Compiling problems...

I can't seem to get the libggi snapshots from the last few weeks to
compile on my system. gii compiles ok.

Here's my system setup:
Debian 2.1
Linux 2.2.3
autoconf 2.12
automake 1.3
gcc 2.7.2.3
libc-2.0.7

The compile pukes out in degas/lib/libggi/display/fbdev/visual.c.  Here's
the relevant info:

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/snarfy/degas/lib/libggi/display/fbdev'

After getting this, I removed all the header files that debian has for
2.0beta1 and removed all references to ggi in my system so that I could
compile from a fresh tarball.  Unfortunately it still pukes.  I checked
the include files and it *looks* like the structure that gcc is
complaining about (typedef struct fbdev_hook) has a member "char *accel",
so I'm not sure what the problem is.  Even the structure in
<linux/fbdev.h> has a member called accel, so that's not it either.

Help! :)
