Hi just a couple of notes of about the latest release 1) the tarball (gz) for unix seems to have some funny permissions/symlinks/umask? in it. This barfed using solaris tar, with an error about not being able to create the file, so I downloaded the windows version and unzipped that instead, and chmod -R to something sensible. 2) the C extension module cBanana.c actually has some C++ style comments in it. I think this is fine for gcc, but solaris' cc compiler is less forgiving. I just edited the file. other than those two gotchas, it seems to work. thanks Jon
