Hi

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for setup help, but will throw it out
anyway.

I'm trying to setup the shapelib files and have followed the recommended directions
to a tee. I have changed, several times, the MakeFile to remove to the one space
missing afetr the "-h", but still get the failure"cp: cannot stat ',lib/libshp.la':
No such file or directory", I am now at a loss what to do.

I was wondering if trying to set it up on the secondary drive D: instead of C: may
have an effect?
