[PD] GEM compile

On my system it doesn't work like this and just _use_ -lftgl, so the build
stops with the above error.

So, despite Günter's doubts, I tried to change the Make.config. Gem got
built, but when I try to load the library in PD, I get the following error>>

/home/kliger/cvs_20051128/Gem/src/Gem.pd_linux:
> /home/kliger/cvs_20051128/Gem/src/Gem.pd_linux: undefined symbol:

Oh well. When I have the time, I'll consider using Debian so that I have the
same system as the Gem dev people. But until then, I need text rendering in
Gem so I'll continue using my old Gem (but without gemlist_info which I've
grown to like). So unless anyone has a brilliant idea, thanks anyway.
