Ahhhh... now I see.....

Also.. no problem it's this easy.

Grab the SRc code....

http://www.glennmcc.org/aralinux/arachne-src-1.93.tgz

Extract it with....

tar -z -xf arachne-src-1.93.tgz

cd to the asrc193 directory

make -f svgalib/makefile

In a few minutes you'll have a new build of the arachne-svgalib executable

Can't get much easier than that. ;-)
