[help-GIFT] Help Installing GIFT 1.13

[Mark Brewster]

Hello,

First I must say, I am looking forward to getting GIFT up and running.
It sounds like it's exactly what I am looking for!

Unfortunately I am some troubles doing that. When I run the configure
script first I get this message:

...
config.status: creating GIFTServer/gift-config/Makefile
config.status: creating gift-config.h
config.status: gift-config.h is unchanged
config.status: linking ./lib/gnugetopt.h to lib/getopt.h
config.status: error: ./lib/gnugetopt.h: file not found

So what I do to get around that is create a lib directory in the
<install-dir>/gift-0.1.13 directory and copy the getopt.h file from the
gnu cvs repository in there as a file named gnugetopt.h. This allows it
get past the error. The version of gcc we have installed is 3.3.3.
Apparantly the header file didn't get installed for some reason or is it
suppose to be included in the source with GIFT?

So after I do all that I rerun the configure script and I get this:

...
config.status: creating GIFTServer/gift-mrml-messages/Makefile
config.status: creating GIFTServer/gift-config/Makefile
config.status: creating gift-config.h
config.status: gift-config.h is unchanged
config.status: linking ./lib/gnugetopt.h to lib/getopt.h
config.status: executing default-1 commands

I don't think this is the end of the configure script, I think it just
stops but I'm not sure. So I continued on and ran make. This:(Sorry for
the long output I thought it might help) Any ideas?
