On Mandrake, either there's a command that I've never heard of named
"this", or there's a bug in configure/makefile. This occurs after I do my
best to correct the 'no rule to make target ../bin/circle' problem....
And there seems to be something very strange about the way the standard
include files are coded for. I have them, they're in the usual places
(/usr/include and subdirs). And sometimes they're even found...
Sometimes. limits.h, for example, is right there - but during make, I get
a whole bunch of errors complaining that it cannot be found - sandwiched
between the "success" messages... for limits.h!
I'll put one more day into this - does anyone have a makefile that's known
to work that they can send me?
All I really wanted to do was run a small MUD for my family and friends -
this is starting to get deep. I get quite enough seriously buggy code at
work, thanks.

Due to the amazing (and disgusting) amount of unsolicited email (spam) we
have been receiving, site-wide email filters have been installed at
catherders.com. Exact details of how this has been configured will not be
disclosed (I don't want the darned spammers to figure workarounds), but I
will say that mail from .tw and .kr domains is bounced without exception.
If this makes PacRim folks unhappy, get those open relays fixed, folks!
