[TriLUG] gcc switch hitting

[Chris Knowles]

Alright.

Even though I have the rpm installed I've been beating my head against
this anyway, as I like knowing things.

turns out that the configure script didn't notice that I didn't have the
gdbm stuff installed, and that was what was causing the compile to fail.

installed the gdbm stuff and then Tanner's suggestion worked like a
champ. 

Thanks again to all your help

Any word on how to start xscreensaver properly at login time?
