Hi Norbert,

thanks for your fast response and please apologize my late answer.

I tried with "numarray" and "Numeric" several times, with make
uninstall and make distclean always. Superficially it compiles, but
I get hundreds of compiler warnings. If anybody wants to read the
compiler output, feel free to contact me.
The sg-GUI starts in both cases, I have menues and worksheets and
plot areas, but it's impossible to work with it. When I open one of
the examples shipped with the source package, I see numbers in the
datasheet, but the plot areas stay white and empty. When I enter
values into the datasheet all digits after the decimal separator are
cut off. In the case I use a "," as separator the decimal places are
automatically entered in the next line.
Anyway, after playing around some minutes it crashes.

IMHO there are some more issues in the configure/make stuff. E.g. it
also warns me "missing script is too old or missing". The parameters
 the ./missing is called with from ./configure are not supported by
the ./missing script indead.

But the crucial point is, that there's no complete overview about
the packages that are required for the installation and the required
version of these packages. There is no Install-FAQ, no
Documentation, no Binaries ...
I'd like to offer my help for improvement of the homepage and
documentation, translations, testing and maybe packing binaries,
but first of all I need to *compile* the program.

So, hopefully Norbert is able to help with the autoconf/automake
stuff. I'll keep on figuring out, what is missing on my box for
proper compilation.

Ciao

Daniel
