A good reason :-) let me know how it goes, I want to run it myself at home.

Are you sure you arent getting BSD 4.3 confused with FreeBSD 4.3 ? All
FreeBSD system are 4.4BSD - but there have been 4.0, 41, 4.2 etc  releases
of FreeBSD (plys 3.X and 2.X before that). All of which are 4.4BSD based.

./configure --with-tiff-library=/usr/loca/llib/ (from memory)

You need to have the tiff library installed in /usr/local of course.

You mean "For gcc 3.0.4, make WANT_THREADS_SUPPORT=YES" - I have that
in my gcc build anyway. It doesnt make a difference on my system either way.
I did have it working with gcc3.0 for a long time, but a recent chnage to
GNUstep stopped thatw orking so I went back to 2.95.4
