- *sigh*
-
- [flame on] What version of â• inux/GCC/MGR do you use? How should I give
- you any hints if I have no idea about the environment? [flame off]
-
- If you are interested in MGR, you should forget about the US archive
- versions. They are old. You always can get a current version from
- ftp.thp.uni-koeln.de:pub/linux/beta/mgr/*
-
- That version will be updated regularly, it is the definite version for
- beta testers. I appreciate that you compile things on your own, because
- I don't release binaries for various reasons. If you have any problems,
- please *don't* post to comp.os.linux, but use the MGR channel of the
- mailing list instead. If you need information about that, I hope that
- you find some in the FAQ, or ask me again and I will send you a short
- introduction on how to use it.
-
- The TeX MGR from that distribution compiles fine, but I don't have TeX,
- so I can't say if it works.
