The utilities: chgrp chmod chown cp dd df dir dircolors du install ln ls mkdir mkfifo mknod mv rm rmdir shred touch vdir sync. As you can see, it's essential, required, and base. If you're running debian, you're got fileutils. So I guess double-check your path and permissions and try to find out exactly where it's failing (by digging into the makefile a bit). -- Vineet http://www.anti-dmca.org Unauthorized use of this .sig may constitute violation of US law. echo Qba\'g gernq ba zr\! |tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M'
