Hi Joerg,
               Sorry to cc you but I am still rebuilding my 
applications from pkgsrc on DragonFly and don't know this mail program 
well. Just to give you an idea here is the main system definitions file 
used for building this thing on Linux. When I find out what is wrong 
here for DragonFly I will have a start ( they have changed the ansi C 
float thing)

               I am not asking for help, this is probably not of 
interest to anyone else.

                                                        All the best,
                                                             John Duncan
