WATCHING MAKE

When compiling software, don't just type 'make' and let run! You will never be able to catch your errors!

Do 'make > Make.Out &'
and then do

'tail -f Make.Out'.

That will continuously show you the end of your Make.Out file, giving you the chance to go "Hey, what was that?!?",
hit ^C, grep Make.Out, and not interrupt your compile.
