FW: [Bug 12] gpm-1.19.3

[Jason Gurtz]

Hi,

	Recently this appeared on one of the Linux From Scratch Mailing lists.
There is two real questions I have here.  One:  Is the change from OPEN_MAX
to FOPEN_MAX in special.c a "good thing?"
Two: Should we try and come up with a change to the configure script so that
it detects if TeTex is installed and if it's not then will just skip
installing the info files (with a warning preferably)  The below solution is
IMHO pretty ugly.

Thanks for any comment,

~jason
