Re: [help-GIFT] problems compiling gift-0.1.9+3epsilon on freebsd 4.8

[Henning Müller]

When compiling under MacOS X I get the same error with the gnugetopt.h 
that Alex has. I did the same thing in creating a lib directory and 
copying the file there but is there a cleaner way to get rid of that 
problem?

Cheers, Henning
