I have tried several snapshots from 5/17 - 5/29
and all examples segfault on startup.

I am running Debian potato upgraded to
Progeny1.0 (newton).
gcc = 2.95.2
no ffcall
no xml2
no openssl
no gnustep_objc

The combination of base 1.0, make 1.0, gui 0.6.8 and xgps 0.6.8
works fine with this set-up. I had been using Mandrake 7.2
with early April snapshots and they worked well.
Mandrake had 2.95.3 I think. I use enlightenment but switching
to windowmaker 0.6.2 did not help.

I notice that xgps builds by default as a bundle. I
would like to try building as a library. It's just not
obvious to me how to go about this. Have I missed a
simple configure option ?
