I was able to compile the libraries and the evms and evmsparser tools, that
was no problem. I didn't install any of the GTK or GLIB tools, so I didn't
compile the EVMS GUI. It was possible to compile the ncurses interface in CVS,
but I couldn't execute it.

I'm using LVM, so that was already set. Probably some keyboard error ...

Thanks,
