To fix this, I would have to get TDE compile on my box, which is quite above my level (tried to follow your advice, but didn't get far, an enduser-friendly buldscript placed on a prominet place would help a lot ;-) )
If you want, I can pass you my own scripts. They are reasonably easy and generic to use, but they require a given structure on the disc (not difficult to make though).
I am also planning to update the "how to build page (at least for Debian/ubuntu distros" on the new website when I can find sometime for that (probably between RC1 and the final release of R14)
Cheers Michele
