Description Xiao-Yong JIN 2007-08-01 21:07:29 UTC

The configure script in w3m by default does not look into
the gentoo-prefix dirctory for gc.h.  So even if you have
installed boehm-gc into gentoo-prefix, it still cannot
find the header file.  The solution could be just adding
one line to the econf command

    --with-gc="${EPREFIX}"/usr

Cheers,
Xiao-Yong

this is on Linux, right?  Weird, on Darwin it worked fine.  I added the statement nevertheless as it causes no negative effects here.

Thanks!
