Re: [guppi-list] help me test Guppi

I just downloaded the most recent CVS tree. It fails to build, reporting
undefined symbols on the final link. The output is as follows:

rgbdraw.o: In function
`__as__t6vector2Z4TickZt24__default_alloc_template2b1i0RCt6vector2Z4TickZt24__default_alloc_template2b1i0':

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

It also reports missing files during the build; they are scm_data.cc,
scm_guppi.cc, scm_maker.cc, scm_plot.cc, scm_plotutil.cc, and
scm_scatter.cc. It does not die as a result of those missing files,
though.
