Installing gnu gv on Mac OSX 10.5.6 compile error

[Lang Valentine]

Hi all

I'm trying to install gv-3.6.7 for a user in my building and I am having
trouble installing gv.

I've got libXaw3d dylibs installed in "/usr/X11/lib/" and the headers in
"/usr/X11/include/X11/Xaw3d"

ran "./configure --enable-setenv-code" which is succesful

typed "make" and I end up with this error:

===============================

mb08-02591:gv-3.6.7 custodian$ make
Making all in lib
make  all-am
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'.

callbacks.c: In function 'cb_presentation':
callbacks.c:960: error: 'SIGCLD' undeclared (first use in this function)
callbacks.c:960: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
callbacks.c:960: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[2]: *** [callbacks.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

==============================

(Actually thats the second time the make has be executed, hence the lib
directory has been compiled)

I'm guessing a library isn't accessable but the SIGCLD seems to be from
signal.h which I would've is widely available in OSX/Freebsd Arch.

The app is compiled in my home directory as well in bash (try csh still
no go).

Am I missing something?
