The only thing I have to work with.  I tried compiling a Release (which I 
always prefer), but this is what happened (ellipses are mine):
[...]
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'CGAL-vc90-mt.lib'
1>Build log was saved at 
"file://c:\Users\Public\Documents\2009\demo\Arrangement_on_surface_2\arrangement_2.dir\Release\BuildLog.htm"
1>arrangement_2 - 1 error(s), 13 warning(s)
2>------ Skipped Build: Project: INSTALL, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
2>Project not selected to build for this solution configuration 
3>------ Skipped Build: Project: PACKAGE, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
3>Project not selected to build for this solution configuration 
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 2 up-to-date, 2 skipped ==========

Now where on earth do I obtain a 'CGAL-vc90-mt.lib'?  I've never seen 
anything other than a CGAL-vc90-mt-gd.lib.

I know, it was sort of an exaggeration (although as I idiotic as I am there's 
no way for anyone else to know that).  I have one in C:\Windows\System32\ as 
well as one in the build area (just trying to see if one or the other would 
help, to no avail.)  Doing something similar was the only way that I could 
get Alpha_spaces_2 to work when that threw something too.

I will try that now.  Thanks.
