Hi Jerry,

Hi, I'm new to opensource, so tell me if I'm asking very stupid
questions, but,

        Your questions seem sensible, and welcome to open-source (or Free
Software ;-).

      * Where is bin/g?  I can't find it anywhere, and it seems to be
        all over the place on the wiki

        Ah - then - perhaps this can be your 1st contribution :-) We used to
use bin/g with the 'build' build method, but now we have the 'bootstrap'
build method, it should be replaced thus:

        bin/g -> g

        ie. it is in the top-level directory now.

      * The build failed, and I have no idea why.  The error's in the
        nss module, in
        
clone/libs-extern-sys/nss/unxlngi6.pro/misc/build/nss-3.12.8/mozilla/security/nss/lib/freebl/drgb.c,
 and I've attached a copy of the error.  What should I do?

        Nasty ! I've seen that myself in the past; and chased it into the long
grass for a while; but I forget what fixed it. Apparently it compiles ok
for me now.

        More details wrt. your distribution, and so on would probably be most
helpful. How did you install the pre-requisite packages ?

        Anyhow - worth a try deleting the output and re-buiding it (cf. the rm
command at the end of the build failure message) , but I'm not that
optimistic; can you get on IRC so we can dig into it more ? #libreoffice
on irc.freenode.net ?

        Thanks,

                Michael.
