Compiling Grip problems

[Diego Barros]

Hello Bill,

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my question. It makes sense
now that you mention it. I had installed something else recently and it
actually complained that a package-devel RPM was required, so I knew
what to do.

Thanks again.

Cheers,
Diego
