...this didn't work. The shell interpreted CPPFLAGS=-I/sw/include as a 
command. So, I tried using setenv as described at

http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-general.php#compile-myself

but this didn't work either, so I zapped the environment variables. 
Note, however, that I only set the CFLAGS environment variable and not 
the others.

So, I finally resorted to hard coding the locations of the "lost" 
header files. Here are the changes I made:

in ~/visual-2.1.1/cvisual/xgl.h, I changed lines 8,9,and 10 to read
      8  #include </sw/include/gtk-1.2/gdk/gdk.h>
      9  #include </sw/include/gtk-1.2/gtk/gtk.h>
     10  #include </sw/include/gtkgl/gtkglarea.h>

in /sw/include/gtkgl/gtkglarea.h, I changed line 24 to read
     24  #include </sw/include/gtkgl/gdkgl.h>

I then issued "make" and got a clean build...FINALLY!

Now, the remaining issue that bothers me is that in IDLE, when I press 
F1 for help I get an error message telling me there's no default 
browser. I'm using Safari 1.0. There must be a way to make the help 
come up in the system's default browser (in my case, Safari).

Cheers,
Joe Heafner
