Single dash (-DREDHAT) isn't accepted - maybe it's necessary to
set -DREDHAT=1 or so. I didn't try that. 

I'm chasing a linking error, where an old libpng.12 library pops up,
which then collides with the last version .15. For some reason grc
links with libxfce (which contains the old png version). I compile
loads of programs, never had this problem...

/etc/slackware-version

is one of the first files installed on any slackware system. It
contains a simple string like:

Slackware 13.37.0

Architecture might be detectable from uname?
