I am simply truing to provide feedback on how the GnuGk can be improved, and interested in what went wrong - now I know its not that a temporary file could not be created, I will relax.. BSDs differ from Linux in that there is top down management, and a synchronised "ports" collection of applications which have been tested to work together. (its called different things on different BSDs). BSDs generally distribute all software as source code. Its often the same source that is compiled under Linux, but bundled with extra environment and patches so as to guarantee compilation and installation in the BSD environment (directory structure also differs slightly from Linux). Tools are provided that allow you to install a softare package AND ALL ITS DEPENDANCIES from source with a single command - all dependancies are totally synchronised so that you do not break one application by installing the dependancies of another. Necessarily, this means that code does not advance at the speed it does with Linux distros, but on the other hand, in a production environment, you do not end up with 6 million users losing their service because you applied a bug fix to a library that radius uses! This has its attractions for a telco!
