[Bug-gnubg] Problems compiling

[Sander van Rijnswou]

Hi Gary,
 
I recently discovered your gnubg. Having an interest both in Backgammon
and Neural Nets  for years, I'm very pleased with this program. 

Of course I want to be right on the edge to see what is going on.
Unfortunately I had some problems getting past the very first step:
compiling. 

I tried both cvs and the latest snapshot on Linux. Do you see what it
going wrong here?

Thanks a lot,

Sander van Rijnswou.
