Re: 20030905: Redhat 7.3 compile

Hmm.....I verified it works here.
Your $GEMEXE directory should contain the new gif and ps executables.
Make sure you aren't finding a diferent "gif" file or directory
in your path, and make sure you ran gpend to exit the old
executable before relaunching gpnexr2, otherwise the system would probably
still be using the old executable.

Also, as an aside, you can run the X program xvfb to create a virtual
desktop for use with gf and png drivers in scripts (the X fonts will
look nicer than the software rendered fonts by the gif driver).

Also, I reworked the build environment for 5.6.K to hopefully play
nicer with some of the peculiarities you might have seen before with building
from source.
