Summary: Compile Problem - Not Error - RH8

Initial Comment:
I had a compile problem, but not a compile error, on RH8.

It seems that on RH8, they have a certain setting on
the /usr/bin/rdesktop file so that it cannot be
overwritten. I tried to chmod a+rwx it under root, but
it wouldn't let me. I'm a slight newbie (moving into
novice ranks) and I still couldn't figure out how to
overwrite the file.

The workaround for me was to create a dir:
"/home/mike/apps/rdesktop" (since I'm the only user of
this workstation) and change my desktop shortcut in KDE
to point to this new path instead of the standard
rdesktop path.

In /home/mike/apps/rdesktop, I put the files from the
config/make process. 

BTW, for those of you who don't know how to do that
(newbies), here it is:

1. Update your workstation to have the X Development
and GCC Development environments if you don't have
these already.

2. Type this:

# cd <dir where downloaded source is located>
# ./configure
# make
# make install

(Don't type the "# ".)
