Many people have issues with the binaries so even if you downloaded them, you could still have run into problems...

Oh, and the url for the guide: http://www16.brinkster.com/acraig/planeshift/buildmb.html

Ps: You should poke around a bit before making a thread. There is a sticky about this very issue in the Technical help forum (http://planeshift.oodlz.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=3933&boardid=17&styleid=1&sid=3a3b38297a362c35de58b307f9e0580f)

As long as you don\'t demand service as if these forums were the proper place to acquire the services of paid tech support, and you try to be nice. :) As long as you are polite I don\'t care too much if you didn\'t read the forums before posting... and you make a habit of searching before posting in the future ;)

Post by: josephoenix on July 12, 2004, 12:59:21 am: The binaries seem to be the cause of many problems and not much of a solution. Besides, you should ge tto know how to compile from source, since it\'s a good skill to have :)
