You can checkout a specific tag by doing: $ git checkout -b v3.0.5 To compile from the git repository you need to have automake, autoconf, and libtool installed. Then you can do: $ ./autogen.sh configure, make, as usual. ------------------------------ Vikas Gorur Engineer - Gluster, Inc. ------------------------------
