I get this message after configuring giFT in Mandrake 9.1. How do I fix this?

Maybe you just didnt install another package. Try the Install Software menu option and search for gift.

That's not a error.

giFT is only a daemon. In order to use giFT you need to install a based-giFT client (an interface), like apollon or giFTcurs.

oh, thanks. They should take that warning out so that they don't confuse people such as I.
