I have no problem compiling gnokii.

(The one thing I need which is NOT mentioned in INSTALL,
though it should be, is "bash autogen.sh".)

My complaint was with someone who was presumably trying to help,
but who did not give enough information to be of real assistance.
This is all too common with Linux "advisors";
I'm never quite sure if it's showing off, or thoughtlessness.

I wish people would just say exactly what commands they gave,
and then added any extra information they think necessary.
