The libc.a library is included in ZipSpeak, but you need to install the linuxinc package from the D package group in Slackware in order to compile anything. Patrick Volkerding removed the linuxinc package from ZipSlack 7.1 in order to keep the distribution small; he wants it to fit on a 100 MB Zip disk once it has been uncompressed. -- Matt Campbell <http://www.pobox.com/~mattcampbell/> ICQ #: 33005941
