[OpenIndiana-discuss] Compiling Mosh for OI 151

[Robbie Crash]

Honestly, I think including this, I'm still on single digits with what I've
had to compile from source, and definitely the only thing that I've ever
had to figure out, so you not being a professional is still leaps and
bounds ahead of me.

I'm using gcc installed via "pkg install gcc", which I assume means I'm
getting it from OI.

I set the two variables as you recommended, with my paths, (export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/amd64/pkgconfig/:/usr/lib/pkgconfig/:/usr/share/p
kgconfig/" and export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/:/usr/lib/:/usr/lib/amd64/") and still receive
the same error.

Seconds to the drop, but it seems like hours.
