Hmm. If you haven't got a collection indexed, this might happen, yes. The 
behaviour "exit" is wanted, the error message is missing.

It looks like "lava". FFT is not used in David's feature extraction. Could 
you tell us the file? In fact, David has re-done his feature extraction, 
however, the code is not included yet.

Let's say, linuxens are the only thing I routinely test. I run Debian, the 
rest of the Viper group runs SuSE, David runs RedHat. What problems did you 
have?  It would interest us to have the (stdout and stderr) screen output of 
your compile runs. Furthermore we would be interested in the compiler version 
you're using. "We" that is either help-gift or address@hidden (rather 
bug-gift, if it's a bug, rather help-gift if it's not a bug). Especially the 
list is interested in the version number of the GIFT you're trying to install.

BTW: Currently there are some problems with very new versions (>= 2.96) of 
the g++. However, some these problems are not generated by myself (nor anyone 
else in this group), so we can do nothing but wait for a newer g++ or use an 
old one (v 2.95 is the one we use).

If you want to hack the code, I suggest you to check out the code from the 
anonymous CVS at savannah.gnu.org (search "gift", then go to the CVS). This 
is the freshest version, and it's easy to stay up to date.

Thanks a lot, David :-) and thanks, Tiger for your question.
