[KLUG Members] Problems with compiling package

[Nate Melvin]

Hi Ross,


     Thanks for your help. I couldn't get the .rpm to install through
the package manager, but since there weren't a lot of directories to the
package, I just manually installed them, which worked just
fine...infinitely easier than compiling, which never did work for me for
this particular package.  Again, thanks.

Nate
