...because it keeps telling me that it misses libgr.so.1. This is ok because I did not find the file on my box. Realizing that, I went to sunsite.unc.edu and got libgr-2.0., compiled and installed. Result: lots of jpeglib and pbmlib etc. but libgr.so.1 is still missing. Any ideas how to get pbmtext running? Shouldn't one expect that libgr.so.1 is included in libgr-2.0.tar.gz?! Thanks, Jan Obladen.
