pretty good, actually.  I just started the next beta cycle...

yeah, i did that.  It found the libraries correctly, but I had to give
make the following flags to make it build:

CXXFLAGS="-DHAVE_STRTOL=1 -I. -I/usr/X11R6/include -DDATA_DIR=\"/usr/share/yudit/data\""

and the same thing for CFLAGS as well.

Actually I was making an RPM out of it.  I'll just send you my .spec file,
if you want, but basically all it does is remove the old build dir,
untar-gz fresh source from yudit-1.1.tar.gz, then untar
yudit-motif-1.1.tar.gz inside the tree, then:

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-freetype-includes=/usr/include \
            --with-freetype-libraries=/usr/lib

and then runs make with the CXXFLAGS and CFLAGS set as above, and then
does:

make prefix=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr install
