[Gate-users] Problem with ecat7 output

[Claude Comtat]

One more suggestion: do a "gmake clean" before compiling again Gate (or 
delete the tmp directory in your $GATEHOME directory). If the first time 
you compiled Gate without the ecat7 library, and then tried to compile 
it again with the ecat7 library without doing a gmake clean, it is 
possible that gmake ignores the ecat library.

Hope this helps,

Claude
