I just found out that I can run the program now. This program requires a lot of memory. So I have to quit some program to run it and I have to wait some time for the program to load. Thank you very much for information about Makefile. Johan ***** Reply separator ***** Hi, You just need to find a version of this software that runs from the command line. All a makefile does is tell the compiler what libraries it needs, since they were used from the very beginning to code the program. In other words, if the programmer didn't code his/her program using command line libraries, you're SOL unless you can find another tarball for the command line. On the other hand, you could try modifying the C #include lines at the top of every *.c and *.h included in his/her package to point to their text-based cousins. You'd be hacking his code to make it work from the command line. If you do that and are successful, fon't forget to send him back a diff-patch <g>.
