Yes, I agree, a --disable-icu is probably in order. CC'ed upstream. Dave, the problem is that we do build the installer version and the full version of brltty in one go, so if we request libicu as a build dependency, it will also be available during the installer version is built, but libicu is actually not available at installer runtime. is there any possibility we could get a configure flag for disabling the use of ICU? -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> .''`. | Get my public key via finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' : | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 `. `' `- <URL:http://delysid.org/> <URL:http://www.staff.tugraz.at/mlang/>
