Re: GAL compile

[Keith Powell <keith keithg4jvx force9 co uk>]

Hello John, Carsten and Malcolm.

Thank you for your very prompt replies and the information.

You were right. I had esound installed but not esound-devel.

Gal is now installed and Abiword is working.

I would never have thought that the first line referred to esound. One of the 
mysteries of Linux to a comparative newbie!

Very many thanks
