./configure

- checks for objc complier (egcs)...
- egcs not installed and is required

(Words to that effect.) All of which is rather annoying as I have only
today overcome the same problem involving imlib 1.9.4 not seeing
gtk+-1.2.0, and that I worked for over a week on :(((

Since both gtk+ and egcs (and a lot of other stuff for that matter) get
installed into /usr/local as per default, I would have though that
getting through GTK+ would prove all my paths were correct. Evidently
something is wrong.

I have no idea about such things. I just downloaded the entire egcs-1.1
tarball, configured, built and installed the thing per defaults. I ran
ldconfig -v to pick anything new up and then rebooted. Typing egcs --
version at the bash prompt gave me the current version number (AFAIK) so
I guess it's installed OK.
