argh. it's the *link* to a download page... ok, silly me. i just saved a
html page and wondered why tar barfs.
but tell me, how on earth can you have a link like "filename.tar.gz"
which is not a tarball.... mysterious are the ways of sf.
thanks anyway, i'm building it later today...
I keep stepping over that often
too. Just click onto it. The set the proper
content-type, so the browser will ask you to save it. B.T.W. you can call your
links what ever you like, it's the content-type of the http-protocol that
matters. It is just that most web-servers use the extension to set the
content-type automaticaly (when delivering the content from a file).

hi jesse !
after all the enthusiastic feedback i want to try it out, too.
unfortunately, the sf downloads of either 0.4.0, .1 and .2 bail out after
about 2k, and the reconf script in cvs complains about a missing acconfig - i
have never seen that command before. it generates a
./configure script, which then makes makefiles, but the compilation stops with
"missing separator in Makefile"...
Don't know what the deal with SF is... it works for me.
