Hiya,
I FTP'd Gopher from UMN this week, and I'm having trouble compiling it.
I know, I know, the exact same Gopher client comes on the FreeBSD CD, but
I want to do some fine-tuning for my system.

Anyhow, I can't get it to compile!  With some playing around, I got it
up to the point where it tries to link all the object files, and it
bombs with the error:  "ld: No such file or directory for gopher."

From what I can tell, the error is caused by "-lgopher" being tacked on
to the end of the command line at link time.  Therefore, I think it's
looking for a file called "libgopher.a", which I don't have anywhere on
my system or CD.

Any direction would be appreciated...

Jonathan
