[alicebot-general] RebeccaAIML .981 released with new QT GUI in the samples section

[Noel Bush]

Hi Frank,

Congratulations on your contact with the reps from Mark-lar!  They got 
in touch with me a few days ago too and warned me to be sure to keep 
that "on Earth" part in there.  Oddly enough, they also warned me about 
the dangers of spyware being spread by free / open source projects, and 
suggested that I should trash all of my locally-running apps in favor of 
web-based versions of them.  Pretty scary.

No, seriously, congratulations on the continuing releases.  Having a 
strong and active C++-based AIML interpreter seems like it should be 
important for a lot of people and should lead to much wider development 
of AIML-based applications.

I tried compiling on my Fedora Core 4 machine, just by cd'ing to the 
build_files/gnumake directory and running gmake.  The process stopped 
with the following message, which is likely due to my failure to set 
some flags somewhere:

In file included from ../../src/rebecca/framework/AIML.cpp:25:

What should I change to get this going?

Best,
Noel
