an apparent reply from Saurabh Upadhyay to a message that I didn't
see posted on magic-dev.)

There hasn't been a libtech.c or libmpack.a since somewhere back in
version 6.5 or 7.0.  If you're trying to compile these on Fedora Core,
you had better be an expert in porting source code, because you're
going to have a lot of work to do.  Stick with magic-7.1, 7.2, or 7.3,
all of which configure and compile readily on Linux.  The development
platform for 7.3 (i.e., my laptop) is a Fedora Core 3 system.
