Thanks. In process of doing that now. Got Xcode, that takes awhile. Tried the compile, needed command line tools, got that. Then the install went OK, really heated up this little Core M!! :) But I forgot to get the damned X11. Getting that now. I hate installers that say 'about a minute' and then just sit there. If the blasted MacBook wasn't getting so warm you'd never know it was doing anything. -- Lloyd from the Macbook 12"
