Fix for 'GIFT-FATAL: liblibOpenFT.so.la: file not found'

Many people have come to various places (mailing list, bug tracker, irc) asking about the '*** GIFT-FATAL: couldn't load protocol in file /usr/local/lib/giFT/liblibOpenFT.so.la: file not found' error.

The cause of this error is that the format of gift.conf changed. Namely, for the 'plugins' entry, you'll now only have to give the name(s) of the protocol(s) you want to use.

So, to fix this, edit ~/.giFT/gift.conf, and change the line with 'plugins = libOpenFT.so' to 'plugins = OpenFT'. That's it!

Still, if this is too difficult to understand for you, just run giFT-setup again.
