After gc.tar.gz installation I did:

$ export LDFLAGS="-Xlinker -R/usr/local/lib"

, then tried again to install w3m-0.5.1.tar.gz with
$ ./configure', '$ make' and '# make install',
and this time the ./configure step seemed to have no problem;
but when I did '$ make' I got the following output:

[rodolfo@localhost w3m-0.5.1]$ make
(echo '#define DEFUN(x,y,z) x y';\
 sed -ne '/^DEFUN/{p;n;/^[      ]/p;}' ./main.c ./menu.c) | gcc -E - | \
 awk '$1 ~ /^[_A-Za-z]/ { \
       for (i=2;i<=NF;i++) { print $i, $1} \

I did so: I subscribed to w3m-dev-en mailing list
and sent my problem summary to both the adresses
'w3m-dev-en@sic.med.tohoku.ac.jp' and 'w3m-dev-en@mi.med.tohoku.ac.jp',
but got no answer.

Thanks: I tried your suggestion, but again I got the output:

checking for long long... yes
checking size of long long... configure: error: cannot compute
sizeof (long long), 77
See `config.log' for more details.

I'm really stuck...
Any other hint?

Thanks,
Rodolfo
