i am about to release foo-0.0.3, which has support for the new elk
containing all necessary patches (read rationals, new readline
extension).  the elk will be released as fooelk as well, as long as
the new features are not included with the main elk distribution.  i
hope to be able to upload the new files this evening or tomorrow, then
there's really the last version available.

in the meantime, you can figure out whether there are packages for
gnustep on redhat.  you will need gnustep-make and gnustep-base.
alternatively, you may go to http://www.gnustep.org and download these
two packages.  there are some instruction for installing them on the
web, too (http://gnustep.made-it.com/BuildGuide/).  for me it wasn't
very difficult to build them when using a recent gcc (>= 3.2).  as far
as i know, you don't need window maker, perhaps not even the graphics
libraries (not sure about that, ./configure should complain), because
we don't need gnustep-gui for foo.

i'll announce the new version as soon as it is available.

all the best,

martin
