Is there documentation for the right way to go about doing this? -- - Adam ** Expert Technical Project and Business Management ****

Full_Name: John Van Voorhis Version: 1.6.2 OS: SunOS 5.8 Submission from: (NULL) (128.8.130.192) While running initial 'make' everything went fine until src/unix. At which point it kept entering and exiting src/unix without doing anything. I fixed the problem by deleting the dependencies on Makefile for the Makedeps and R targets. I am using gnu Make 3.79, gcc 2.95.3, Solaris SunOS5.8

Well now that I got your attention.... Why RoR sucks: 1. It''s smarter than me. Just when I think I''ll have to do some mundane thing (like I use to in PHP or ASP), I find out RoR does it already for me. 2.
