The Linux binary distribution worked perfectly `out of the box' so I haven't
bothered to try compiling it (yet). 5.0 seems much smoother than 4.2 though I
haven't worked it very hard yet. I have a seagrass mapping project comming up
which will work it VERY hard though.

I did new compilation and install of egcs into /usr/local so it must have been
through the SuSE RPM for libobjc.
This stuff is in my notes, but i have been wrong before.  I will be home in a 
few
hours (3 or 4) where I am doing all the SuSE 6.1 preparation (it doesn't matter 
so
much if I trash my home box). I will check all these details properly and let 
you
know as soon as I get home. (I had forgotten that I just bought a new modem so I
am online at home again).

On another subject, if you do any mapping from aerial photos or satelite images
involving image classification and vectorizing images. Check out :

`SUSAN' -- A very elegant image processing tool that does some incredible
edge/corner detection and noise reduction things. The simple algorithm is very
clever.  I have been testing it today, and the results are excellent.

Cheers,
Matt
