I have created a rpm package for fedora It is now on the fedora-10 updates-testing repository !

(You can download sr.rpm and other rpms build here : http://koji.fedoraproject.org:80/koji/buildinfo?buildID=100805)

Thank you for this excellent program

The output:

root@beagleboard:/data/pictures# xcowsay test

(xcowsay:1733): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_gc_set_rgb_fg_color() and gdk_gc_set_rgb_bg_color() can
only be used on GC’s with a colormap. A GC will have a colormap
if it is created for a drawable with a colormap, or if a
colormap has been set explicitly with gdk_gc_set_colormap.

(xcowsay:1733): Gdk-WARNING **: Using Cairo rendering requires the drawable argument to
have a specified colormap. All windows have a colormap,
however, pixmaps only have colormap by default if they
were created with a non-NULL window argument. Otherwise
a colormap must be set on them with gdk_drawable_set_colormap
