Re: Bug-report regarding torcs-1.3.4 installation and robotgen -- including fixes

Hi

Many thanks:-) I will apply the robotgen stuff in a minute, I was aware 
of this but it was far from the top of my priorities, now it is urgent;-)

About linking: I have to look into this, I am always a bit confused 
about this, because on my and many other systems it seems to work, but 
not on a few others. Does anybody have an idea what is the cause for 
this (differences on toolchain (binutils, gcc, depends), some liker 
setup, whatever...???).

So I am not sure yet if I will apply the liking stuff, but I will have a 
look.

Best regards

Bernhard
