Yep, it is a long story with me. To try and make it short (er), I finally wound up getting the source via rsync from maconlinux.org, applying three (I think) patches and at last getting it to compile without errors, the sheep module gets built as part of the compile. The YDL source RPM for MOL says, for some arcane reason, that the sheep module has been removed because it gets built "dynamically", whatever the heck that means. There is also a possible issue with recent versions of libpng causing trouble. At present my sheep module builds and loads, but I am still having trouble as MOL will not boot from my HDD, and when I boot it from a bootable MAC CD it *does* boot, but the process takes the better part of an hour :-( I'm not sure what the policy is on this list about posting patches, and right now they are on another machine, but as soon as I can I will send you the patches privately along with the steps I took to get it to compile. Please pardon me if it takes me a day or so to get that together but I just put this (intel) machine back together and I need to do some things to get it back to where it was this morning. Perhaps between us we can get things working.
