of course I'm using debian! what a question! ;-)

May I hope that a recompile should yield the most efficient result./configure;make

It doesn't have the GUI, but if you'd really like to have that send me a PM and I can show you how to do a workaround. (The GUI is useful for monitoring the progress of the individual numbers, which is especially nice for BIG numbers like PSP's.)

thanks for the quick answer and offered help. I'll have it a try to recompile it myself...
PS:
erm... the "./configue;make" approach didn't work out of the box... I see some .c and .h files, but is this the ../llrsource or not? as to the WTF.. I mean FLTK, I apt-getted lib...-dev which came with 10M of more basic stuff, I hope that'll do...
PPS: visibly the .c, .cxx etc are not complete sources - it complains about missing lprime.h and among others, Llr.c - will this ever be found? (suspecting llr.c instead - but only llr2.c is present...)
P³S: I think using your ...sr5 I have automagically joined the club :)
but I'll PM you for the GUI...

Ah yes, I totally agree with you there--Ubuntu is my favorite (and, as a consequence of it being closely based on Debian, Debian is a close second). I personally use Ubuntu since it keeps all the good things about Debian, while having a more consistent/frequent release cycle, and only having one CD to download rather than 20. Though, I must say, both Debian and Ubuntu are quite similar, and I'd feel quite at home on a system with either.

Hmm...I don't think you're supposed to run configure/make from the llrsource directory, but from the llrnet directory instead. (It may be called something slightly different, I don't remember exactly.) Regardless, the file called "INSTALL" in the llrnet directory should have directions as to where to run configure/make from.

As long as the precompiled version is working for you, though, then I guess that should do the trick.

I use netinstall - that's less than half a CD to burn ;-)
[but it seems that fetching packets and unpacking / configuing them is not yet parallelized to a maximal extend - that could speed up network installation quite a bit, I suppose (on multi core machines)]

as to compiling LLRnet from source, I got some "Oelf32.i386" related errors which might(?) be responsible for the fact I don't get a GUI.
Even installing lots of "Fox" stuff and trying USE_FOX=1, it didn't work out, either.
(as to the rest, automagic registration / logging in, k/n reservation and crunching works almost too straightforwardly ... (mprime at least asks some preliminary confirmation questions... ;-))

@Joe:
Apologice for not sending you the factor information the last two months.
I will do it again next weekend. (I am out of town again.)

@LTD: I got the files, thanks. There were no suprises.
