So how do I run it from the build directory then? And I certainly 'don't' want to run multiple copies of WINE on my rig. I would just like to know how far in the build process I can go before my currently stable version goes to toast. And to be above poster, thanks for the info about ccache. That will hopefully save me a bundle of time in the future. Thus far I've blown four hours on two installs of 1.2. Thanks to all! raist
