That took care of one problem. Does straw REQUIRE Debian? As I said
before, I am running Redhat 9 and it looks like 'make install' required
'pkg-config' which is a Debian thing. Make worked flawlessly after I
installed gettext. Here is the output of 'make install':

Here is what I get when I try to run 'straw' (I know, I am hoping after
all those errors):

address@hidden straw-0.18.1]$ straw
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/straw", line 28, in ?
    sys.path.insert(0, find_straw_lib())
  File "/usr/local/bin/straw", line 26, in find_straw_lib
    raise "FileNotFoundError", "couldn't find straw library dir"
FileNotFoundError: couldn't find straw library dir


Thanks for all your help!
