I neglected to copy the LAU on my email back to Jack O'Quin regarding compilation of the CVS version of JAMin. In case others are having similar problems: I'm seeing "BLAH/downloads/jamin/jam/src/geq.c:126: undefined reference to `libintl_dgettext' I have a mixed setup here, and old RH6.2 that has been heavily upgraded to the newest kernels, newer libs, etc. I do have old C libs (2.1). It appears that configure checks the C lib for dgettext. It didn't find there, but did find dgettext in libintl. However, the configure script doesn't check for libintl_dgettext. This variable is also defined in the newer libintl that I have. It seems to me that the configure script should have added -lintl in my case, but didn't for some reason. If it had done that, everything would have worked, but perhaps there is a good reason not to add it in most cases. I provided some other information to Jack O'Quin who responded to my post with a query posted to LAU (thanks, Jack!), but won't post that here unless someone really wants to know.
