One of these includes -- I can't remember which one -- is needed by hsql. Removing that build dependency results in build problems (that's why it's there). I can't build-dep on 8.1 since there's no 8.1 in the archive, but as soon as there is, I'd certainly update the build-dep. But it would be an error to remove the build dep altogether. -- John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
