[gps-users] GPS gets 1 mention

[Hal V. Engel]

Perhaps if GPS ran on a wider range of Linux machines it would get more 
usage/publicity.  I have yet to get any version of GPS running on my amd64 
machine.  None of the binary versions work and I have not been able to build 
it on my machine.  I should point out that I didn't try very hard to get this 
working.  So perhaps with some additional effort I can get it working.  But 
it is disappointing that this is so much more difficult to get working than 
other IDEs.  On the other hand kdevelop, vim and emacs all build and run with 
no problems.  GPS needs to do the same.  Fix that problem and perhaps GPS 
will see wider use.
