Hi there,

Sorry to ask such a basic question but i'm fairly new to linux and find 
the whole tarball installation thing a bit confusing, anyway heres the 
output i got from ./configure, the necesarry libraries seem to be 
installed but it can't seem to find them. Any suggestions???

please download and install LibGGI and LibGII from

[root at purple koth-0.8.0]# urpmi libggi
Everything already installed
[root at purple koth-0.8.0]# urpmi libgii
