(And I didn't even > know build was a noun.) It looks like this was a VPATH feature I've noticed before.

Anyway, I've tried again with a clean source hierarchy and it built flawlessly in another directory. -- Peter Stephenson Tel: +39 050 844536 WWW: http://www.ifh.de/~pws/ Dipartimento di Fisica, Via Buonarroti 2, 56127 Pisa, Italy
