This just seems to be semantics! When you use Compile you need a recipe 
which I thought fixes the package so it will Compile under gobo?? If the 
package has a problem that the recipe doesnt fix then  who is at fault?

Not as yet, As I said I was in a conversation with Michael Horner and 
was waiting for his suggestion! It is possible, but I think unlikely 
that there will be a difference as Freshen just calls Compile, but if 
Michael thinks it worthwhile I can try that!

But I havnt blamed any tool!! I asked a question of the author of the 
tool I was using and you seemed to take it personally!!

For info I have just now invoked Compile GTK+ and it has passed the 
configure stage and is compiling! Nothing was changed on the system 
between my last Freshen run and the Compile except a couple of reboots!

There maybe a problem with the way Freshen invokes Compile or the 
cleanup from the the previous run of Freshen maybe adjusted something 
that should have been done before Compile was invoked (Michael?)! Having 
said that I think I did do a Freshen GTK+ on its own after the compile 
failure and hit the same problem?

Compile has just failed problem now is:

/System/Links/Executables/sed: can't read

Maybe I am missing another dependancy??

Think I have found another problem in Freshen, but I will start a new thread
