[help-GIFT] smallish bug report: expat.h

[Andreas Enge]

Dear gift developers,

just a short note on my experience when trying to compile gift-0.1.9.
During compilation, there was a file "expat.h" missing, while configure
went smoothly. It would be nice to include a test into the configure
script. By the way, I see that you now test for different perl modules,
which is a nice feature.

Right now, the compilation process stops with some unknown references.
I have no time to look into it, as compiling gift is a very low priority
activity right now. If I stumbled onto a bug, fine, if not, do not
bother to help me out.

compiler: gcc-2.95.4 (some Debian invention, I think)
glibc 2.3.1
binutils 2.13.90.0.10
