That never occurred to me. Yes, it worked--i.e., I got the libtag_c.pc 
out of it.


I also discovered that EZstream is in the standard Ubuntu distro, I 
never actually had to build it myself. This is one of those 
forests-and-trees situations--I would bet a lot of money that I tried 
installing it from distro and it couldn't find it. That's what set me on 
the path of building it from source in the first place. I learned two 
things from this experience> One, watch what I'm doing, and two, use a 
test environment to try build options I would not ordinarily consider in 
order to learn how the final output changes. OH yes, and 3, remember to 
click the 'reply to list' button instead of the 'reply to sender' 
button. ;-)
