Thank you for your reply IOhannes,

you can configure how mailman will send postings to you via the
web-interface. a link to this interface is attached to each and every
mail you get from the list.

somehow mailman refuses to accept my option "Receive your own posts to the list" but Its not a big problem now that i know it.

oh its ppc....

i guess you have to manually remove the "-mms-bitfields" from all of the
makefiles that fail to build with that flag.

I tried to remove manually the -mms-bitfields flags  but i get a really long list of errors starting with:

make -C aconnect INLCUDES="-I/home/kostis/CUBEmixer/src/libs/../pd/src"
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/kostis/CUBEmixer/src/libs/aconnect'

...


could you check whether configure has been called and what it said about
"-mms-bitfield".

No, as far as i can understand it doesn΄t call configure. The error message in the previous mail is the complete error message.

I think this fedora configuration on an old ppc is a bit like acrobatics and i am not a linux/programming acrobat at all :) I will try to do the installation on an Intel machine.

Thank you again.
