RE: Problems building Amaya 4.2.1

Irene -

This was from the source tar file, and I finally figured out what happened.
After I unpacked the source, I started the ../configure, and at the same
time
I started deleting stuff from old versions of Amaya.  I expected the libwww
included with the source to be somewhere below the Amaya directory, not at
the
same level, so I deleted it thinking it was from an older version.

I re-extracted, and everything configures and compiles fine.

Thanks for the help, and sorry for my confusion.

Jack

I didn't understand if you downloaded the source tar file or the CVS
version.
The source tar file is complete and include libwww sources.
Installation form CVS is explained in our page
