The latest changes.


For RH9 and other gcc 3.x+ distro's, you'll have to grab gpsim out of CVS. 
Please see the instructions here:

http://www.dattalo.com/gnupic/gpsim_cvs.html

Also, you shouldn't need to reboot a Linux box after installing software 
(unless, I guess, it's the kernel). However, one gotcha with packages that 
are dynamically linked (such as gpsim) is that the paths to the needed 
libraries must be known. As root, you'll need to add these paths to

/etc/ld.so.conf

and after doing so run:

/sbin/ldconfig

On my (ancient) RH7.1 box, ld.so.conf looks like:

$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf 
/usr/kerberos/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib/qt-2.3.1/lib
/usr/lib/sane
/usr/lib/wine
/usr/local/lib


The last line is the one where gtk+extra stuff will get placed (during a 
default install).
