It's so awesome to have people trying this - my last project had 2 users
total....

A fix for one of the problems reported on this list (by bart, thx!) was
to make sure that the path

/usr/local/lib

was in /etc/ld.so.conf or in /etc/ld.so.conf.d and to run

sudo ldconfig

after installing libjannson.

I've updated the documentation to reflect his.

If you got this far on the build, you probably have the curl-dev
dependency resolved via other means. libcurl-dev?

A small fix for one of the two utf-8 issues remaining got pushed out
yesterday. (again in response to a bug report - thx Max/sean)

The remaining utf-8 issue only (so far as I know) affects international
characters at the command line, not in emacs's gnugol.el, which both url
encodes utf8 and then shell escapes it before handing it to the shell.
(it however requires that emacs be in utf-8 mode in the first place)

I've added some site-specific searches to gnugol.el in the latest commits.

Regrettably I didn't write the dll code, and my gcc is at version 4.4.3
My guesses are that you need to specify some sort of "-dynamic" option
to gcc on your platform or specify the libdl shared object?

(there is no -dynamic option on gcc 4.4.3 however)

Do the other engines break as well? (make -k)

I've gnugold on your error message without being particularly
enlightened thus far.

I expected teething problems. Will figure this one out soon. Thanks for
trying gnugol!
