    First thanks for all your work on abicocoa I can't wait to give it a
    spin. Second I DID read the README. In my original post I quoted from
    your README as well as an additional source. The reason I posted the
    question here can be found on the subject line: newbie. Although new
    to compiling *NIX software I am not new to computers and understand the
    basic concept of RTFM first ask questions later. In fact the first
    respondent was helpful, however I've gotten caught up on getting the
    GLIB2 to compile. So although I appreciate your taking the time to
    respond how 'bout reading and responding to the initial post. I've
    included it below for your convenience.

    Thanks
