Hello, Martin
I would have to agree with Jim that I like the change referred to in
your email.  I would like to try it out, but I still haven't figured
out how to get Bibletime 1.6 to compile and install on Fedora Core 5.
I am running Sword 1.5.9 installed from RPM.
Here is a link to just about all of the output that you could possibly
want:

You may have hit the nail on the head in your last attempt at helping
me with this:

But, I don't know how to change the order of the linker flags to see if
that is the problem.  So any help that you can give me to accomplish
that would be greatly appreciated.

Since our machine has been running for almost 40 days (my record so
far :)) I would like to avoid installing Fedora Core 6 for as long as
possible.  So I would like to at least try to get Bibletime 1.6 working
on my system until such a time as I can install FC 6.

One thing I have never mentioned on this matter: I did successfully
compile and install Bibletime 1.6beta3 from CVS.  Also, I did it with
whatever version of Sword that that version of Bibletime required.  So
I don't know what's changed since 1.6beta3, but something has....

Have a Great Day/Night,
