Re: [Rpcemu] Rpcemu Digest, Vol 85, Issue 4

Gentlemen,

Many thanks - you gave me the clue I needed !

The missing component was "build-essential". I stupidly assumed it was
already installed, but just checked and realised it wasn't there.

Have now installed it and retried - worked first time and RPCemu is now
running fine.

Sorry for being a such a dipstick, but sometimes when you're tearing
your hair out, you just don't see the obvious.

Thanks again

Tony
