The following paths for getting gpsim on RH 8.0 all seem to be dead ends. Any 
tips would be appreciated.

1) gpsim-0.20.14-1.i386.rpm depends on the RPM for gtk+extra but rpmfind finds 
no version for RH 8.0 (FYI: http://www.dattalo.com/gnupic/gpsim.html has a 
typo in the rpmfind link: the search value should be "gtk+extra", not 
"gtkextra".)

2) After "configure/make/make install" of gtk+extra from source, I start down 
the same path with gpsim-0.20.14.tar.gz -- fails in "make" with two things 
that don't look good: warning about deprecated header [mentioned in this 
group's archives], and errors in command.h (included from parse.yy about 
"string" being used as a type.

3) Okay, try the same with the latest CVS. It complains I need to rerun 
"aclocal" before "automake" (so I do) but then "automake" complains about not 
finding "./depcomp". I tried making an empty one ">depcomp" and automake is 
happy, "autoconf" and "./configure" run OK, but the subsequent "make" doesn't 
appear to actually compile anything: the "*.o" files (in "cli") link to 
nonexistent "*.lo" files.

     My preferred path would be #3 if someone could help me out.
     I'd be Okay with falling back to #2 to get things working (for now).
     And #1 would be acceptable (but least preferred).

     And if I missed something obvious in a FAQ somewhere, I'd appreciate a 
pointer and I'll be glad to supply the "Doh!"
     TIA
