After I installed cvs half an hour ago I figured the trailing "gift" as 
module name out myself. CVS told me I had to add a module name or PATH,
where I could easily guess it had to be "gift".

right ;) thank you for that hint because I was stunned not to find the 
./configure - but luckily I stumbled over boostrap myself.

Runs smooth like a kitten. Make exited successfully. Now I will have 
weeks of fun configuring and learning about gift and how I can possibly 
implement it into my already existent infrastructure ( if possible at all )

That is a very good hint. I probably would have checked it out over and 
over again.

Yes it did, and only after one night's sleep. Mailing to the list and 
having the problem solved therefore only took two hours of my conscious 
lifetime.


While I am at it:

Are there any pitfalls regarding the configuration of the gift when it 
comes to php clients ? How should a recommended config file look like if 
I want to search images with say php_gift to start with ?


Jonas, your help is very much appreciated. Thanks a lot, dude ;)
