ligungif problems [was Re: Problems...]

[francoig]

I looked on my system and I can say I have ligungif (Window Maker required
it).  Kaffe configure seems to detect it correctly (HAVE_GIF_LIB_H is
defined to 1), but it refuses to work when I'm just compiling it right
away.  If I add "-lungif" in kaffe/kaffevm/awt/X/Makefile (or somewhere
like what) It gives this cryptic null pointer exception:

Actually, this as perhaps nothing to do with libungif, but I still can't
run ICQ.  I'm using dec 12 Kaffe snap show (earlier version did not work
either).
