Hi, Is there here any person how has installed succesfully the Gerris software on a pc with red hat 9.0.

I try to install it with different versions, but I encountred errors with make in compiling Glib library and GTS library.

I follow the steps of installation: 1) ./configure ...................ok 2) make install ............with warnings and some errors 3) make ..............fails

my system show the pc as i686

any help please.

what exact error message does it give.Usually the reason for failure might be incompatible libraries or you might need to install some other software. - h

The errors are soo long then I write you the necessary:
