs. Anyway it's gets 
so close I hate to give up. I'm also hoping that the newer gcc 3.2 and the 
build tools may help this. We will see.

Thats is fine I havn't actually used cvs for this project yet either aven 
though I've been helping out for quite a few years. if you would like my 
current spec let me know.

I never thought that I mostly would just apriciate the help. I will say one 
thing about the specs I make at least they build when many others have tried 
and get results that are less than usable. At least they have been of use and 
not just for myself.

Thanks for the response. Also if the setup wizard gets done I'm really going 
to push to get this thing into mandrake.
