We don't have symlinks to /usr/local ;)

But nice to hear you are have the problem located ... ;)

Using #include "scandir.h" in Tuxmath also didn't resolve the problem
(still get undefined errors to scandir and alphasort)

PS ... a small line with svn instructions would be nice on the website
(to tell users how to pull seperate parts like tuxmath and tuxtype's
trunk versions)
On that note ... when I pull the trunk for tuxmath I'm running into
problems with no 
./makefile.in
./data/makefile.in
... (list goes on here)
is there a reason for it? Because they do exist in the official source
tarball.

So far for now ... will keep you updated ;)
